the word, "absurd" comes to mind.

 

[hexiplex]

Absurd indeed, but why not? I could see myself shooting with the iPhone and my CV21 if there was an appropriate adapter and if I got the accessory for the iPhone cheaply.

 

[finguanzo]

Wow.. just wow.

cool ...... or not? more nerdy gadgetry, I've got enough as it is.
I followed the link, i Love the close up picture of the french fries ........
i mean, so I'm going to go to all this effin trouble to have an iPhone,
with a tele zoom, and adaptors. AND THEN: I'm gonna take close up
pictures of french fries!

The nerds just love coming up with stuff....they would probably call it fun. I get a good kick out of this type of stuff....

Well, it's got the NEX beat on body size... 😀

and it's got a tripod mount...there goes some RFFer's signature about not using their cell phone as a camera.

I don't see how attaching a SLR lens turns the iPhone into a Reflex camera, as much as a Schneider XL would make it an 8x10.
Although I have taped my phone camera to my SLR's viewfinder to make videos through my fisheye!

Just add the handset and it would be quite a package.

Ever since the iPhone camera was invented, it's aspired to be what it simply never quite could be: a DSLR.

Lost me at the first stupid sentence!

Maybe with a rangefnder app you can fit a Noctilux to it?

 

[AJShepherd]

What was that old adage again? Something about fools and their money being soon parted?

For the price of this ridiculous trinket you could probably pick up a halfway decent second hand DSLR, which would give you much better images, and that's before we get to whatever the insane crop factor is when using SLR lenses with the tiny sensor of an iPhone!

I lol'd.

For those writing off iPhones as photographic/filmic tools, Park Chan Wook (Oldbody, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance) recently shot a film entirely on the iPhone. From what I could see of the behind the scenes, they had Canon primes stuck on it, and it looked pretty good.

"giving your phone powerful depth of field "
what is a powerful DoF???

 

[roadmouse]

Interesting.
So if I attach my 200mm lens, I would get the 1528mm equivalent compared to 35mm.

Would camera shake be a problem you think?

I heard there's an image stabilizer app... 😉

These things were popular among aspiring movie makers until DSLR's at last got the video recording. Better ones had the ground glass in the form of a spinning disc, this rendered the grain and dust on it invisible.

Interesting: in a way it turns your iphone into a view camera, since the image on the screen will be rotated upside down.
