I’ve been avoiding even considering a digital SLR and sticking with my 18x optical zoom Fuji point-and-shoot for several reasons. One, the Fuji takes great photos. Two, I don’t even know how to use all the settings on the "simple" camera I have. Third, and most importantly, I can’t afford all lenses that I’d want. Well, the Super-Secret Spy Lens is seriously tempting me.
Meant to fit the end of your SLR’s zoom lens, this guy has a secret cut-out on the side and a precision mirror assembly inside. In short, you can shoot left, right, up, or down (it swivels 360 degrees), all while appearing to shoot straight ahead.
