Funny Cartoon - Rangefinders
« on: July 14, 2013, 10:08:51 PM »
As a rangefinder user (a lowly FED2), I found this cartoon really amusing :-

An oldie that has been updated with the introduction of the Fuji X-series. Still fun.

My FED2 is often mistaken for a Leica, but I do have a Leitz lens hood ;D One bloke said 'well at least that's a start'. It's all been good natured though. I've found Nikon snobs to be bad. One old guy told me that using my Nikkormat with a Praktica strap was an insult to other Nikon users  :o

I aim to get a Bessa R to use with my Jupiter 8. I think it will be nice to have framelines and a meter.

I loved this way too much. The robot voices took it over the edge for me.

I am using my Sony Alpha strap for my Zorki 4. I need to use that thing more often. I loved that video, and who ever made it.

I've got a few Sony Handicam straps on various cameras. I did cover the Handicam logo with some ribbon to avoid being attacked by the members of some odd camera cult  ;D

Oh no, I've got a Zeiss Ikon and no Leica. It even needs batteries.
I must register at the "Wrong Rangefinders Anonymous" right away to get help.
