Rear Window
Everyone of us knows this Hitchcock's pearl. It was made in 1954 and everything is perfect, except the black on the front plate. Someone wrote it was for avoiding free publicity to the camera. It is possible but it'd be interesting to have more information on this subject. Maybe some US camera collectors, dealers or repairmen know more... Black on not black, everyone can identify the camera!

It is nice to see the Japanese captain's glance at such a strange camera. Perhaps the Japanese reflex camera industry started the production from this day? Did the captain become the famous Mr Nikon?

Farewell to the King
The camera used in this movie is clearly an Exakta with the cover over the square magnifier, so there is a removable wlf and the camera is probably V or Varex, 1950 or after. Mistake! In the movie we are near the end of WWII, at least 5 years before.

The camera is surely a VX IIb

The Last Emperor
Nine Oscars for this great movie, surely not for the propertyman!
The year is 1934, the camera is a VX IIb (1963), the prism (how did they mount on the camera?) is a Zeiss Prism (1949). What can we say more about this, surely honest, mistake while other details were wonderful?
