Title: Should you get extra lenses for your iPhone? Post by: HCK on May 05, 2014, 02:00:18 pm Should you get extra lenses for your iPhone?
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Smartphone cameras have changed the camera market radically in the last five years or so. An Apple ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoVW62mwSQQ) from about a year back asserts that “every day, more photos are taken with the iPhone than any other camera”; the culmination of this trend (http://allthingsd.com/20130227/smartphones-and-the-collapse-of-the-point-and-shoot-camera), according to numerous analysts, will be the complete “collapse of the point-and-shoot camera.”</p><p> Count me in. The iPhone is now the only camera I use. That said, while I remain overall satisfied with this decision, I do miss some of the features of my old stand-alone camera—in particular, I miss having a zoom lens. Yes, the iPhone has a digital zoom, but this is more digital trickery than a true zoom capability; it’s really not much different from cropping a photo. What I want is an optical zoom, but the holy grail of my search—a small but high-quality zoom lens for the iPhone—sadly does not exist.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2150160/should-you-get-extra-lenses-for-your-iphone.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Should you get extra lenses for your iPhone?
