Ok, folks, can you name all the twin lens reflex cameras by brand and model shown on the logo of this website?  
 
And, out of curiousity, how many of you can name the brand and model of any camera you might see a photog. carrying from 20 fee

Cameras in old movies I can name - if it's a news photog using it, it's generally a Graflex, but I have seen Leicas and an Argus C-3. I watched a film today that had an old box Brownie.

OK, I'll play. Eye of the Needle, 1981; Donald Sutherland uses a Leica (III?) to photograph the phony aircraft the Brits used as a decoy for D-Day.

Well Tom, just had a look at the Logo which is ofcourse very small. Had it downloaded and enlarged a bit but there is just too little pixel-data. So, unfortunatly no, i cannot recognise them expect for the middle one which is (ofcourse) a Rolleiflex

Ok, guess I'm the only nutcase around here who has the experience and zaniness to do it so here goes:  
 
Starting from the left the first one is a Rolleicord IV, next a Flexaret (4 or 5?), center is a Rolleiflex, next is a Yashica-Mat 124
