This bad boy will cost you $250. It comes with three different lenses.
“three optical-quality coated glass lenses: Wide Angle, Fisheye, and Telephoto. All wrapped up in a slim aircraft-grade aluminum jacket equipped with two tripod mounts (for portrait or landscape shots).”
Clever.

I like this app a lot.

The walkway is pretty covered
It started getting a bit foggy
I managed to get the train home
And I reckon this sign was a little redundant
Not content with the Flight of the Conchords style camera phone depicted in this shirt design, a cool engineering type has figured out how to fix an SLR lens to his iPhone. Awesome right?
Here’s the type of photo it produces…
The Phone-O-Scope produces fuzzy, Holga-like images. I think a lot of the image artifacts (strong chromatic aberration, bizarro lens distortion) are down to the extreme magnifier stack. However, I’ve tested it with a few Canon EF lenses now and it does seem to work reasonably well with every one. At the very least, it seems to work like a telescope for the iPhone, and it is fun to shoot with (not to mention the odd looks I get when I’m using it :)

BoingBoing has a series of tips from a Japanese pro photographer who takes amazing iPhone pictures in his spare time.
“Always be on the lookout for change, whether that’s lighting, or the movement of people, or just a slight difference in something ordinary.”
“Walk a lot. The iPhone camera has a fixed focal length. Whether you enliven or kill this feature is up to your footwork. If you need a close up, get real close. If you need distance, you exaggerate that distance. You use your feet to find angles. It’s also important to venture far away from your comfort zone to find good subjects to shoot.”
