    Groundbreaking Technology

    Want a digital SLR to carry around biking but can't affort the lenses?

    Want a lightweight system that fits nicely in your camelbak?

    Want an infinite depth of focus?



    Example image using the AirFoil Lens System on a Nikon D-70.

    The answer is the new amazing AirFoil Lens System! Yes, using air, and a ingenius way to contain it using metal-alloy foil technology, a super-lightweight lens was handcrafted for mobile SLR photography in our advanced optical laboratories.

    Just in time for christmas, you can have this remarkable technology for your next bike trip. Order yours now for only $9.95* from AirFoil Technology, Inc. And if you order in the next 30 minutes, we will throw in two AirFoil Lens Systems for the cost of a single AirFoil Lens System.




    The heart of the AirFoil Lens System is this microscopic lens made of air.


    (*plus $3.95 S&H)


    (PS: I hope you have a sense of *my* humor.)

    Heehee, had me going for a second. Thought I was going to get to exercise those Moderator super hero powers...

    I've seen some shots done like this with the pinhole body cap on a DSLR - is this what you used?

    Re: Groundbreaking Technology

    If you mean taking the body cap and drilling it, it's a pain and you really need a thin material. I simply put a hole in that foil tape (ducting tape) and taped it on the body. I think my hole is a wee-bit too large and there needs to be a little baffle to reduce stray light. I probably need to cover the viewfinder too since there may be a light leak there as well. I posted another pic in the gallery under the toy and pinhole section, which shows the straylight effect for a long exposure.

    my pinhole cap cost me 7 dollars for the body cap and a pepsi can. It is a real fun form of photography though, i must admit. It does make it obvious that my camera is reallllll dirty though. -pete
