@peterdegraaff no... now see - if i were going to try film (which i just might one of these days - for fun doncha know), and if i were gonna make my own, i would start with a shoebox or a tin can or somepin more mundane... besides - with my luck, i'd have everything hooked up to my iphone when the call comes in to tell that i've won a million dollars in the lottery ;p
but srsly... what exactly does one gain from this contraption? i'd still have to carry around the lens and the adaptor, both of which cost beaucoup de bucks... and while i am sure there is an app for that, i can't imagine one would have the controls one has on a dslr... so again, while i get the inguinity cool factor, i'm not sure what one gains... @icywarm
@northy If we ever get paired up for a challenge you might be buying a film camera for $50 or less and taking a roll.
BTW I have a little telephoto lens for the iPhone but it is a novelty. For the money that can be spent on conspicuous phone consumption I could buy more cameras.
I find that whole IPHONE into a DSLR pretty humorous and quite awkward. lol I can just picture someone pulling that out of there pocket and a big event or race! haha I dont think itll last.
@grizzlysghost@northy@peterdegraaff I think it is completely fun but overpriced. I am just thinking that I would need an iphone dslr tripod just to be able to focus the lens.
Noticed this was for Nikon and Canon lenses.... I find most users of these products buy things because they are "cool" and "hip" so they prolly own iPhones anyway....
@grizzlysghost@peterdegraaff@northy@bobfoto I have the gorillapod... best be getting an iPhone so I can get the lens doobalacky to transform said iPhone into a DSLR... right?? teehee... NOT!
@bobfoto Wonder if you get this contraption the capture of in flight hummingflies would be made easier?? HAHAHA.
A bit much.... sensor size, for one, will keep the iphone from ever becoming a dslr. And if you feel like hauling your big lens, why not the camera as well? iphone is great for what it is, but I'd personally never use a dslr lens on it, even if the adapter were free.
