Always wanted shoot people ’in the wild’, but fear the reaction? With the Super-Secret Spy Lens you can get shoot almost unnoticed. Your objective is longer, but don’t let that spoil the fun.
A lens that does not look straight ahead, but to the side: this is the Spy Lens in a nutshell. And since few people pay attention to the camera, but to the direction were the lens points, you can sneak the most bizarre photos. And those are often the nicest.

The Spy Lens is actually a lens you mount on the front of your 'real' lens with the supplied adapter. Without the Spy Lens adapter fits on a lens with a filter size of 52 mm. For any other format is an optional adapter ring needed. The range starts at 49 mm ($ 5) runs through to 77 mm ($ 10). This ring you screw on your lens like you would do with a filter. Instead, then place the Spy lens on it and you can start.
Tilted mirror
On the side of the lens is a hole. If you look in it, you'll see a tilted mirror, which ensures that your camera is not looking straight forward, but in another direction. The whole you can turn left, right, top and bottom. So if you want to shoot someone in front of you, then you have to turn sideways to that person. The front of the Spy Lens features a translucent piece of glass, making it looks like a normal lens.

Vignetting
The lens fits using adapter and gradient ring on each camera and almost any lens.
Some drawbacks still deserves mention here. First you have to deal with vignetting. Only with a super zoom lens that’s minimal. The Spy Lens is only usable on tele (zoom) lenses, but not on a fish-eye or wide angle lens. In addition, you suddenly have a gigantic long lens, which is obviously less practical in use. Only a real photographer however, will see at a glance that it is not a normal lens.
