Every photographer, artist, musician, crafts person asks themselves, either consciously or subconsciously, “What can my tools do? What marks, or sounds, or tones can they produce; in my hands?” The iPhone camera qualifies as a photographic tool; a camera; which fits in your pocket, and includes a built in digital darkroom; as well as a publishing and distribution house. Remarkable to say the least.
Scheider Optics saw fit to provide iPhone photographers with a set of lenses which widens the optical choices and expressive possibilities of an already remarkable photographic tool. The iPhone and these add on lenses do not replace your so-called professional full frame, and/or medium format digital cameras. Though they do make for an extremely compact kit; which serves as one hell of a fine photographic, grab it, sketch book, tool.
The photographs seen below were all post processed in Lightroom on the desktop computer. The rainbow photographs simply used the camera sans auxiliary lenses. The flowers and dead bug made use of the iPro Macro Lens Series 2. Over the next few days I will put the 2x Tele and .45x Super Wide Lenses to some testing. Stay tuned.
