Re: More Pentax spotting
It might have been. The way movies are made the scene could have been shot at different times then stitched together. There are lots of times that the continuity is a film is screwed up this way, (in fact it's fun to look for them). At 04:41 PM 5/15/2001 -0700, you wrote: Aaron Reynolds wrote: Great!!!

Funny thing though is at a certain angle, when he was actually taking some snapshots with it, it kinda even looked liked a rangefinder.

More Pentax spotting
So, Vanessa gave me the Beatles Anthology eight laserdisc set for my birthday (those of you with laserdisc players and Beatlemania should be advised that the set, previously priced in the neighborhood of $250, is now $29.99 plus shipping brand new from several online laserdisc retailers and is entirely worth the money). So, of course, I have about fourteen hours of Beatle-watching to do. And what do I find by the fourth hour? So far TWO references to the mighty Pentax! The first, in discussing their first tour of the USA, Paul speaks of wandering tourist-like around Miami, and taking lots of pictures with our Pentax cameras. The accompanying footage, however, doesn't give us a close look at what they're shooting with, except that the bodies are black and they appear to have 50mm lenses on 'em. This would be in 1964. I seem to recall having a close look at the SLRs in their movie Help! (from 65 or 66 IIRC) and finally deciding that they were Nikons, but I don't remember what finally made my mind up about that...I know that a reporter brandishes a Pentax of some kind in the earlier A Hard Day's Night, and I'm pretty sure that when Ringo is wandering around sadly by himself he has a Pentax, but again, I forget what I used to make up my mind. Anyhow, later in Anthology, they show some footage from a Beatles appearance on a British TV show, and Ringo's drum riser has been made up too look like an SLR, complete with lens, and across the prism is the inscription Beatax. Okay, I reread this message, and I've decided that I'm either obsessed or just really a geek. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Beatles Pentaxes are probably S3, S2, S1, or S1a. Paul M.
