Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / May 2007Angle converter?
Does anyone know where I might find one of those little adaptors you fit onto the lens to 'convert' the angle of the shot by 90 degrees so you can take a candid shot of someone without them knowing? I don't know if these things have a name, so I can't google for it. I've tried, but keep getting info on wide angle lenses.

Yeah, I just noticed that. Wonder what the quality might be like when using one of these? Guess I'll soon find out as I have the urge to buy one. I'd use it to take shots of the kids and the dog...'and any gorgeous females I might come across in my travels. lol. I've put a shot on the alt.binaries.photography to show the kind of thing I'd be after. ;-) Joe. <snip> > I've put a shot on the alt.binaries.photography to show the kind of thing > I'd be after. ;-) I'm on a text-only news server - can you do it in ASCII graphics? :-) > <snip> >> I've put a shot on the alt.binaries.photography to show the kind of thing [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > :-) I probably would, if I knew what that meant. ;-) Joe. > I probably would, if I knew what that meant. ;-) <tsk> Youth of today, eh ? ;-) Chris >> I probably would, if I knew what that meant. ;-) > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Chris Hah!

Damned if I can remember what it's called. Joe. I think Adorama (adorama.com) still sells these devices. SignatureThe smaller the fine print, the less you will like what it says.
