April Fool Stories

Postby Mike Farley » Tue 02 Apr 2019, 09:32

PetaPixel had a roundup of people's outlandish imaginings here:

They missed the one which really made me laugh. I follow a Facebook group which is usually called "Photography With Classic Lenses". To qualify for discussion, lenses must be manual focus and are usually vintage, being no longer in production, although modern designs are also permitted. This is a group of people who most determinedly eschew the convenience and speed of autofocus, preferring the way older lenses render.

For 1 April, the group changed its name to "Photography With Classic Auto-Focus Lenses" (my emphasis) which prompted the following angst riven post:

"THE CURRENT GROUP NAME IS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE GONE BAD. FB ONLY ALLOWS ONE CHANGE PER 30 DAYS, SO WE ARE STUCK WITH IT UNTIL MAY."

They took one for the rest of us. Raising a laugh for a whole month is above and beyond. :lol:
