Wow. My pal Scott gave me this Easy Macro doodad for my phone, and I'm blown away by the images I'm getting with it. The Easy Macro is basically a rubber band with a tiny lens attached to it, that you position in front of your phone's camera. It allows you to get close to stuff ? waaay close. The resulting images are really impressively sharp, as long as you're within the proper focusing distance. The cheapness and curvature of the lens also combine to give the resulting image a nice blurred vignette around the edges. I know it's only a matter if time before this rubber band thing comes apart, but in the meantime I'm going to have fun shooting with this thing.
