Cheap Macro Lens for Iphone users

[Clayalaleona]

I bought this on ebay when it was $10 shipped
Red 3 in 1 180 Fish Eye Lens Wide Angle Lens Macro Lens Kit for Apple iPhone 5 | eBaynscrew the wide angle lens and you have a macro.
Please note: this is just a cheap alternative for iphone users that want to get some close up shots AND the subject MUST be very close(less than an inch away) so that you get good pictures. That being said here are some samples of the pictures I've gotten (unedited just point and shoot pictures) by no means will you get the same quality as you would from a $300 macro out of this but it will give you the ability to get some decent close ups

Were you using the wide angle? I love using the fisheye lol

 

[Eckolancer]

I think it was the fisheye except on the fish pic I used wide angle. These were all taken with an iphone 4 just bought the iphone 5 and will try it out later when I have time.

They sould come out a little bettter on the iphone 5 if only because the camera is a little bit better

Ya my buddy came by with one of those. Was pretty cool and took a lot of good pics.

Is it worth the whopping $10? I have the iPhone 4 and was just checking these bad boys out! The name brand ones can't be that much better can they? 10-70 is a large price difference for a giant contact lens lol. And do they work with the case? I have a heavy duty otter box on mine. Would hate to have to remove it after all this time lol.

You'll find them for less on amazon, that's where several of us picked ours up plus a telescope attachment. 5 pieces for $4 plus $3 shipping. Allows you to take great close ups and tank shots both close up and far away.

Ive bought two separate clip on lens for the iphone 5 and I hate both of them...the fact that you have to move every single frag you want to take a pic of right up against the glass is retarded to me...wish they would make a lens that could magnify while zooming in and staying clear..but i suppose that what you get when ur buying lens for a camera.

That's why I bought a T3i Rebel but its nice when I only have my phone out and about.

I guess I see your point
