Unexpected rangefinder references in media

[AJShepherd]

I was highly amused when I came across this panel in volume 17 of the manga "Hayate the Combat Butler", where some of the characters are discussing how film cameras are best, and rangefinders are the best of all.

I can't think of a least likely place to see a reference to rangefinder cameras!

Clearly it's a Summarit 50mm f1.5 lens:
an excellent choice for manga characters...and the rest of us, too.

A Canon body, right? Looks a lot like the P I had...

Isn't Japan Leica's biggest country for exports?

Clearly I do. Anime, manga, fourth wall? Actually, I have a brother-in-law in korea who has wanted to break into the Korean version of such things for years. He has never been successful at it, or much of anything else for that matter. Nice guy though.

Oh awesome, if you don't mind I think I'm gonna use that as my facebook photo...definitely a Canon P!
