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.

Killer Elite/Oly XA2/Nikon(?)

My daughter and her husband went to see the latest Jason Statham film 'Killer Elite' last night. In one scene my daughter says Jason Statham uses an Olympus XA2 ("the same as you have in the glove box of your car, dad.")

In another scene an SLR is used which she thinks was a Nikon. The film is set in the early Eighties.

There was an Olympus, that indeed looked like XA/XA2. The SLR I think was a RICOH.

It was a Ricoh, and he used an XA2 in the one scene. Sweet!
