    Picture Perfect? iPhone Gets Camera Lenses


    Factron iPhone Case with Removable Lenses


    So, I'm not sure I understand the total need for all of this. Factron out of Japan has created a case for the Apple iPhone SP that will allow users to attach several camera lenses to work with the built-in camera. According to the roughly translated website, they are working on modifications to make it compatible with the new 3GS. Apparently the resolution and performance upgrade wasn't enough. The lenses are called the Quattro and the package comes with a fisheye converter (185° and 170°), a super wide conversion lense (120°), and a close up lenses with a focal length of 25mm and 40mm. The lenses alone will range from about $11 - $50 dollars or so. The case to attach it to however is about $160. In my opinion, if you want to do all of that with your pictures, just go buy a real camera.

    I agree. Just buy a real camera. Though people like their single function, "do everything plus the laundry" gadgets. And clearly the iPhone faithful are happy to oblige.
