Movies / Cameras in the Movies / TV / Media If you are a photographer, it's difficult not to appreciate movies too. In this forum you can discuss movies, as well as the cameras used in them. What camera used in what film / TV show etc has long been a topic of discussion at RFF. Whether the Exakta and 400mm Kilfitt lens in Hitchcock's Rear Window or the Nikons in Eastwood's Bridges of Madison County, cameras are tools which reflect the time and technology of the film.

Smile Pecker, the movie

The supreme photographer's movie, although with John Water's rather strange sense of humor. Can you guess the cameras featured in the movie besides the obvious Nikon N50?

I have to say I had to quit the movie after 15mn. The way it was shot, directed and acted, it should have been a cartoon featuring a pineapple and a sea star in shorts.

Quelle niaiserie!

Each to their own. But no one completed my question. What about the other camera? The one the fancy photographer was shooting? Hint: has a G in it's name.

You guys forgot the disposable Kodak flash that the Laundromat girl shot through the basement window.
