What camera is this?

<p>Store window ad. </p><div></div>

Might just be a mockup/dummy.

<p>Given the position of her eye, she certainly isn't looking thru a rangefinder, her eye is directly behind the lens.</p>

<p>That's a good/tough one <em><strong>Sanford</strong></em>.<br>

Maybe an old Regular Eight movie camera?</p>

<p>I've got one that might be a lot easier:<br /> I think all of about 1 second in a fast moving scene in a Toyota TV commercial. (Current)<br /> It looks Russian to me.</p><div></div>

<p>I think it has been photoshopped to fit it's creators artistic vision. The circle of the lens matching the sunglass covered eye. The rangefinder window so the camera doesn't disappear into her hair. I can't recognize what it started out as though. </p>

<p>Yet another empty-headed marketing concept brought to you, like every other lens frame made in the world today, by Luxottica. Clicking through to the contest gallery reveals no photographic talent whatsoever.</p>

<p>At a fast glance appears to be reversed image of a Konica Hexar the one with fixed lens f2 with maximum shutter of 1/250th.</p>

<p>Overall dimensions, bottom half protrusions, rewind lever, viewfinder, and the side profile tell me that it is an early <strong>CZJ Werra 1</strong>. However, it is either madly photoshopped, or physically modified/painted. The lens is added separately, no Werra lens looks like that (size-wise maybe Flektogon or Cardinar). See the photos below.<br>

<p>Thats funny, I actually have a Werra-somewhere(a). No wonder it looks so familiar to me.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about the camera, but her hand looks very, very strange. Impossibly strange. The anatomy is all wrong. So, given that, the camera and hand may not even exist, they were possibly overlaid onto her face. People spend a lot of money on ads, you'd think they'd get it right. The lens also appears to be located in the wrong place, as it's too far down on the camera body.</p>

<p>That Werra reminds me a little of my old Voigtlander Vito CL, but if the camera in the photo is the model of Werra in the picture posted earlier, the one in the ad has had the lens removed.<br>

However, even if the camera were able to take pictures, the figure portrayed doesn't know how to use it. </p>

<p>Not a real camera IMHO. To many points of contention with any real camera.</p>

<p>The photo is derivative of a classic B & W image of a face, camera and eye that dates back 50-60 years. I wish i could remember who took the image, but it wasn't piecework like the present.</p>

<p>Maybe an iPhone cover.</p>

<p>Yes, Feininger's "The Photojournalist". Photo is of photographer Dennis Stock. Leica SM camera with Tewe finder? Not sure of the lens... (<a href="http://www.gallerym.com/work.cfm?ID=176">LINK</a>)</p>

<p>The image is from an Italian eyeglass company, Persol, which has a website promotion of B&W photos<br>
