iPhone Camera Hack - Salvaging External Lenses From A 35mm Camera

After trying out the DVD/CD lens hack and the mini microscope hack, I was wandering around a thrift store and saw a basket full of $2-3 dollar 35mm cameras. I decided to buy one and see what kind of lenses I could find inside. I hit the jackpot and created a strip with 4 different lenses and also added the dvd/cd lense for easy use. The main lense in the camera also makes for some great pictures and the whole project was incredibly cheap, although it took about 1 hours to complete. Micro, Macro and Fish Eye lenses!

ever heard of jelly lenses?

@Igelishus Yes I've heard of them. I tried out one but it wasn't really that great, not bad for the price though. Mostly I just like taking things apart and re-purposing what I can. I find it fun.
