It's either a joke or Thom Hogan is ending his relations with Nikon and converting to Sony. I hope it is a joke, but check it out and tell me. I don't see April Fools anywhere.

I don't know if it's a joke either. Amusing to me.

The italic mention of April 2nd is a clue that it is meant to be funny, but Thom is not all that funny in my opinion. He takes himself quite seriously.

My guess is that it is a joke, but as you say Hogan is not a joker, but this could be his ante in. LOL.

You have to wait for enough suckers to take the bait ... before you say, "April Fools!" ;)

It must be a joke because Sony is not that great, IMO, and Thom is picky.

Yeah, it's his attempt at levity, no doubt.
And I agree, Sony (while highly-capable in some areas) is too full of holes for a rounded photographer to completely jump into.

I don't even see the article, it doesn't appear on his website. :-\

Maybe it's Michael we should be careful about? ;D

There have been April Fools articles about the 'Return of Kodachrome' and a 'new Fujifilm camera that will be full frame 24x36' elsewhere on the photo/web today

Akira, you may have something there :)
Keith, and the one about Sony buying Leica and calling the new company Leica (are you listening Erik? :) )

Thom still has Nikon gear in his bag. http://www.dslrbodies.com/technique/essays/in-thoms-bag.html
When I saw the Sony article, I thought "Nice one, Thom" and browsed on.

24x36 feet sounds about right to me. Wet plate though, right? With a swimming pool of developer. Digital equivalent would be a terapixel (hassy is working on that sensor right now)

He often does an April Fools thing like this. He did have a quip amount making room to store extra batteries...I assume Sony cameras burn through them.

Yes it caught a few on dpr for 1 April
As did this clickbait :-) "
For those waiting for it, Nikon has finally announced its full-frame mirrorless camera and new Z-mount.
I would have loved to see IBIS but otherwise looks great.

2 pages in this thread, and nobody has linked to the article, so maybe there's a good reason. ;D
