Colombo: Espoleta retardada
   

McDowall is also a photographer and uses de camera of the age, a Nikon F with standard prism and a Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 lens. In wide planes the camera does not shows any modification, but in its single short plane (Below right) a black tape covers the engraved Nikon brand. What could have happened?. One year before, in the chapter Murder by the book, a Nikon F was showed in a short plane without any tape.
