cheap stick-on close-up lens for camera phones

Post by SpitfireTriple »

Has anyone tried one of these?

Of course, it isn't going to deliver the results of a "proper" camera with a proper close-up leans. But could it be any good for those of us who own only camera phones? Could it be used with compact cameras?

Looks like a fun couple of addons - think I'd go for both! But I guess I'd emphasise "fun" as I think that's really all they'd be capable of capturing

Here's a shot of my well-shot Mr Squeak taken with a mobile phone (SE k750i) - you can see the distortion upper left corner, so addons would distort even more

Should work with any camera that the magnetic ring'll fit - not sure how autofocus/stabilising would be (on compacts or phone cameras)
