That just looks to be the frames lever, lens is focussed at ~1.5m.......

It was avoidance tactics before, now done my tax return so:

Philippe was shooting 1/180 @ f3.5 at 1100ASA with +1 EV

So 1/30th @f2.8 would be for ~65 ASA, perhaps a 1.5 stop filter (polariser?)
at 160 ASA? Hood is sticking forward of the filter so cannot be rotated
though.



As an aside, how many right-eyed photographers would shoot portraits that
way rather than shutter release on the top?

On my screen, there appears to be a tab at approx the 11 o'clock position in
your photo.  She is apparently holding on to the focusing tab, so I would
suspect that the filter is a polarizer.
