Gizmon Wide & Macro iPhone conversion lens review

Like many others, I love using the camera on my iPhone. I recently came across a blog called Art&Mobile that mentioned a interesting auxiliary lens attachment for the iPhone 3G and 3GS made in Japan by "Gizmon." With a name like that I knew it had to be good... so I ordered one. To my surprise it arrived very quickly, airmailed from Japan. The stick-on magnetic mount was easy to install, I just had to cut a hole in my rubber case so it would fit. It is actually 2 lenses together which make the wide angle, with just the first lens it is a macro. The wide is soft in the corners, which is fine with me, and the macro is really amazing! I now carry it with me everywhere I go. See sample photos below....


Linkage- Gizmon Shop and the Gizmon English Page for ordering.
