Perhaps you woke up this morning and said to yourself, “You know what? I’d love to waste $100 on something I don’t need.” Lucky! This 3D lens cap from Loreo is said to “create” “3D” “images” when used in conjunction with a 3D viewer. A gimmick, in other words.

In its defense, it does work with pretty much every SLR on the market, including, probably, the now-rumored D90. As a poor, wannabe photographer, I’d be willing to plunk down money for the D90, I think.

  • This reminds me of those things you always see at the museums that make the split 3d images. I didn’t think they were cool when I was a kid, and I definitely don’t think they’re cool when I’d have to pay good money to have one.

  • This is neat, adding perspective to photographs makes them really stand out ;-)

  • spellcheck is your friend. Lans cap?

  • These do work well. I own three for various Canons with different sized sensors. They create true 3D images, not some kind of gimmick. You do need to use a viewer (essentially a stereoscope) or be able to free-view side-by-side 3D images. The lenses are nowhere near as good (obviously) as standard SLR lenses, but for 4×6 prints the quality is fine, and realistically it’s pretty hard to view 3D images much bigger than that with a hand viewer.
