G+_Michael Sirianni Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone using this camera gadget for iPhone5? Any review guys? http://www.olloclip.com/product/# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christopher Weeks Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have it, use it regularly, and it's very nice. Only main issue I have is that I have to take off my protective case for the phone to use it. That is a small price to pay for the added functionality it adds though.

G+_Amir Asias Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Christopher John Thanks. I thought about the case issue. How compact is for fast use on travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William Sellers Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I had the Olloclip for my iPhone 4S -- I'm gonna be picking the new iPhone5 compatible model ASAP. I loved it with my 4S... Agreed Christopher John --- It is a pain to remove the phone from the case to use -- however, being able to take wide photos (or fisheye) is really nice. Actually with the iPhone 5 -- I'm using my DSLR less and less. I also recommend taking a look at Lisa Bettany 's Camera+ app. :) Cheers, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Karlo Dunatov Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That's ridiculous, the camera on my OneX never gets used. The only camera I shoot with is my Sony NEX-5 with an Alpha lens adapter and my numerous lenses. I don't care what anyone has to say a cellphone camera is just not useful when you're out and about taking vacation shots or at a sporting event. I cringe when I see people with their smartphones taking pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Amir Asias Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Karlo Dunatov I am using NEX-3, and you are right nothing compare to this but i am not carrying it every day or all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William Sellers Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 For sporting events and places where I am needing to do a lot of zooming, I'll bring my Nikon D700 with 270mm zoom lens... ;) OR, my 30mm f1.4. However, lugging that thing around (with batteries, and misc equipment) gets heavy after a while. I remember when I was back in high school --- lugging around my Nikon N2000 film camera with loads of lenses, filters, etc, etc--- can we say backache?!?! :) It's such a joy to take my iPhone 5 (or whatever good mobile phone you have) --- and just enjoy the act of taking photos--- not having to worry about lugging all that gear. I've taken some pics around San Fran, Austin, New Orleans with JUST my iPhone4S/5. Maybe a little extra post-processing --- but I've had photos suitable for framing. :) My philosophy is---- it's NOT the gear--- it's the subject matter. :) Always having my phone/camera with me is really nice. Respectfully, this is just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
