Lenses for phone camera? (1 Viewer)

[Cinderz]

Has anyone tried using different lenses on their phone? I didn't realise they existed. I do realise they will not be as good as using a camera with different lenses but curious and looking for anyone's views before I shell out £8 to see.

e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...ra+lenses&rh=i:aps,k:+galaxy+S2+camera+lenses

Never knew they made them.. but frankly I wouldn't waste my money...

bit of a gimmick if you ask me.. but am happy to be corrected... your choice.. we await your review ..

After that, why not buy a mouthpiece and loudspeaker for your camera?

Use an app instead?

I use iPhone and don't know if other systems carry these two apps, but 6 x 6 makes the phone behave a bit like a hasselblad. Hipstamatic has a whole bunch of virtual lenses, even in the basic kit. I find them quite fun.

this may sound strange, but if i want to take a half decent picture i use a ........CAMERA!!!

As far as i know there are no camera manufacturers who incorperate a phone in their cameras.....i wonder why oh:

I bought mine from e-bay for iphone 4s. It cost £9 including postage. for that I got the tele photo lens, small tripod and the extra backing plate for the phone and whats more it works a treat.

Camera can already make more than enough noise.

Thanks Jim et Lou. I thought it could be a bit of fun, I will give it a go and post results at a later date. I will also use my camera for taking photos but gadgetty, gimicky yes I'll give it a go.

I use my polarised sunglasses held with one glass over the lens - gets some pretty spectacular images:thumb:
