I saw the original French Rififi film ( French military slang for a combat zone) that was made about ten years earlier, it was about an incredible jewellery store robbery, I'll never forget it it was one of the most exciting movies I have ever seen.
At that period 1972-79 a uncoupled selenium meter was an anachronism. More so as Pentacon since 1968 had a TTL model (the last model of the Nova series).
But seemingly they needed a cheap, entry-level L-series model with meter. The L-series TTL model came in 1970, 2 years after the start of that series.
Being so awkward made me include the selenium model here, though we already got the L-series represented here.

Gusset Cutter
"Dotknięcie Nocy" , crime movie , Poland , 1961
A portrait photographer lives and works in a miserable attic.
Of course the best movies are those where the murderer is the photographer himself... and then asked by the police to take the scene of crime photos.
With the Praktina of the Police.
And not to miss, the sound of the dial timer-switch at the police darkroom.

Reversed image. Rodney's wandering eye is on the wrong side (not to mention the Kalart and flash on the Speed Graphic...).
Hitchcock's Topaz had a couple of cameras. The first was hard to get a good photo of--it is some kind of sub-miniature camera. Here the French agent is using it to photograph a member of the Cuban government:
Second is the cuban underground photographing the Russians installing the missiles with a Olympus Pen F. This is probably an accuracy mistake since the Pen F came out in 1963, but the Cuban missile were installed in 1962:

What do you mean by that?
If you're into somewhat cheezy European camp--there is "Danger: Diabolik". Here he is posing as a media photographer, while he overcomes everyone at a government press conference with "Exhilarating Gas" or laughing gas:
