Phone-O-Scope allows iPhone to attach SLR lens

A camera hacker named Bhautik Joshi has created an optical adapter called the Phone-o-Scope to attach a SLR lenses to the 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. 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). “

One more shot after the jump.
