An odd little gadget from Loreo, the ‘3D Lens in a Cap‘ is a wide 2-element lens with a twin blade diaphragm, designed to turn your traditional Canon camera into a stereo-3d shooting machine.  However, it looks like it’s based on some somewhat older technology.

The aperture can be opened up to a maximum value of F11, meaning your light intake will be, erm… frugal, while the minimum focusing range is a distant 1.5 meters away from the sensor. Still, it’ll get you two perfectly paired snaps and the Canon EOS mount version can be had now for $166. What are you waiting for — the future's just a few clicks away.

Available for $165 at Amazon it seems.
