Another look at that copy camera in Doctor Who “The Crimson Horror” (2013).

A really interesting camera; evidently a whole plate copy camera. What I can’t quite work out is the panel on the side. Is it a a ground glass? Reflex focussing perhaps? It would be useful in a camera mounted in this manner.

In the 2001 movie “Iris”, the story of novelist Iris Murdoch, we see this Nikon F4.

The F4 was the first pro Nikon SLR to have autofocus. Interestingly, it was also the first to have no manual film advance lever.

From russia with love (1963) mock up TLR camera

Don’t let the image fool you. In the film, this is a voice recorder disguised as a TLR camera. It is not certain if the prop used at the movie was also fake or a real TLR.

It sure looks like a real Rolleiflex. It’s probably easier to use a real one that make a prop.

Cameras in “Killer Elite” (2011).

The ex-mercenary Danny Bryce is seen at one point with a Nikon F2 Photomic but is never seen using it. His working camera is an Olympus XA.

Another spy uses a Ricoh KR-5, and yet another has a very nice black body Olympus OM-1 with a motor drive.

The Hasselblad 500 C/M is indeed a tricky camera to use. Too tricky for some, it seems.

A Univex Mercury camera in the 1992 movie “The Public Eye”. This was an unusual half-frame camera made by the Universal Camera Corporation in the late 30’s. it had a rotary shutter giving a speed of 1/1000 sec, and flash hotshoe - the first camera to have this. The OP below is in error, suggesting it to be an Exacta.

Slide show!

There’s a lot of photography in evidence in the latest Doctor Who episode, “Hide” (S07E09).

At one stage we see the Doctor in a darkroom watching black and white prints being processed. Later, when he gets back from a quick jaunt through time with a borrowed Nikon F he has a slide show using a Kodak Carousel projector, with the sonic screwdriver serving as a remote.

It’s not clear how he got those slides processed and mounted so quickly. I suspect something timely-wimey happened.
