I went to see the new Jurassic World: Dominion (or whatever it's called) last night.

Without revealing anything important, near the beginning of the film, one of the characters is talking in a semi-permanent outdoor tent.
Behind him is a shelf of old equipment, including what seems to be a 135mm lens, a lens case for a 80-200-ish lens, and a generic silver/black SLR... but which one?

My first guess was a Spotmatic, but later inspection was that there was lettering on the left, facing the camera, that may have looked more like K1000... though it could have been anything... it could have said SRT101 for all I know... but I couldn't read that or the name on the prism.

So, have any of you seen the film? were you even remotely paying attention to that?
It got bonus points with me for including a C-119 Flying Boxcar, which is frankly less realistic than dinosaurs at this point...

There’s a C-119 in Geneseo, NY, but it was a long way from being flyable when I was there in 2013…

I guess there was a chronic wing issue with the C-119s, and they ended up being pulled from almost everything in the late 80s.

That's not terribly surprising, I suppose, since it was basically, well, a flying boxcar... they got used hard... a lot...

The one in the movie, if I had to guess, is almost entirely CGI...
I have seen the one at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton. On a related note, that museum all by itself is worth it to get a super-wide lens...

I bet it was a spectacular camera platform.
