Lens Cap Turns Micro Four-Thirds into Pinhole Cameras

Do you long for real pinhole cameras? Now they exist in the digital world, and I'm not talking about image-editing effects applied after you shoot.

Basically, the Wanderlust Cameras company is two guys with a yen for unusual photo products. Late last year, they used Kickstarter to raise money for their first product: a lens cap with a small hole etched through it. The cap, called Pinwide, fits micro four-thirds cameras except the Panasonic AF-100.

With this cap on, micro four-thirds cameras can take wide-angle still photos and even videos that look a lot like traditional pinhole photos captured by film cameras.

Pinwide sells for $39. For some great tips on using it, see Wanderlust's FAQ page.
