영화를 보다가 문득 라이카 카메라가 나오면 눈이 번쩍 뜨이는 것은 비단
저 뿐만은 아니리라 생각해봅니다.

최근에 본 영화에서도 라이카 카메라가 나오는 영화들이 꽤 있었네요.
요즘 개봉중인 '어린 신부'에서도 잠깐이지만 바르낙형 라이카가 나오구요.
'오 브라더스'에서도 바르낙이 소품으로 등장했습니다. '빅피쉬'에서는 M6TTL
또는 M7으로 보이는 라이카가 잠깐 나왔고, '스파이게임'에서는 브래드 피트가
종군사진기자로 온몸에 라이카M을 둘둘 말고 등장하지요. 원아워포토(스토커)
에서는 미니룩스 줌 블랙이 등장합니다. 그리고 라이카는 아니지만 '하트인아틀란티스'
에서는 핫셀블라드가 나오네요. 잔잔한 재미를 주었던 영화입니다.

라이카가 등장하는 영화 리스트를 올려봅니다.

Famous Leica users
Some film stars also appear to be Leica fans off the set. As I note above, Brendan Fraser is a keen amateur Leica photographer - you can see some of his photos on his www site. Likewise I have seen photos of Brad Pitt using a chrome M6 in a women's gossip magazine. Similarly Spike Jonze gave a press conference a few years ago with a black M6 hung over his chest. In May 2003, the photo.net Leica forum had a small discussion about a photo of Matt Damon in NW magazine "properly" holding a black M6.

Also in May 2003, [38] noted the following of a Bar-Mitzvah he recently attended:

I was at a Bar-Mitzvah yesterday and was stunned to see that one of the guests was also carrying her M6 with a 50mm f/1.4 lens and firing away. It was none other that Jamie Lee Curtis. We chatted for a few minutes and she has been an avid Leica M6 user for the past twenty years! She has her camera with her at all times (well maybe when not on the set!)
Upon my remarks above about Yul Brynner using a black M3 on the set of "The Magnificent Seven", [39] sent me the following note:

Yes, Yul Brynner was a very avid and excellent photographer who used Leica. After his death, his daughter Victoria published a book of his photographs, many on movie sets he was in, many of his fellow movie stars.
The book is called: "Yul Brynner: Photographer" by Yul Brynner, Victoria Brynner (ed) Harry N Abrams (1996) ISBN 0810931443


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noted film director David Lean - Bridge on the river Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter, A passage to India - was also a huge Leica fan when shooting stills during preparation for his movies. In the biography of him by Kevin Brownlow (ISBN 0-571-19168-1), at p.594 Mr Lean is quoted:

[…] The trouble with the Hasselblad is that it's bloody heavy and when you make an exposure and press the shutter it goes off like a cannon and every bird in the district takes flight, so you can't creep up on things.

Through my brother, I gradutated to Leicas and I've got a beautiful Leica now. I've taken slides on that - I alternate between slides and negative film - and I've blown them up to six feet across and they're pin sharp from side to side. I cannot recommend a better camera than the Leica. I've got thousands of photographs scattered all over the place.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did Stanley Kubrick use a Leica when he was a PJ at Look Magazine from 1945 to 1949? Maybe! According to my Kubrick reference: "Stanley Kubrick - A Biography" by John Baxter, Harper Collins London (1997), ISBN 0 00 255588 3, at p.28 it notes he used 35mm film, but not what kind of camera. However in the same book it shows a group photo of the "Fear & Desire" crew and one of them has a Leica III around his neck. As this was Kubrick's first movie and made only a year or so after leaving "Look", maybe Kubrick was a Leica man!…


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It shouldn't come as a surprise, but Leicas were popular amongst Nazi party members as well. Along with Leni Riefenstahl, [39] sent me the following remarks about Rudolf Hess:

When Rudolf Hess landed in Scotland during WW2, one of the things he carried with him was a Leica. The Duke of the estate where he landed kept and used the little Leica for five years before they decided to return it to Mrs. Hess in Germany.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of autocratic, undemocratic rulers - our very own Queen, HRH Betty Windsor, is also a keen Leica photographer. When not opening parlaiment or bagging grouse, she likes relax by shooting her corgi's with a Summicron. You can see a photo of her using a chrome M6 on p.144 of Sartorius "Identifying Leica Cameras" reference book [46].


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly, Leicas also made a large impact during the otherwise Nikon-F dominated Vietnam War.

Larry Burrows, who covered the Vietnam war for Life Magazine for nine years (1962-71), was a Leica user. You can read a detailed biography of him and even see a Roger Mattingly photo of him with a couple of M3s, in this Feb 2003 Digital Journalist article by David Halberstam [8].

Nick Ut, the PJ who used a Leica M2 to take the famous "girl burned by napalm" image, is also featured in another Digital Journalist article. (If you are wondering about the exact names of people involved in that particular photo, see this informative July 2003 LUG post about Vietnamese names.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are couple of famous big-game hunters who were also leica users [10]:

(1) Famous American writer Robert Ruark mentiones in one of his books from his big-game hunting in Kenya, that his no-less famous proffesional hunter Harry Selby, who acccompagnies him during a month-long safari, carries a Leica. In fact Ruark mentiones it when it is stolen from Selby by some natives.

(2) Famous female pilot of the thirties and well-known "femme fatale" Beryl Markham (once a mistress of the prince of Wales and later king in England) was also the owner of a Leica wich she used to take pictures of the game in Kenya.

Other appearances…
As well as movies, lots of Leicas can be found poking around in the National Georgraphic www site. Just type "Leica" in the "Search Our Site" box at the top of the NGS page - this will spit back a list of all the pages with Leica pictures [1].


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Charles Klopman, from 1954 onwards all of Paramount's "Vistavision" movies were filmed using Leitz lenses. For those who don't know what VV is, it is basically 35mm still photography applied to motion pictures, whereby each frame of the movie is actually a standard 24mm x 36mm frame - double the size of a normal "35mm" movie frame.

Furthermore, Nico Beyer, German director who makes TV commercials and video clips, still uses Lecia R lenses mounted either onto vistavision cameras, or else directly onto a R9 for stop-motion "techno speeded-up" movement effects (LFI magazine, 6/2003 at pp.47-50) -

For more information on Vistavision, see the Widescreen Museum link here.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leicas have also made their mark at NASA [17]. See the following link for a story about a beaten-to-death M3 used to photograph astronauts, politicians, flight-controllers and other behind the scenes topics from the Mercury missions up until the latest shuttle launches:




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Draper - White House staffer and Personal Photographer to the President - could be seen on TV using a Leica M during the US State of the Union Address, 2003. Apparently Leica Ms must be used in the White House (and Oval Office) to keep the (shutter) noise down! See this discussion at the Leica Forum in Jan 2003.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Leica even pops up in the cartoon book, "Tintin - The Castafiore Emerald". You will find lots of drawings of a photographer with a M3 [5]. Believe it or not, Leica have even released a special edition "Tintin" minulux to commemorate this [8].


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not obscure enough for you?… [15] reports that an early 1930s Leslie Charteris "The Saint" novel also features "a Leica negative" as a piece of crucial evidence, depicting the villain with Hitler. In the later "Senor Saint" series (1953-55), in "The Golden Frog" the Saint is described thus…

The slacks were tailored of the lightest Italian shantung, the shirt was a still finer silk, even the sandals were of beautiful leather and finished like expensive shoes. The camera was the newest and most costly model Leica.
Additionally, [5] notes that Dutch author W.F. Hermans, in his novel "de donkere kamer van Damocles" ( The darkroom of Damocles), also features use of a Leica camera for WW2 espionage work.
