Cellphone macro shots

So, with having my new iPhone 4S I came across a pretty nifty accessory called the Ōlloclip, which is a snap over mount that does macro, wide angle, and fisheye shots... The back of the box shows a photo of a D. capensis leaf for the macro sample... Great it shows carnivorous plants on the box, now I have to buy it... And I am sooooo glad I did, for a phone camera attachment just wow...

does it come for digtal cameras (not dslrs)
 
Surprisingly good macros for a cell phone. Was it expensive? I also want to ask about the second to last shot - Drosera villosa, maybe?
 
Mickey - unfortunately no, it is only made for the iPhone 4/4S

Bluemax - no not too expensive, not compared to DSLR lenses... 69.99USD
The dew is a young D. ascendens.
 
not too shabby..
 
Great from a phone camera.. makes the quality of my phone pics look like it's got a Kodak Brownie strapped to it !!
 
Nice shots.

There are lots of lenses that can be added to cell phones and such. I use attachable lenses on my Kodak Playsport zx5.
I paid around $8.00 a lens and have the .67 wide - macro combo / 2x telephoto / 8x telephoto (Not impressed. I knew quality would go way down with this lens) and have on order but have not received yet the 180 degree fish eye.

Here's a video I made using the macro lens on the Playsport zx5.

I think I used the macro lens for this video. Not positive.
