Thanks for the idea, a mirror can be useful for other hings too… I know a wildlifephotographer who uses mirrors to make it look like trolls eyes looking out form the forest ;)

Interesting idea. You might be able to get rid of the first con, by carrying around a small mirror – and then you can take a pic of the lens’ reflection (a ‘lens self-portrait’).

Canons because most anything can be mounted on them (except for Canon FD) ;) Pentax could be nice, but I need a C/Y-adapter. Olympus sounds nice but have cropfactor 2.

Question is, why do people keep using Canon EOS or Nikons? :p

Good idea, but with Pentax and Samsung dslr’s what I do is set the image stabilization manually with the focal length of each lens e.g 15mm for the 16mm Zenitar and 43mm for the VarioZenitar 25-45mm zoom, and its imprinted on the Exif information. Only problem is when you use 6 different 50mm lenses! I think your idea would work well then alright.
