i aquired a new "lens" today

it is probably the cheapest, smallest, lightest, most abuse resistant "lens" that money can buy.
even water wont damage it (but it will still ruin the body you have attached)

now for the Bad news.
it is a 51mm f234 so it is really really slow, no autofocus (actually no focus at all)

here it is attached to my old Eos300

HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE


ok so its not really a lens, just a body cap with a hole in it (thats why i put the word lens in quotation marks)
its really fuzzy too, but i have only shot inside with the flash so far, i will take it with me next time i go out and will try it for something a bit further away.
it was just me mucking around anyway, to see if it works. i know it is kind of pointless, spending 1500 Aussie Dollars on a Digital SLR only to turn it into a Pinhole camera (which has been around for a looooooong time)
but it kept me off the streets for an afternoon.

what can I say "hidden L" you should put a red ring around it, or maybe dust sucker (should not be a real problem). I doubt the images will get sharper outside they just will be romantically soft. Auto focus tho'. Have fun.

Nice lens, buddy, nice lens. Goes to show, a camera is nothing but a light-tight container with an orifice that can be covered and uncovered. Everything else is an assesory.
