I sold off my Wanderlust Pinwide<\/a> some time ago in anticipation of this one from SLR Magic and after some waiting … finally it came knocking at my door yesterday. The company has yet to officially sell this sexy pinhole ‘lens’ … so this is a special preview and I’ve no idea of the pricing yet. Introducing the SLR Magic Pinhole for Micro 4\/3 (M43) cameras!<\/p>\n

Here are some photos of the unboxing process …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The SLR Magic Toy Lens Pinhole comes in cute little box that has a similar design as their Toy Lens<\/a>. The pinhole lens sits comfortably inside in a crystal case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Design wise … this one from SLR Magic is definitely a winner being slimmer and looks way cool. I am saying this based on comparison with the first version of the Pinwide and I’m not sure if there are any later versions of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you are wondering if the slimmer profile and finer details on the pinhole lens is all there is to have an advantage over the Pinwide … the answer is ‘no’. What is more important … is that there is a slim piece of glass on top of the pinhole lens. It acts like a filter to prevent dust from getting into the camera (sensor!) through the little pinhole. I am not sure if dust can ever get through that little hole but I received many questions from blog readers regarding this when I blogged about the Pinwide earlier. I am sure the glass filter gives many of us a peace of mind when out shooting with the pinhole especially on windy days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I do not have the exact specification on the aperture size (pinhole) but it is stated on the box that the focal length is 24mm (35mm equivalent).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the side … you can see that this SLR Magic’s pinhole is probably as thin as the body cap! Since I am only using this pinhole and SLR Magic’s Toy Lens on my E-P1 … I’m gonna leave this pinhole lens mounted most of the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another photo of the pinhole lens on the E-P1 …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m gonna go play with this set up during the weekends and come back with photos to share. Stay tuned! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
