For those who want to make their little iPhone camera zoom a bit better and don't mind turning your iPhone into a Goth appendage, you may want to take a gander at this import from Japan:

There are a few lens sizes to choose from.  With some skillz, you could even make a music video.

Awesome!
Looks like those old eastern european cameras & lenses from the 50's...
You know, Carl Zeiss, Shneider Kreuznach etc...

That looks weird and freaky. Metal will always scratch the back of a naked iPhone. I'd rather carry a real camera than trying my luck with this thing.

How is this awesome? How about a decent camera built in so you don't have to look like a reporter from 1956. It should come with a fedora with an index card that says PRESS

This looks ridiculously expensive, to boot. Probably more than just buying a very good camera.

According to the website it's 19,600 yen (a little over $200). Rather pricey for an accessory you'll likely never actually use.
