Cellphone macro shots

[SirKristoff]

So, with having my new iPhone 4S I came across a pretty nifty accessory called the Ōlloclip, which is a snap over mount that does macro, wide angle, and fisheye shots... The back of the box shows a photo of a D. capensis leaf for the macro sample... Great it shows carnivorous plants on the box, now I have to buy it... And I am sooooo glad I did, for a phone camera attachment just wow...

Surprisingly good macros for a cell phone. Was it expensive? I also want to ask about the second to last shot - Drosera villosa, maybe?

 

[SirKristoff]

Mickey - unfortunately no, it is only made for the iPhone 4/4S

Bluemax - no not too expensive, not compared to DSLR lenses... 69.99USD
The dew is a young D. ascendens.

Great from a phone camera.. makes the quality of my phone pics look like it's got a Kodak Brownie strapped to it !!

Nice shots.

There are lots of lenses that can be added to cell phones and such. I use attachable lenses on my Kodak Playsport zx5.
I paid around $8.00 a lens and have the .67 wide - macro combo / 2x telephoto / 8x telephoto (Not impressed. I knew quality would go way down with this lens) and have on order but have not received yet the 180 degree fish eye.

Here's a video I made using the macro lens on the Playsport zx5.

I think I used the macro lens for this video. Not positive.

Taken with my n900 (a 2009 phone) no additional lens attachment, no "tripod":
