Spidey is a Leica Fan

For those of you that never read comic books as a child, Peter Parker (aka the Amazing Spider-man) worked as a freelance photographer.  He specialized in photographs of Spider-man.

Yes, he made money selling selfies.



The camera shows up at the 46 second mark in the old cartoon intro.

It's apparently a Leica M3.


The latest movies have him using a Yashica Electro 35 GSN, another range finder.

Tobey Maguire breaks the mold by using an SLR camera.  (According to IMDB it's a 1981 Canon New F-1 SLR with blocked-out logo.)
