iPhone camera lens dial case


the 'iPhone lens dial' contains three lenses to add objective power to the iPhone's built-in camera


the 'iPhone lens dial' by US-based photography aficionados and camera accessory suppliers photojojo
is a phone case featuring three optical-quality lenses to improve the shooting capacity of an iPhone 4 or 4s.

the device features a 0.7x wide angle lens, 1.5x telephoto zoom, and 0.33x fisheye accessory.
users can switch across lenses by simply rotating the dial. the case itself is composed of aluminum,
with two standard horseshoe tripod mounts to facilitate both portrait and landscape photography.

the 'iPhone lens dial' costs 250 USD.

awesome idea! but why do the nice gadgets always have to be so expensive? :(

Nice! but with such a bulky add on; wouldn't it be simpler (and cheaper) to buy a camera?
Mr. Obvious   11.23.11
Great idea, but ... does away with the 'camera in my pocket' answer to instant shots.

How would Apple design this?
liz   11.24.11
the original phone is not so small,nor the extra lenses too thick, they'd add it a little thickness to phone body and implement a internal ring with the lenses: that would just cost one extra bucks,and yet images will never emulate 100% a real DSLR, or a film camera.but yes, does the trick
