The "What is it?" thread - Part III

[Bobsyeruncle]

I think we're due a Canon question

Ok, what's a canon?

 

[JennyGW]

Ok, what's a canon?

It's on page one of all Nikon manuals. "Should have bought a Canon".

Canons went out of fashion after the battle of Waterloo

Canons went out of fashion after the battle of Waterloo

Hoho

 

[Nod]

Isn't Canon a company that used to buy its lenses from Nikon?

 

[Mark twiglet]

Ok sorry for delay!

Can be used on nikon or canon View attachment 37800

 

[NikonKev]

Nope! The right is my fingers!
And I took it on my phone I'm afraid so it's a bit noisy

 

[Nod]

Hahnel or similar generic/modular release?

 

[JennyGW]

Eye piece cover or magnifier, something like this?

 

[Mark twiglet]

Hahnel or similar generic/modular release?

I'll give you that! It's the Hanhl intervalometer cordless hotshoe adaptor

 

[JennyGW]

I'll give you that! It's the Hanhl intervalometer cordless hotshoe adaptor

Nearly said that, but it seemed so obvious

 

[Mark twiglet]

Nearly said that, but it seemed so obvious

Oh I'm sorry my picture was so easy!

 

[Nod]

Possibly a bit less easy. NOT photography related and can't even think how it could be used in any way other than a subject!

A tool that female smurfs use to check the size of male smurfs?

 

[Mark twiglet]

Oh I thought it had to be photography related!

 

[Mark twiglet]

It's a one way road sign in smurfland!

 

[NikonKev]

A Blue Smurf mask ??????

 

[Nod]

No to all. And it's not Smurfette's lady smurf parts either. Not smurf related in any way.

 

[NikonKev]

Is it cuddly ?

 

[Nod]

No. Not even a little bit snuggly. It is figure hugging if you have the right figure and size though.

 

[NikonKev]

A bicycle helmet/hat/hard plastic thingy ?

 

[Nod]

Need a bit more specific than "hard plastic thingy. You wouldn't buy one of these in a bicycle shop BUT a shop that sells these might sell bicycles as well...

 

[NikonKev]

Halfrauds springs to mind, now i need to narrow it down considerably me thinks

 

[Nod]

Don't spend too much time mentally scanning the shelves in there, Kev - you could be barking in the wrong shop genre...

 

[Mark twiglet]

Skaters helmet!

 

[Nod]

Not a helmet (not even a frustrated Dalek's helmet...)

 

[JennyGW]

A foot hold/rest/thingy?

Similar to this ..

 

[Nod]

Not bicycle related other than being purchased in a shop that also sells bicycles.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Water bottle or holder?

 

[Nod]

Neither. Not drink related other than the fact that I sometimes have a drink when I use things that this is used on - and if you're not confuzzled by that, you should know exactly what the thing is!

 

[JennyGW]

knee pads? elbow pads?

 

[Nod]

No padding.

 

[JennyGW]

Hmm .. a clue .. how big is it?

 

[Gremlin]

Not another lego fan
Is it a bit of lego ?

 

[Nod]

That's a very leading question!!! Smaller than a football but bigger than a golf ball.

 

[JennyGW]

Tennis ball? If not, I give up

 

[Nod]

Not that big, Jenny.

 

[Bobsyeruncle]

Divot lifter?

 

[Nod]

No but in an odd way, closest so far.
