Pentax Spotmatic features in cool new Steve Carell movie

sungibr · 06-27-2018, 06:14 AM

The movie Femme Fatale, a 2012 from Brian De Palma, have Pentax well feature in the hands of Antonio Banderas.

You can see one P1Z (I guess), mounted with a FA* 28-75 and a 645n with some kind of a digital back.

And I think there are a great lenght of the second season of Stranger Things that have a Pentax ME, I guess.

We are much more mainstream than we think

This looks like an interesting movie, though there is already a thread about it and the Spotmatic

If the film setting is “early 60s” a Pentax makes sense, as it was very popular, but the SPII wasn’t out until later. If before ‘64 it should have been a non-metered model. The Spotmatic was introduced in ‘64. The SPII in ‘71.
But movies seldom get such details right, and it doesn’t affect the story.
I was once contacted about loaning my VW Beetle for a movie set in the late ‘50s, but mine was a ‘62, and I was amazed they thought of that level of detail.

I drive a '67.

The savvy types will already be scouring eBay and snatching up every camera with the "Asahi Pentax" logo stamped on it and then re-selling them in 5 or 6 months after the movie premieres.

I had a suspicion, confirmed by some sleuths on Photrio, that the Japanese Satanist in Rosemary's Baby used a Pentax. So there's that...

My Mexican 1973 model would probably mess with your mind...

It ended up in every section of my university newspaper at one time or another... that was a very long time ago...
