rogerwb Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 <p>In the promo clip for "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" there is a quick glimpse of a lady shooting with an Exakta VX. Of course, with the usual Hollywood inaccuracy, she is holding the waist level finder at eye level. No, the sportsfinder flap is not lowered.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 <p>In its day, this was the SLR of choice.</p> <p>In the Hitchcock movie <em>Rear Window</em>, an Exakta was the camera used (with a honking telephoto) by Jimmie Stewart ( http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00V/00VBtt-198449684.jpg )</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Shafer Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 <p>Here's a <a href=" to the trailer on YouTube</a>. The Exakta moment is around the 1:40 point.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 <p>Thanks Kent.</p> <p>The moment passes in a flash, but the kid is definitely looking through the closed sports finder on the Exakta.</p> <p>You'd think film makers would be aware of photographic things, but obviously not.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_the_waste Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 <p>Was that supposed to be something like George W. looking through the binoculars with the lens caps on?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
