I was watching TV last night and was half-watching an ad break during a movie when I spotted a DSB 50 1.9 lens staring back at me.
Freeze the TV and rewind...it is Samsung's ad for its latest phone, extolling how much photography has progressed over the years.. Anyone on this Forum will have recognised a de-branded Yashica FR and the aforementioned DSB lens used in the ad.
Although they stripped Yashica and the FR designation from the items, it was a pleasure to see a Yashica modern classic being used to illustrate the glory days of 35mm film. Nice one - respect to the creatives in the advertising agency. |

A few weeks ago, I had an FR on ebay. Got a message from some production company - "could they have it by tomorrow for a shoot". A guy came round that evening and collected it. I wonder... I should have asked what they were shooting.

I should have asked what they were shooting. Maybe we should start a PhotoGear Modeling Agency. I kinda like the idea of being a Star Maker by 'grooming' a few shelves of my protégés. :) I wonder how many FR's and DSB lenses the sudden exposure is going to sell...? |
