Movies / Cameras in the Movies / TV / MediaIf 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.
This thread would be incomplete without a mention of Horst Faas, who died earlier this month. Photos show him with multi-cameras, Nikon Fs and Leicas.

I have a Seiko 6309-7040 sitting on the desk beside me as I read this thread. I bought it new in 1975 (from memory) when I got my first full-time job. And here's a pic of me wearing it in 1981, at the top of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. True vintage stuff.
And you lot now have me looking for a copy of AN on DVD.
