              how to mount DSLR lens to iphone

              An iPhone SLR Mount for Canon and Nikon Lenses

              fsnewslogo An iPhone SLR Mount for Canon and Nikon Lenses
              Hey everyone. I saw this and I had to share it. It’s kinda cool but if you own these lenses… Well let’s leave the comments to you guys and see what comes up. ;)

              From time to time I find the cool, the absurd, the wild, the inventive, the helpful, the shocking, etc, etc, that I just want to share with you. In this case it’s a product that allows you to attach your high end lenses to your iPhone. I’m curious to hear what you think of this new product.

                The beauty of of the iphone is that it allows me to travel light, be spontaneous, discreet, etc… If I’me going to carry around my 70-200 and take the time to mount it to my iphone, I might as well shoot with my slr… that being said, what a cool new toy :)

              • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1259733979 Raphael Ammann

                it all comes together now! this makes so much sense! finally I don’t need an slr camera to use my five slr lenses i bought last week! the world needed this product! glad it finally hit the market! thanks guys!

                I don’t understand the obsession with all this backward thinking lo-fi photography, phone camera’s should not be accepted as a serious medium of photography.

                lol, that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen. LOL, i am laughing hysterically

              • http://kenntam.com Kenn Tam

                I agree it’s totally ridiculous but when I’m shooting portraits, I shoot with my digital, a dash of 35mm, a pinch of polaroid and anything else I can get my hands on.  I love shooting in as many different ways as possible.  I know its absurd but a 50mm on my iphone would kinda be fun on those days when I’m playing the mad scientist of photography.  That being said… eep!  It’s pricey.

                I’m not sure why a professional/prosumer/consumer would use this. I mean it’s a pretty cool “idea” but so very flawed. If you already have one or a bunch of Nikon or Canon Lenses you most likely already have a DSLR camera body (one would assume). Not to mention this just gives you better manual focus control not a better image quality or better low light shooting say with a fast 50mm f/1.8, the iPhone 4 still has it’s own lens the light has to pass through (f3.2) at only 5MP. Not to mention the crop factor must be insane. This just doesn’t make any sense. UUUGHHHH! So many new Canon/Nikon lenses don’t even have manual apeture rings. They must be banking on the photo uninformed or the overly curious, to purchase this item. I mean don’t get me wrong I’m curious but this is something I would spend 30 min playing with and then be left with a $190 paperweight.

                Canon 350d body can be found for as low as about 230 bucks. This ridiculous thing costs almost $200 shipped. It looks more like a joke than a serious product. Maybe if it was possible to remove the default iphone lens, it would make more sense to do such thing but the sensor is still much. much smaller than the aps on 350d.

                It will be as small or smaller than the iphone with that huge attachement on it.  C’mon CANON!!

              • Pam Soshkin

                Awesome!!  Can’t wait until they make a hot shoe mount for the ipod so I can attach a pocket wizard to it and do some off camera strobe work with it.  It will look great with a 70-200 and pocket wizard on top of the iphone.  I would probably attach the pw tt1 mini to make it more portable. lol

                The iPhone camera is great, as is. We’ve all seen the iPhone fashion shoots. There’s an old saying….. ‘If it aint Broke, don’t try and fix it!’ P

                Absolutely hilarious. I wonder what the ergonomics of handling such a kit are like :) Also, I can totally see the added value of a small device like the iPhone when you stick on megalenses like that.

                I just came up with a use for it. If you’re a Chase Jarvis or someone who is constantly posting your BTS stuff you could throw a lens on and upload immediately to FB, oh wait, your phone already has a lens on it and you can already do this … nevermind, still no practical uses for this thing

                I don’t think it’d work very well for any “G” lens as you won’t be able to change the aperture.

              • http://twitter.com/KevinGarrison Kevin Garrison

                Well there’s an obsession with it, thus it’s considered a serious medium of photography.  People use photography to express themselves – just because you don’t agree with the medium doesn’t mean that it should not be accepted as serious.  There are war journalists using hipstamatic to cover wars and getting amazing shots.  I absolutely consider it a serious medium and a desirable one. I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t think it’s fair to negate all lo-fi photography as unserious.
