View Full Version : Graflex in the Taco Bell Add in Super Bowl
It looks like Speed or Crown Graphics were used in the Charles Barkley Taco Bell add. There were photographers using LF press cameras in the background.

I had to laugh when I saw it, and asked a buddy if he thought it was digital. Grin.
Amazing that viewers still except the Speed Graphic as a legitimate camera example.

Well, they accept Taco Bell as legitimate food... :eek:
Touche and well done, Mark.

I have a Speed Graphic and I eat lunch at Taco Bell every Saturday. It's all sort of traditional. :D

Too bad that was one of the worst commercials of the night
it was painful
that dumb doritos dog collar commercial was even worse
Doritos must have put a lot of $ into their spots and all but the touch my momma one were dumb

My Super Graphic looks like a lunchbox (but it's even cooler than the Secret Squirrel LB I carried to school in the second grade).

Certain objects become iconic. For trains, it is the EMD F7 (e.g., Santa Fe Super Chief). The Speed Graphic is the iconic press camera -- think of all of the classic movies where they are used by the Press. I also remember seeing a recent fashion or cosmetics ad where the photographers jockying around the celebrity are using Speed Graphics.
