Old Cameras in Old Movies

The (zoom?) lever on the Bolex H in that movie is terrifying.
I hope no one lost an eye...

This one, seems to be a Canon VI with rapid-cocking lever, body in chrome and black:

Yes, you got. (I looked at all Kodak instamatic camera pictures Google presented me, but it did not show up. Furthermore Kodak's german offer was different from the US one. First time I learn of that model.)
That model is sported by several actors in that movie...
 
Voigtländer Brilliant

"Rogue Male" , tv-movie , UK , 1976

setting: Germany 1939

 
Pentax Auto 110 Super w. winder
"Derrick" , episode 111 , TV crime series , West-Germany , 1984


The commissioner utters that the guy with that Pentax is ahead of police camerawise...

Camera disguised as "Enta".

 
What kind of flash is this?
I guess a 12V pilot-light (as for use in cars) fixed to a flash.

"Derrick" , episode 108 , TV crime series , West-Germany , 1984

 
Almost looks like the "Wink Light" that Polaroid pack film cameras used to use, just a little incandescent bulb fired from a capacitor (for the 3000 speed film), with a plug-in tiny reflector and socket for AG-1 bulbs for the slower films.
 
I still can't figure out which Canon EOS cameras were used in the 2002 movies Harrison's Flower. Anyone knows?

I am rather thinking of this light


I had mounted such in my car in the days of that movie. As focusing aid for scene-of-crime macro photos it would make sense being fixed to a flash as in that movie scene.
 
Yep, I think you may be right -- if not that exact unit, something very similar.
 
"Village Films" ???
A collectors item?
 

I watched it again last night too ( it is back on Netflix )
his car only does analog...
 
Yashica D


episode from "Percy Stuart" , TV crime series , West-Germany , 1969

used by a fashion photographer



 


From the British TV series George Gently Season 1
I don't know which camera this is.
 
Makes me think of a Retina. But I could not find such a model with central located flash-shoe and narrow divider between the two windows.

I believe it's a Braun Paxette.
 
Looks a lot like the Retinette 1b in my avatar
