[eddie1960]

haha, my vid is going viral thanks to TOP 🙂

I think it's been linked on RFF about 10 times now.

great stuff

I sent it on to several people. Judging by the I want to buy a camera video you've worked retail before i completely cracked up over that one

Very funny and very true.

I hadn't seen it OR heard of it...
That was better than the Diane Arbus Missing Link movie...

Now I finally know how to pronounce "rangefinder".

"Range-a-finder." Totally cracked me up. SO on-target, too. I hadn't know of it until hitting this thread.

I think it began going viral before Mike J. made you really famous 😉 I saw it linked on APUG a few days ago.

best xtranormal video ever. completely appropriate and so very true. it basically sums up all of the common Rangefinder stereotypes, misinformation and biases in just a few minutes. part II is also hilarious and rings so true...

Excellent! Also hadn't seen the link before...

I find it very funny - in spite of being touted as a M2 "guru". I particularly like the fact that I am allowed to use Nikon Rf's - Swapmeet coming up on Sunday here in Vancouver and the video gives me a great excuse!!
Funny and well done.

The first time I`ve seen it. Had a good cackle over it and being a leica owner , it is oh so accurate.

FYI, there are two other videos available from the linked page, both camera-related. There is a part two for the video in question, and another that is just "I want to buy a camera", with the salesperson suffering. The links are the graphical button-looking things below the main content.

Good work!

I think we can cut down on all the discussions now by simply quoting
1) ...it is not acceptable!!
2) ...it is against conventions.
3) ...no exceptions - see rules 1 and 2.

After watching the video, I feel like an outsider shooting "unacceptable" cameras such as my 35ES or XA.

I say: that's what makes you even more hip. For what that's worth.
