It is April 1st tomorrow and this usually means that it is time for a bit of foolery.... We have dug out some of our favorite photographically-themed April Fools from the past.
There have been some great April Fool's stories run in the history of photography. We remember one from the 1980s when Olympus claimed that photography had been first discovered by a Japanese monk in the 18th century, over a hundred years before Daguerre and Fox Talbot. And there was the one about the 16-2000mm zoom for your SLR that a magazine reported was going to go on sale from April 1st.
