The folks at filter manufacturer H&Y have just unveiled a variable step-up ring for your camera lens filters called the REVORING.

The Image Fulgurator is a brilliant device created -- and patented -- by Berlin-based artist Julius von Bismarck. It's an optically triggered slave flash that fires through the back of a camera, projecting a message or image on the film through the lens -- basically, it's an optically triggered projector.
