Can someone please explain this?

[Huss]

I'm not familiar with large format cameras, so is this a 'thing' that you do, and inside joke? or?...

There always will be jokes that one does not understand, except for the ones who make them.

 

[AgX]

But to me it rather looks like the maker got an obsession with food...

The seller has lots of pins of various cameras -- most are without any food items -- from Minox to large format, and has sold quite a few. With Christmas coming up, sales probably will follow -- with or without any food.

The melted cheese plugs pinholes in the bellows. The grease makes the bellows more supple.

Maybe a reference to Walker Evan's "Hungry Eye?"

The seller is from New York. Someone needs to ask them if that's an authentic New York style slice of pizza on top of the camera. That might make a difference to collectors.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Some of those pins are very cool, but what does one do w pins? I guess give them to other people as gifts so they then wonder what they are going to do with them?

Most on the website are pretty clever, but these are just strange:

You guys don’t put pizza on your cameras?

 

[Philippe-Georges]

I use to put pizza's IN FRONT of my camera...

I got a slide projector that by its shape, ventilation slots and metallic suface resembles a toaster. So I felt the urge to put halves of toasted bread onto the slits.
My kind of humor...

Did it make good toast?

Anyone who sold a 100 pins of a camera with a burger on top clearly has great knowledge of the very specific niche market they’re dealing with. This person has my respect.

 

[AgX]

Which shows that we are living behind a rock.

 

[Helios 1984]

I wonder if that person takes custom orders? I'd pay for [APUG] w/ a screeching possum and the words "Reject Reality! Embrace Film!".

 

[wiltw]

A pin... I wonder when we will see bumper stickers?!

Well obviously you can’t just put it on the ground.

 

[Sirius Glass]

My pizzas would be eaten to fast to get anywhere near a camera.

... would the pin fix a light leak in a bellows?

 

[snusmumriken]

Probably not, but a pizza might.

It could make some.
