Photojojo Cell Phone Lenses – A comparison of the Fisheye, Macro and Wide

Recently, I purchased a set of camera phone lenses from Photojojo that fit onto most phone cameras.  The set includes a Fisheye, Macro and Wide-angle lenses for $40.

Pros:

  • Great photos from your phone
  • These are small enough to fit in your pocket with your phone and come with covers for both sides of the lens.
  • Quickly attach over your lens with the magnetic base on the lenses
  • Magnetic lens covers with lanyard so you can safely keep these secure with your keys, bag or in your purse, etc..

Cons:

  • Hard to hold since so small.
  • If you arent using the included magnetic ring mounts on your camera, have to hold steady so the lenses dont fall off when you move the camera around quickly.
  • Have to remove the lens each time from your camera when putting back in your pocket.
  • Taking photos with your phone is not as inconspicuous with these attached.
  • Fisheye lens has a bit of distortion at the edges with causes you to capture the inside of the lens

See for yourself below in a comparison of images with these lenses and the basic phone camera lens and look for more of these incorporated into Is This Houston?

…is that it?  Where is Mandarin, Arabic and Hindi, the other most widely spoken languages along with English and Spanish.  Hopefully my vote for Bill White for Governor will correct this.

BE A MAN and vote.
