This concept design marries both lens cap and lens hood into a single device, opened with a simple twist.
Designed for the 2011 Spark Awards, the Flower marries two things you probably already have on the front of your lens — the lens cap and the lens hood. This concept was put together by Rhie Hyi Joong & Lee Sang Hwa, and would make use of a semi-rigid material for the individual blades around the cap. A threaded ring at the base of the Flower could be twisted, opening or closing the iris as required.
