Vintage Camera Sightings

[Mad_Gnome]

Anyone seen the movie "The Corruptor" with Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun Fat? There's a stakeout scene where Wahlberg is using a manual-focus camera. I couldn't tell what kind. There is the distinct sound of an autowinder, then he cocks the shutter. I had to stop the movie, I was laughing so hard.

I love it when a manual wind camera has a motor sound.

Rented Hannibal Rising tonite and watched it. There is a scene where one of the villains is taking pictures of one of the main characters with a rarely seen camera. It was a Mikroma made by the former Czech camera factory called Meopta. It is a subminiature acmera taking 16mm film.
