I bought a telephoto lens for my cell phone, it's going to take some time to figure this out.....

Very cool Johny, er I mean HD...   lol  So how much did that cost.  I took a pic of a male pine grosbeak at our feeder the other day but is pretty blurry when zoomed in.  May have to get one.

It was only 19.... bucks delivered from Amazon, figured it was worth a try.....(12.99 + 6.13 for shipping)

If it works...it works....

something to mess around with......

So it's set at 12x? Looks "zoomable' in the pics... :scratch: It got good reviews..

Yup, Rebs... it got a 5 star review....

It is a little touchy getting it clipped on the phone to work....has a hard time with a case being on the phone.

Like I said, it was cheap, and something to try out. I just got it today, and have been messing around with it.

The wife bought a arm for her car to hold her cell phone while driving.... I tried it out to stabilize the zoom lens on my phone.... it works pretty well!

Stability is key with this lens! A high end camera would be great, but I'm poor.... :rotflmao:
