I am no expert in lens recognition, but I think it may be a 50 f1.4 as it seems big for a 55 f1.8. Yet the top of the pentaprism doesn't have the painted Honeywell logo which would hint an earlier version of the H3v (SV) which would not work with the 50 f1.4
But again, those eyes!

Thanks,

With the camera out of focus, it is difficult to tell about the Honeywell logo, nd since it was a product placement, the logo could have been removed.

I found a video clip from youtube - followed by other clips of her from the movie.
Not as crystal clear as my screenshots from the actual blu-ray movie, but still nice to share the video with you folks...

Thank you. The correct expression to describe this escaped me at the time....

I think I'll need to hear a saxophone playing to be inspired enough to positively identify the body.

(It's okay kids, find old reruns and you'll understand.)

I know this post is from 2007, but I can't find the film called "Aperture" on the internet.
What was this film about? Was it related to photography? If so, I'd like to locate it and watch it....

This is another film I'd like to see, especially if it's about photography (in some way)....
Addendum: I found the trailer on youtube - I'm curious if the film is available in the English language (??)

Pentax gets a mention in Michael Gilbert's "Night of the Twelfth"

Quote:

‘I’m a keen photographer. I’ve got three cameras. A Nikon EL f1.4 with a fifty-five millimetre lens, a Hassalblatt and an Asahi Pentax SV. They all take interchangeable telescopic lenses.

and later:

Quote:

‘That’s a set of photographs I took last sports day,’ said Mr Diplock. ‘I got them with my Pentax using a 55mm lens and a shutter speed of a five hundredth.’

There is a movie titled "Shutter" from 2004, listed on Netflix. I cannot find anything about one titled "Aperture" on IMDB or Netflix. A google search comes up with a movie short filmed in 2013 an released in 2015. I cannot find it available though.

Not sure but that camera Benny Hill is holding looks like an OM-1.

poseidonstouch · 09-15-2021, 09:47 AM

There is an 8 element 50mm f1.4 Super-Tak in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice". Perhaps someone said this already?

The little slope on the shoulder makes me think it's a Nikon FG-20.
