Product Description
Remember that very first time you went out with your shiny new SLR, determined to shoot some Pulitzer-worthy people shots? You know, real stuff. Candid shots of people just living their lives and doing real things completely unaware that they were on camera. It's hard. People have a sixth sense for knowing when someone's taking their photo. Especially so when you've got an SLR and a big lens pointed right at them.
Opteka's Super-Secret Spy Lens is the answer. It's the ultimate accessory for kids, the photo-shy, street photography or any time you want natural, unposed shots.
Meant to fit the end of your SLR's zoom lens, it has a secret cut-out on the side and a precision mirror assembly inside. In short, you can shoot left, right, up, or down (it swivels 360 degrees), all while appearing to shoot straight ahead. The result? The picture-perfect candid shots you've always dreamed of.
Mount: Fits lenses with 58mm or 52mm threaded filter rings
Construction: Optical glass, mirror, aluminum

- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2013There are a lot of irrelevant reviews of this product, the one by Betty being the only one worth reading. I bought it to use with my Panasonic GH3 and Leica 58 mm Ø lenses. it works fine, providing clear, sharp photos. As said by others, if your lens rotates with AF, this product will be hard to use effectively because it will require re-positioning. Also, if you have a electronic viewfinder like the OLED viewfinder in the GH3, the image may be impossible to focus. Not to worry! If the camera beeps saying the image is in focus, believe it--the photos will be fine. Also, the OLED monitor screen DOES render a focused image. I recommend using AF; manual focus is just too cumbersome. Finally, there's no way to cap this scope, and it does not come with a case. Being a squirrel of such things, I found a draw string lens case in my box of miscellany and it works well to protect th mirror. Admittedly, I've not yet taken serious photos with this gadget, only test pictures, so maybe I'll need later to update this review. Enjoy.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019It seems there is a difference between an optical quality mirror and a normal, cheap one. This is the cheap one and the images are seriously degraded. I have a very old 90 degree mirror attachment from my film days where the images are only slightly degraded but the problem is that it was too obtrusive. I would suggest getting the one that costs about $100 - I assume because of the quality of the mirror. At the price I bought this one for, it's too cheap to bother sending back. Shame.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2008I had this on my wish list for a while so was a little disappointed to find it worked on only 52mm and 58mm filter size and tried it on my kit lens on my Rebel XTi. It only works around 50m on a zoom lens otherwise you see the edges of it and a small circle of viewing area. I think it is meant to use on a prime lens but this makes truly clandestine shooting limited. I then got a 62-58mm step-down ring and put it on my new tamron 18-250mm lens. It rotates with the autofocus and takes a LOT of getting used to but i was able to shoot some closeups of people's faces across the room in a diner without being noticed. For the cost it is of VERY good quality but in reality, only good for specific applications where you can do a lot of planning. On the run, forget it. You have to really do a lot of adjusting and the focal length where it works is limited.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2013this is a good deal it was so fast to get and worthit monye to spend i just like it
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2014Best thing yet for those candid and/or street shots...fun to use
- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017I don't know if I'll ever "need" this product, but I'm prepared now. The mirror or reflective surface isn't as smooth as a lens you'd point directly forward, so the image isn't as clear. Good lens for the price.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015If you have a FULL FRAME SENSOR, do not buy. The vinetting is very extreme. I probably lost more money buying a retuning due to shipping. Cropped sensor is okay. Also, it's a double mirror. For closer objects, you'll see double of what should be clear. It's not for the speed photographer. It'll be easier to learn how to be very quick and sneaky with your photos rather than buy this.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2013It's a little goofy for sure, but if you want to take shots of people and you don't want them to know you are shooting them then this is a great way to go. Of course, that's really all it does and is otherwise useless.
