Make your macro pictures come true with a $3 microscope for your iPhone

**ravensgate** · 10-09-2012, 11:02 PM

I have an Olloclip for my Iphone that takes really nice macro shots. It flips around and can be wide angle, macro, or zoom. Picture of my Nerite snail (never knew they had eyes!!!) taken with my phone and an Olloclip.

Like all other snails, ramshorns have eyes as well - one at the base of each of its two tentacles:

Even staring at my ramshorns now I can't see that. LOL! My eyesight is not macro

Still nothing like those nerite eyes...looks like it has a pupil and everything. All I know is it freaked me out when I figured out what it was

LOL!

Wow! I'm sold. Somebody please post the link to where we can get it.

somewhatshocked · 10-10-2012, 02:00 AM

Amazon. iPhone macro lens. About $4-$5 shipped. (pro-tip: it'll work with more than just the iPhone)

**hedge_fund** · 10-10-2012, 02:05 AM

All the lenses on amazon seem to be for the iphone 4/4S....anybody have any links for iphone 5 lenses?

somewhatshocked · 10-10-2012, 02:07 AM

The lens kit will work on nearly any mobile phone.
