Thanks "shephard" makes sense....just found the script: it reads as follows:
"Excuse me.
Isn't that a Thornton Pickard?
Yes. Are you a photographer?
Dabble in it.
Got a Sanger Shepherd.
- A Sanger Shepherd?
- Nice little camera.
Focal plane shutter,
rapid rectilinear and all that."

I already understood: "Sanger". But on my question above which model it might be, still nobody replied...
Sanger Shepherd are known for making specialist cameras, though in that movie scene there is no hint at such specialism.

It looks like their three color camera is a pretty standard folder with a special sliding film holder in the back, and a sliding color filter in the front, behind the lens. But it could probably be outfitted like a normal large format camera. See the picture at the top of page 12:

Not that much standard. There were several models of these cameras. Miethe was the first to introduce such. You cannot just slide the plate-holder, it must be slided in intervalls, then as fast as possible, with the shutter closing inbetween. Unless you are sure of completely static subjects (no moving leaves, clouds etc.)
If that dialogue was not completely made up, and the naming of those two manufacturers indicates that it was not, there must have been at least one "normal" model.
However my own archive only reveals three models:
-) 3-colour
-) 3-colour stereo
-) monochrome stereo
But now I have to go back to the cinema...

Not an old movie but an example of failure to conduct due diligence and research.During the credits of "THE PHOTOGRAPHER OF MATHAUSEN" displayed was a strip of negatives clearly marked KODAK TRI-X. As far as I know TRI-X was created in the 1950's.
A Rarity:
Facial Composite Projector from IOR
"Profession: Investigator" crime movie , USSR , 1982
In the background a classic wooden portrait camera and a sliding back camera.
I already hinted at IOR as setting for another movie.

Did you know that enlargers were once used as top-secret bomb sights in WWII?
Sorry for the slightly off-topic-ness.

I seem to recall reading that the Norden bomb sight was ultra Top Secret, so no pictures of it would have been available. Why not use a pic of an Omega enlarger since the real thing wasn't available..

Split grade bombing? Would a cold light help?

That was fun! They even wrote 8mm camera, an expression of the Double-Eight times.

Was it determined what Rollei was in Operation Finale? I watched it last night and saw the Rollei and the roll of 120 film being passed around. Just curious.
I agree--good movie.
