[Q] Additional converter camera lens?

Folks,
This is my first thread
So i read the similar threads and can't find the exact question with me. I'm wondering specially those who like using this S2 for photography, is there any additional converter lens (macro,tele,wide) just like the iphone had?
Try to search on ebay there's no a single site came up. Since this S2 camera lens is square
Thanks

There are a few things in settings like Macro focus, Panoramic, Action, but I haven't seen any specific apps yet.

Killall,
I mean the additional lens not the application or setting

Hey,
Few questions:
1. Is the ring on the phone not covering the flash?
2. Is the ring removable again? (and of course reattachable)
Thanks!

Nah the ring don't cover the flash, when you use the lens, the lens will cover the flash a like.
The lens came with 2 ring, you might be able to reapply it if the glue didn't wear off when you remove it.

Must've misunderstood then Thanks that's great, Will be buying one soon then I think

Just bought a fisheye one Will try it out when it comes then maybe get the macro/wideangle

Heres the metal ring, it doesnt affect the flash if you use it without the lens.
Here the full lens which make it the wide angle one, flash wont work with it.
Here half of the lens which make it the macro one, still no flash, you need a good light source.

{Review/Pics/Unboxing} Phone fisheye lense, Works with any phone!

Hey so I got this today, And seeing as it works on pretty much all phones I decided to post here, In the first post I will have pictures of it / boxing, and in the second pictures taken with it,
It comes with 2 metal rings which are sticky on the back, these can attach to most phones camera's, The lens will magnetically attach to the ring, it's a strong hold but dont go shaking it around, Mine fell of onto concrete earlier, not much damage done but I tiny chip, Unnoticeable on the camera however so that's good One of the rings has a small indent on the side, this is for the Flash on an iPhone 4 so that the ring doesn't cover it, If anyone wants pics of it on an iphone 4 just ask, I have one on the iPhone and one on my SGSII, Now pics! (Also available are A macro/wide angle lens whcih will fit on the same ring, But fisheye is more fun , Just search ebay for Phone lens)
Many of these pics are self explanatory so there won't be too much text

Thanks for reading

Now for pics with it
I may add more, Or maybe make a thread for people to show off theirs Either way..
(Me, It was early ish, I will try get a better picture of it on)
(A bit blurry)
(If you know what this show is, I'd like to say I don't watch it, It was on and I was too lazy to show, But as you can see it makes TV's look awesome )
And this is it for now, I'd like to mention as well, the image quality is actually very good on all of these but they may not look as good due to a resize from several thousand pixels in width to 500, also they have been re-saved as a jpeg, If there are any you would like full size (For any reason.. lol) PM me or post in this thread, Now due to Milads request I'll take some of the phone with it on.
Thanks for reading

The metal ring has a sticky back, Put that around the camera, that will stay there, but is removable, after that the lens will snap on to it (Lens is magnetic )

There will be some soon Resizing now

Added, Just noticed many of them are Dull, Will go take some flower pictures or skateboard stuff in a while

I will remove these ones tomorow and do it in a better location, but these 2 are taken in the exact same position, No zoom tricks or anything, just one with the lens one without, as you can see, makes a huge difference

Does the macro lens work ok for shooting vids ?

I have to check this out.

Man these images look great! I need one of it
Btw: Nice living room.

These inexpensive conversion lenses work much better than I expected . I am also using wide angle (not quite fisheye ) on a indoor IP camera ,

Photojojo lens attachments

I received my Photojojo lens set this past Friday and I've been snapping away ever since. I love the wide-angle and fisheye lenses. The macro is sweet but it only works REALLY close to an object. I haven't found a chance to use the telephoto lens just yet.
The metal ring that attaches to the camera body fits just fine in my Qubits snap-on case (though I did mount it slightly off center). The fisheye lens is a little bulky and doesn't exactly fit (centered) with the case on, which you can see in the some of the pics. I've ordered a TPU bumper and I'll remount the magnetic ring on the camera body. That should help get better centered images with the fisheye.
Hope this helps anyone considering the Photojojo lenses.

Wow that so cool. Good to see us Android users getting cool things like this like iPhone usually get. What did it cost? I might pick one up!

Yup, I know what you mean! The only iPhone envy I've ever had was due to their accessory selection.
It was $58 shipped to me in CA.

i had something like this on my evo, except i bought them for $5 on one of those direct from hong kong sites

can you post some pictures of where you mounted the metal rings, i wonder if it will mount find on the nexus itself.

I actually purchased the macro, wide/fisheye, and telephoto versions from Photojojo (link) back when I had my Droid X. The metal rings didn't fit on my Droid X fantastically, but they worked. The rings, however, fit like they were made for the Galaxy Nexus. The ring fits around the camera, without any overhand onto the back plate. (The previous post with images somewhat demonstrates this fact.)
Photojojo has the kit for about $50. For individual lenses, it's probably cheaper to go to a Direct-from-China place. DealExtreme even has some in blue and red versions.

Thanks for the pictures! does the metal ring stay on fine? i heard that it tends to fall off when pulling the lens off.

I've been switching lenses often and the metal ring hasn't budged one bit. It seems to be stuck on there real good.

Interesting! May have to buy a set. You can still remove the battery cover without touching the metal ring?

i put in my order earlier today, i should receive it on friday/sat im looking forward to it! i wish that they threw in like a cheap lanyard to put the lenses on when you buy the set. but its okay!

Sure can. I was concerned about that too but there's just enough room to take it off without touching.

Go to page 1 near the bottom. The adhesive side of the ring stays on pretty well

With the adhesive side touching the phone, what is the other side? I'd be worried about not having a lens attached and it sticking to my pockets and attracting dirt.

Detachable fisheye, wide, and macro lens

Hey guys! I just got the S3 yesterday coming from the vibrant and wanted to show how the lens work on our phones. I previously had them for my vibrant and wanted to try it out on the S3. Was a little concerned because the back cut out for the camera is a little raised instead of it being flat like the vibrant. The reason for this is because you put a metal ring with adhesive on one side to stick on the phone then attach the magnetic lens which will snap on easily. Later on I decided to remove it and would put it on a case instead which will have a flat back. The adhesive is pretty strong and won't leave any residue on your phone.
Here is the link where I bought it from. You can also check out eBay where they sell them for cheaper (barely found out after purchasing from amazon)

Wide and macro
Fisheye
UPDATE
The bench shots are all from the same distance. This is a normal shot without the lens.
Fisheye 8MP
Fisheye 6MP
I usually crop them because I don't like the vignetting. These are the 6MP because it's wider and easier to crop.
Wide 8MP
Wide 6MP (didn't realise the vignetting on the right corners, I didn't align it right. Hopefully when I get my case it will be a lot better)
Normal shot
GS3's macro (this is the closest that I can go to have a focused shot)
Macro lens
Macro fly!
I will attach better fisheye shots that are cropped and better looking. And also I am uploading the videos so they will be up soon.
here is my Instagram if anyone is interested. There are a lot more there so check them out!

hmm I don't think so I still have it on my vibrant and its been about a year already. I've heard some people using super glue to stick it permanently on their phone cases because the rings they would receive wouldn't last long. It really depends I guess what type of adhesive they use and which set of lens you buy from.

Yea was worried about that too, but the negatives were mostly from iPhone users haha so I don't know what the problem is and I'm satisfied with mine. I'll probably post a video too with all 3 lens if people are interested.

I can see how having the wide angle could be really helpful for concerts or other places I hate bring my DSLR into....please post sample pics/videos when you can...

yeah, majority of negative comments were iP4 users complaining that it blocks out their flash. Shouldn't be a problem at all for GSIII owners since the Lance and flash is more space out.
I'm curious to see some sample photos myself.

Im really interested in this. I see someone had something similar to this for iP4. Please post some photos. I am a Instagram junkie LOL

I like the macro shots. did you have to crop any of those?
I don't like the fish eye as you have to deal with cropping the vignette effect the lens gives. I don't like editing my pics at all. Good shots nonetheless and I'm still debating on getting this. I'm going to hunt and see if I find something better.

they indeed look good

For the macro I didn't have to crop. I think you can get them individually on eBay instead of the 3 for 1 pack if you just want one lens.

Difference in 13MP camera and "Selfie" Camera

I don't know if this issue has been brought up yet or not, but I have an odd bug. When using the 13MP shooter, the picture looks extremely grainy and the blacks are more like grays. The line of trees around our house don't look black, they look an ashy smoke grey. And the grainy-ness is so bad it almost looks distorted at certain points that my son was walking around.
And yet when taking "selfies" the front camera produces crystal clear, beautiful pictures. It seems like it should be the other way around.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if I need to return this to TMO and get a replacement?

When I broke the camera lens cover on my G2, I installed a replacement. After installing the replacement my pictures were like the one posted here.
Upon closer inspection I noticed a plastic removable film on the lens cover. When I took it off the pictures were great..
Check and make sure you don't have a protective plastic film left on your lens cover.

Good suggestion, but there is no plastic film covering the camera. I'm fairly certain if I take it into TMO they will just exchange it. Might just go for that and see if it helps.
