PetaPixel Photography Gift Guide 2011 xmasgifts mini

Christmas is almost upon us, and for the second straight year PetaPixel’s gift guide comes incredibly late. Think of it as a general guide to nifty photo-related gifts that have emerged over the past year rather than a Christmas gift guide — after all, gifts are great to receive year-round, right?

    Uhhh, It’s hanukah now and Xmas is in 5 days, a bit slow on the draw there eh…

    Anyone that attaches an SLR lens to an iPhone should have their camera privileges taken away from them.

    Just think about it this way, they paid $250 just to do that… I’d say that counts as a fitting punishment. ;)

    I also love how they advertise the adapter with: ‘It essentially turns your iPhone into a DSLR.’ ..no, still an iphone… with a big ass lens attached to it.

    crop factor FTW!!!

  • will hall

    not quite how it works, i believe the lens image is projected onto a ground glass screen, and the phone camera takes an image of the screen to accurately replicate the DOF effects available to larger sensor cameras

    It looks like the Airframe frames are $160 for a set of three delivered to the US.  A single is $59 to the US.  They do look pretty cool, though.
