USB Fever creates interesting iPhone camera lenses

USB Fever iPhone Lenses

Most people are aware that the 2MP camera on the iPhone isn’t the best at taking photos, especially if there is a lot of movement or the area is dark. However, if you hold it still enough in the right light, the photos can actually be quite clear for a camera on a phone. One of the bad things about the camera, however, is the extremely limited functionality it has. For example, Apple doesn’t allow you to zoom, take video, or do almost anything. That’s where USB Fever steps in with their iPhone lenses. These products may not be the greatest around, but they do offer some pretty interesting functionality.

USB Fever is offering three detachable lenses for your iPhone that connect magnetically after you add an adhesive metal ring around your iPhone camera. The frame of these lenses is made of “top-grade Aluminuim” while the glass is “high-class.” The first lens cost $19.99 and brings the fish-eye style to the iPhone. This 170 degree lens weighs only 10.8 grams and can give your camera a nice new effect. The next lens is the wide angle lens which costs only $16.99. This product will do just what it implies, give your images a wide angle. The last lens is also $16.99 and is being called the telephoto 2X zoom lens (it’s fairly obvious what this one does). For such a cheap price, they might be worth checking out. What do you think?

    Very cool and handy toy for the i-phone, and the price seems fair. Hope that the nightlens follows soon.
