Stamps With Camera's Or Photographers

Here are two stamps which show viewfinder views.

First one is from Czechoslovakia, 1966.
It depicts a Soviet satellite and the camera viewfinder focused on the far side of the moon. Sc.1423. I got it OG, CTO.




Next is a 2014 issue from Switzerland. From a group of three celebrating cites of Switzerland (Sc. 1524-26 ), the one depicting Luzern shows a view of the city through a viewfinder with a young lady - likely intended to be a tourist taking a selfie - in the very blurry foreground of the shot. I cannot say I have seen before a deliberately blurry stamp.

In 1986 Tanzania issued a group of four stamps celebrating the 60th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. One of these stamps depicted several camera wielding photographers in a crowd greeting the Queen. One to the left is more obvious, but there is another behind her on the right.
Sc. 336 was issued in a mini-sheet of eight (as were the other three Sc. 333-335).
Following that one, Sc. 336a is a souvenir sheet with one of each.

Out of context, reduced to the stamp itself without selvage, the two versions are indistinguishable, although I suspect traces of the green SS border of 336a could be present on the perfs of that one when pulled apart.

Turnabout is fair play, so here on a 2006 issue from the Solomon Islands is Queen Elizabeth using an SLR camera herself! The issue is in celebration of her 80th birthday.

The SS shown below is Sc. 1043. There is a $5 denomination stamp of the same design which is Sc. 1041 I believe.

France
First Century of Cinema
January 14, 1995
A minisheet of four stamps, one depicts a movie camera.

Portugal
100 Years of Cinema in Portugal
August 7, 1996
Set of six, one stamp depicts Portuguese film director Antonio Lopes Ribeiro (1908-1995) with a movie camera.

Here are two from Portugal that I believe have not yet been posted in this thread.

First, from 1978 is one from a series on work tools, this one showing several varieties of camera: still, movie, etc. Scott 1372.

Second is a 1994 issue in a culture series, this one is noted as "Fotografia // Cinema" and shows some photographic symbology held by a bird.

Serbia
50 Years of Television Belgrade
June 16, 2008
A vintage television camera appears in the design.

Germany
Birth Centenary of Helmut Käutner
March 13, 2008
The stamp commemorates German film director Helmut Käutner (1908-1980) who was active mainly in the 1940s and 1950s.

Here are a pair which Turkey issued in the sesquicentennial year 1989. Scott 2450-2451; Michel 2865-66 depicting a camera and a stylized multi-color aperture. The latter is quite a bright and cheerful stamp.
Using stock image rather than scanning and editing my blocks of four which just arrived.
