captin nod: The Phone-O-Scope: Attaching SLR lenses to an iPhone

"Just to get the inevitable question of 'why' out of the way - well, why not? As far as I can tell, I think this is the first - I couldn't find any similar SLR lens to camera phone attaching attempts anywhere else online (I'm not including the mini-lenses you can get as they're not 35mm lenses). The Phone-O-Scope doesn't take especially superb images, and it's a bit clumsy to handle. On the other hand, it's fun to shoot with and produces very analog (almost Holga-like) results. You also get the advantages of SLR lenses - that is, DOF effects, and the wide range of available focal lengths (i.e. macro to telephoto)."

I don't care about lenses; I just want some kind of gadget that will displace the source of the flash -- every modern layperson's camera has the flash right next to the lens, and that means I get red eye every time.
