I’ve always wanted to get a macro lens for my iPhone, even more so now that my Canon is dead. I saw an Instructable where someone made one out of a jewelers loupe, but I filed it away because I assumed that loupes were kind of expensive and at that point I might as well just buy a specific lens.

WELL I was at Harbor Freight Tools and found one for $1.99. BOOM.

Here are the first experiments I did tonight with the junk of my coffee table… unfortunately in the ugly incandescent light of my living room.

I’m trying to figure out a better way to mount it to the case, so I’ll definitely let you know when I do it.
