iPhone Lens Dial turns your smartphone into a turret-lensed throwback. The iPhone Lens Dial features wide angle, fisheye and telephoto lenses, which swivel into place over top of the existing camera's lens Image Gallery (9 images) Once upon a time, before zoom lenses were invented, movie and TV cameras had three lenses that the user could choose between, using a Lazy Susan-type arrangement to swivel them into place - you wanted to go wide, you'd swing in the wide-angle lens, if you needed a close-up, you'd swing in the telephoto.

Keith describes how to make a pinhole camera out of your digital SLR. Results are compared to a significantly more expensive lens not made of toilet paper tubes. 11 megapixels ought to be good for something... Basics of the pinhole camera The original camera -- probably first noted a very long time ago when someone saw an inverted view of the world outside cast onto a wall through a hole in a window shutter.

For distant objects the optimum radius of the pinhole is approximately equal to the square root of the product of the wavelength of the light and the distance from the pinhole to the sensor. Thus for d=50mm and a wavelength of light of 550nm we get a pinhole radius of 0.165mm or a diameter of 1/3rd mm. For a 200mm distance to film we need a hole of 2/3rds mm. Both sizes quite easy to make, but you may need several attempts to get a good clean circular hole. A poorly shaped hole will introduce noticeable loss of quality in the image. Conclusions.
