Immediately following my post about the iPhone macro lens my site nearly “went down” because of using up too much bandwidth. Shortly after that people were wondering why I hadn’t created a video demonstration of how it works.
Well, here it is.
Sorry for the quality of the video, it could have been better, but I wanted to do it quickly and so I used an old iSight I had laying around, sort of propped it up on my coin collector thingy, and, well, here is the result.
I’m still anxious to create a wide-angle lens for the iPhone, I just haven’t found the right materials for doing so. I’ve toyed with a few things that I have laying around, and even rummaged through my brother-in-law’s basement to see if I could find something there. So far, no dice. If anyone has any suggestions, or knows of something someone else created, please share a link to that in the comments.

You should totally make this a product on the consumer market. If I had an iPhone I would buy it.
Dude you should make this a little more pro-looking and patent it! I bet some people would be interested
if you have an old loupe laying around, that works well too.
