You know those places that look like the perfect place to live in? Like the apartment at friends or the one in Seinfeld? Well, those just got demoted to a shack statue with Jared Polin’s introduction of the $4,000 peephole.
Now, over the years we did share a hack that converted a peephole into a fisheye lens, but this is, I think, the first time we are sharing a lens (and DSLR) turned into a peephole.
So, bill of materials:
- 1 fireproof door
- 1 old lens
- 1 D800
- 1 PVC tube
and a huge drill…
Just for comparison sake, here is that door from friends again:

Where the fuck does a D800 come into this, he used an OLD film body. Besides this video is soooo old.
If heard right, he uses a n90. But he placed the D800 to show on live view how it looks like.
How many people would click on a title that says “How to Turn A $50 N90s (And $100ish lens) Into a Spiffy Peephole”…? ;-)
Just stick a UV or a Skylight filter on the lens so that visitors won’t put their grubby fingerprints on the lens.
Whata TARD!
Very Stupid Idea !!
