In a recent Thai movie, the director decided that one of the main characters who was supposed to be a son of a very rich family should hold a Nikon (looked like F Photonic T without a strap) for the first half of the movie. According to a poster given to me by Nikon Thailand, that body was released in 1965. But the movie was meant to be 1960, five years prior to its release. Occasionally, the director decided that he should let the boy take some photographs of his schoolmate and teachers. The view then switched to a through-the-viewfinder-like one (without any kinds of indicator, shutter speeds, f/stop, all the exposure stuff, is this normal for earlier Nikon bodies?) Then the blurred image inside the viewfinder of that manual body became as sharp as it could be and as fast as an AF would do. Frame by frame, he somehow managed to set the exposure and focus on the fly and went as fast as what looked like 3 fps (all crisp sharp). That was fun. I wish I can do things as fast as that boy. I'm sorry I went too far off the topic. Okay, I can recall that there was an article in Practical Photography several months back. It was about Nikon in movies. There were Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich and Jodie Foster if my memory serves me well. I'm not sure about the names I said, but I'm sure there was what you are looking for. Happy shooting! :) Best regards, Ruckdee C. [E20JLS] http://i.am/renardnolt ------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
