anneabc, your URL took my Mac Safari browser to a "page that can't be opened." That fumble is reason enough, frankly (and I am not scolding you, honestly,) for your initial post to explicitly NAME the equipment you're wondering about rather than just relying on people to check the link. By 'NAME', I'm referring to the product brand and category, despite part of that information being listed in the URL itself. :(

The web page says the lenses are: fisheye, macro, and wide angle- no telephoto. Pay close attention to how they attach and whether they fit lots of phones or just one. The price seems out of line compared to other brands. When I had iPhone 4 I got the Olloclip which clamped on the bare phone - had to fuss the phone out of the case to use the lens. Then went to iPhone 5 and lenses didn't fit anymore. If you don't mind bulk, Sony has a QX-10 that is a real lens and clamps onto the phone - it uses the phone as a viewing and storage device - it takes a micro SD card. ato facilitate, Sony provides a free PlayMemories app for devices.

Sorry about that link that didn't work. They are HDFX360 lenses. It says they fit all types of cell phones. It includes macro, fish eye and wide angle. Thanks

S'okay. I wonder whether others had difficulty getting your link to work.

John F, how about it? Did you have no difficulty with her link? If so, did you first modify it? If not, is your computer PC or Mac and what browser did you employ? Others?

Thanks,

Lev the first try got me to the webbpage, but subsequent tries failed as my browser could not establish a secure server connection. Done from iPad Air 2 and browser is Safari. The yes, no deal suggests its a server snit.

Went to HDFX via google and noted that the lenses must go on a bare phone unless one dresses their in a gossamer thin case on the phone lens side. That's a deal breaker for me, beyond no telephoto.

Thanks. I just tried it again: no joy. I'm signing off of this post. :D 8-)

I saw the same type on Amazon. They were the deal of the day on 4/21 for 10.99 USD. Now they're 14.99. I should have my set tomorrow, and I'll take a few snapshots for you.

I have seen several ads for add-on lenses or adaptors for cellphones. They all say that they will make your cellphone work like a dslr. Unfortunately, the physics says they don't do that. Maybe they can make use of your long lens but they can't compensate for the small sensor, or the other built-in limitations.

They may be able to add some facility, but the advantage of the cellphone "camera" is its ubiquity. It is always there with you. But it can't compete for image quality with even a 4/3 sensor, let alone an aps-c or FF. And if I'm going to carry a 200mm Nikon, Sony or Canon lens, I may as well carry my camera body and get the advantages available.

But when they claim the parallel with a real camera, they are deluded and deluding the public. Of course there is no law that they can't lie to the public. Advertisers do it all the time.
