New RF countdown......(Canon?)......

[Ben Rubinstein]

especially if you use the different picture modes that are built into the camera. The HCB/Tri-X mode is really good,

Um, yeah right.

I'm sure everyone will have guessed by now that there is no AF Rangefinder. It is a rather poor attempt at an April Fool's joke but with a serious side to it.

......


It is feasible that the interest that has been generated will go someway towards getting what a lot of people want, and we might just see a new affordable digital rangefinder in the near future (albeit without the HCB/Tri-x mode).

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Happy April 1st!!

I was right, he wanted to make a point.

Sort of funny ... and sort of not.

Well, I thought it was funny anyway . . . .

 

[roanjoh]

The good news - Leica M9 still reigns supreme in the full-frame rangefinder category.

Bad Joke and I think in the future he made himself a joke.

Oh David - surely everyone has a free let-off if they make a joke. Otherwise the world will be a sad and miserable place, because there will always be someone who doesn't find it funny.

Well, I had some hopes, but suspected. Regardless, I'm not upset with him---it was one of those April 1sts that took some time to work out--and we all just got suckered in LOL.

and we all just got suckered in LOL.

Did we? (Bart Didn't)

 

[dseelig]

Yeah but with the investment I have made which is way out of line with my pocket book in leica gear, something that could make it go down in value right away makes me nervous, is just not very funny to me. David

Thanks, Jeff Ascough, you had me going. It is a great spoof. I enjoyed getting my chains yanked.

Sort of brought out the gear lust in all of us. It is not the photography; it is the gear!

Now to put on my Lewis Leathers anorak...

I still say we tar and feather him. Or at least just feather him. That should make him laugh as hard as us, right?
