Whoa ... my first post here
Being short time owner of N900 and absolutely thrilled by this black brick of geekines.

I'd love to share with you my first hw 'hack' of N900. Actually it is more add-on than hack. But hack sounds more fancy

I've been inspired by this article:
The fisheye tin cam

This is what I did to my N900:


And few example snapshots:

You can see more pics in dedicated Flickr set.

Don't expect high picture quality. But hey, it's the "cheapest fisheye ever"

Excellent!
Is that lens just the peeper from a door hole?

First, thanks admins for moving this to prorper area . As I wrote, it was my 1st post.

I'm glad you like it guys. Yeap, it's peephole viewfinder. All is described more detailed in Flickr photo comments.

I just stumbled upon this last week and decided to try it out myself.




And even a video test!

Would it be possible to use such a method, bigger lenses, to actually improve picture quality (fisheye is not of interest here) ?

My k800i does better pictures because it has bigger lenses than n900, although it is only 3,2MP.
