11Jul 2D Photography Rube Goldberg
Gotta give credit where credit is due. According to Wikipedia, a Rube Goldberg machine, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction. The expression is named after American cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg. Here’s a very clever photography ‘gear’ themed Rube Goldberg. Be prepared for about 4 minutes of video via YouTube member 2dPhotography.

Cute indeed, even if it’s two minutes too long. But boy these guys must have a loooooooot of time on their hands.

Some really clever stuff. I especially liked the ball passing the line of Nikkors, then the L lens getting hit with a hammer.

Ha! Very amusing … but like the comment above, I wonder how much time this took to rig up?

He must own a camera shop! Very well done. I passed this along to my 2D photo forum, photozo. com. Thanks for posting it!

I really hope that was a lens cup that got hit with the hammer.
