If you saw it on the internet, then it has to be true!

Yes it's true! You can see in the sample photo taken under very bright light, not very long telephoto about 5x and the image of the lion is not sharp even at very small size.

There are all kinds of "miracle" smartphone lenses flooding the market.

You can use it to take amazing pictures of the bridge that I will sell you!

I got a set of similar at Michaels with a fish eye, wide angle and macro for $11.00. I knew they were junk before I bought them and of course they are. I got $11.00 dollars worth of fun just goofing around and emailing fun shots to my kids the first day I had them. If your just screwing around they're fun. Don't know what this tele one costs but for goofing off if cheap enough, why not.

DSLR = 35mm sensor; phone = 1/3" sensor. Juuuust a little bit wider.

Well, it will certainly have a large market.

I have two toll bridges at the seaport in Phoenix, $10000 each. Send me your credit card number, CID and expiration date (plus name, address, birth date and SSN) and I'll send you the deeds and instructions as to where to go.

AND, I'll throw in one of these miracle lenses free......

Did anyone notice that the lion never moved a muscle between the cellphone shot, the mounting of the "HyperZoom" on the cellphone, and then the picture using the "HyperZoom"? Amazing that they got that lion to stand still that long!

Too good to be true, seriously, I have a Canon 500mm and even with extenders it would not do what they are claiming that lens with a cell phone would do, I say it is just a marketing ploy.
