Whoop-de-do...

It may attract lightning but it certainly ain't going to attract wimmin...

Have I slipped through a worm-hole in the time/space continuum and found myself in the 1st April?

Some actually like nerdly types - maybe it is babe magnet?? Anyway, I will happily hear some live reports, from the more adventurous.

Another presumed use

May be it's a sort of not completed slingshot/catapult for... photos and hunting into the wild?

Ok, now how do you spell parallax?

It's an antenna so you can pick up TV programs on your digital camera

No doubt it's "unusual"... I wonder how many they sold...

jaques · 28/02/12, 15:29

I actually did 'Laugh out loud'... LOL- for once.

Absurdism at its best- Alfted Jarrie would approve. And why 3 viewfinders on one camera? A flash maybe... or a light meter...

The seller understands salesmanship:

"This will REALLY impress your rangefinder friends!"

jpattison · 29/02/12, 11:51

OK, Admit it.... which one of you bought it?

***Pintpot*** · 29/02/12, 13:20

Not me

someonenameddavid · 29/02/12, 13:38

But it has "Luftwaffe Eigentum Betreibsk Ansel Adams" engraved on it with a rare serial number and red curtains....

I was just about to say that the extra 2mm of my M6TTL have been giving me trouble with external viewfinders, but this puts it all in perspective!

I dont expect the perspective will alter just because of the height

At least the lens hood wont intrude on the view.

Is probably meant for flash I suppose, although I wouldn't want all that leverage on the camera shoe even with a small flash (or two!)

PS for some reason 'Chrome' doesn't want to show emoticons properly in the reply here, I had no problem with Explorer.

Mmmmm

Not to me I might add despite it's hypnotic attraction.
