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:
