Mad or Sad??

[degruyl]

Glad to see bored and oblivious are in the lead. I'm going to home to load 810 film holders.

Where the heck is the like button on this forum?

Me, I am going to shoot 4x5... at night... But at least it is a rangefinder.

I'm sad because I thought Jeff was testing the camera one of my industry contacts told me about a week ago, except he said it was a completely new Leica A9. No typo there, it would be a new series of Leica.

Anyway, despite not getting any independent confirmation from Jeff, I still think Leica has something in the works. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

Amused; it was a wind up, and lots of people were wound up! Me included! ho ho ho

Oh.. I answered it before reading 🙂

I answered "sad" as in "in general"

I'm with you. Why do we have decide between an aging epson (which I love, btw) and the M9? There's room for something in the middle...

You can't really win with "April Fools' day jokes." (quotations because this one wasn't on April 1st).

If you think it's stupid half the people think you have no sense of humour.

If you think it's funny half the people think you're stupid.

I'll just ask...did anyone truly laugh?

Didn't think so.

Other than the whole Google/Topeka thing (galfriend asked me what was up with Google's home page, and, before looking at it myself, I said they sometimes play with their logo to highlight holidays/significant birthdays, etc., then saw the page, then immediately remembered the date...🙂), I haven't bothered to notice any other All Fools' stuff. Since I don't watch TV, I'll obviously miss out on any major visual puns or silliness there, but that's okay, since I'm too busy grooving on the sweet weather we're having today. (Mother Nature ain't no fool!)

In the xitek forums there is already calls for DOS attacks on his website.

what about glad? i'm glad about all the interest and excitement people showed, and that it (reportedly) got the attention of two big camera companies.

You all got it wrong. The rumour was true. The joke was when he told you it wasn't true which he posted on April Fools day. Now you're all confused and can start all the hyperbole again😀

this is one of the most revealing and interesting threads on RFF in the last month.
I'm saving this one.

The guy who put the rumor on his website laughed at all the fools who believed him 😛

Incredible how some people react. One day you are hero, the other day hand of devil.
