Adapter Enables You To Use Any DSLR Lens With Your iPhone



Just before I wrote this article about this iPhone DSLR lens adapter I have to admit I did need to check if it was indeed April 1st, as it does seem to good to be true. However a new adapter is currently on sale at the Photojojo website which enables you to use any DSLR lens from either Nikon or Canon with your iPhone.

The new adapter allows any DSLR lens to be attached to your iPhone, whether it be a Telephoto, wide angle, macro, or your fixed fifty lenses and then enables you custom control over the depth of field and manual focus.

The iPhone DSLR lens adapter even comes with two loopholes on each end of the case let you tie on a camera strap, so you can hang it around your neck just like your real DSLR.
