The gear featured runs the gamut. I've seen Rolleiflexes, a pair of Robots (I think) Leica M3 DS, M2, Nikon S2 or S3 and of course the Graflex Super Graphic. It brings up questions of product placement now. It's interesting to see these things in the days before the SLR took over. Yes, even in a TV show, but their placement and detailed use in the series shows both how ubiquitous the gear was and how the fans of the show knew what Kovac would be doing with his cameras (Usually I really think that Bronson is taking those photos when I'm watching due to the way he's using the camera.) Flashbulbs really flash, Kovac changes them constantly. He loads a Leica M at least once an episode which is not really a glamorous act but it happens. It's just a fun and very interesting look into the past, to almost the beginning of widespread television penetration into the US households. Makes me want to be a freelance photographer! ;) Phil Forrest On Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:49:27 -0600 George Lottermoser <imagist3 at mac.com> wrote: > Thanks for the heads up on the series. > I watched a few; but this one took the prize for: > Photo drama > And > PhotoChopping > > ;~) > > > Regards, > George > (from iPad) > > On Jan 5, 2011, at 20:24, Phil <photo.forrest at earthlink.net> wrote: > > > Yup! that's the series.
