recent movie: spy game

-- stefan randlkofer (geesbert@yahoo.com), March 15, 2002.

What is the body he's got in his hand? And what's the second body he's carrying?

I can't tell coz my screen here at work is too dark.

Also, why don't I look that good when I carry my Leica? ;{

Hello Stephan. If Brad Pitt's lens is not a 50mm. with pull-out hood,then even he doesn't like using a lock-on hood because it gets in the way. Regards.

Clearly, since he's a spy, he should have worn John Chan's Leica Stealth Shooter (TM) ensemble. ;-)

-- Preston Merchant (merchant@speakeasy.org), March 15, 2002.

Well, he's wearin' half of it. I still haven't negotiated the licensing rights for my stealth vest ensemble to his Hollywood agent yet. Oh well, next stop... P. Diddy.

The chrome one's gotta be an M4 or M6 by the rewind knob. It's not a TTL due to the smaller shutter-speed dial. The lens looks like it might be a collapsible Summicron, but I can't tell for sure. I can't tell on the black one, but is that an auxillary finder on the top or an MR meter or?

Proof that everyone looks like a dork when wearing a photo vest.

-- JM Woo (wooismyid@deletethis.yahoo.com), March 15, 2002.

If they were trying to be technically correct, the time frame of this scene was in the 1980s, so I would hope that the TTL and collapsible hooded 50mm lenses were not used in the movie.

My favorite technical flaw... motor drive sounds from a manually wound camera. See the movie "Somebody has to shoot the picturtes", in which a Leica M and Nikon F2 make the exact same motor sound.

-- Al Smith (smith58@msn.com), March 15, 2002.

The second body appears to be a black M6 with the older motor winder attached. Can't tell what the lens is though.

That guy's a versatile good actor. Check out the movie "Snatch"...available at Blockbuster, very funny!

-- James (snodoggydogg@hotmail.com), March 15, 2002.

i think i remember that he used a nikon fm with a longer lens as a second body. and the sounddesigner used a rather loud mirrorslapping sound for the M

Anon,I have seen the film and I belive I saw a 28/2.8 III without itīs shade.

Why should anyone give a shit what kind of equipment Pitt carries?
