Where have you spotted a film camera?

At a wedding I rung for today, the stills photographer was toting a Contax G2 as well as two mirrorless jobs.

So 3 mirrorless jobs then. Nice, the SLR is indeed dead.

Had it been a Sony RX10 IV, it might have been a bridge too far...

Just had the video for 'Nikita' by Elton John on That's 80s* - he was brandishing a Nikon of some sort, with a longish (135mm?) lens.

* Now it's Rick Astley - there was some right rubbish in the '80s...

[nerd mode]Looks like it might be a black FM with motordrive, I suspect the lens is the 200mm F4[\nerd mode]

There's a still in today's i from the film Asteroid City.

This is a different still (from the IMDb) from the same film with the same camera.

Never heard of Muller-Schmid before. In this case it's not surprising - it's a Kiev in disguise!

With the little Swiss emblem, one can only imagine, what if Alpa had got hold of the Contax drawings in 1945?

It looks a bit like a 4m,

The 4m has a rewind lever - the one in the picture has the older knob.

Are you sure John?

My 4M has a knob as do this lot:
