View submission: Anyone have examples of reviews like this?
Not an online review but I once sat and listed to a broadcast cameraman ranting about the light loss of a lens adapter that allowed a lens for a 2/3" sensor camera be used on a 35mm sensor. He insisted there had to be lossless adapters available, which isn't true because physics.
Also had a customer when I worked at Target during college come in looking for "one of those VCR adapter tapes for his camcorder." He then proceeded to show me a MiniDV tape (a digital format) and I spent way too much time trying to convince him what he was looking for didn't exist. He finally said "Fine, I'll just go get it at radio shack!" I asked him to stop back by and show it to me after he bought it.

The problem with the second one is that there was a mini VHS format for camcorders. Obviously not the same thing, but what he wanted was possible with the right setup…
