I love it! I wonder where they got the idea? It's extremely well done.

I think if they had done it on any other date, the gag would have run for months.

[Lucy Telford]

Oh yes :-)

But now it exists...sort of.  It's only a matter of time!

Superb.  It's one of those that make me think, "I wish I'd thought of that."

I did have some plans for another April Fools this year, but didn't have time to bring it to fruition.

You're lucky... I hunted high and low to try and invent some clever prank but just came out empty handed...

As for the the meter prank, it did get me wondering a bit how the heck the thing could have worked... until I saw the date of the post

[Thom Stone]

thats pretty awesome. I want one still.... just because it looks cool, and when people ask what it is I can pass the joke on.

Just pausing for just a brief moment......

Can you imagine the level of debate bile spitting on "other photographic forums" if those things really existed for Nikon, Canon and Leica? Gives me the shivers even thinking about it. 

[Francois]

Well, it sure would shift the debate to calibration issues and meter sensitivity

Maybe I should start making them and marketing them as the next big thing...

Well, I posted this on the Fickle Polaroid group, and one guy there called Oxxxxx 8 literally had an internet conniptions over he had invented it before me!!! So, I can guess.

Love the idea of the bokehmeter though. Superb! Skj.
