Lenses for iPhone, what do you think? Are there any lenses that are worth the trouble to use?

What lense(s) do you like and did it do what you expected? Seeing examples of images while shopping for some and I was not impresses. Maybe I'm expecting to much.

Huntington Beach Drum Circle by earl.dieta, on Flickrthe wide-angle IIRC gives you a 21-24mm equivalent focal length alas, I gave mine to my sister, the only cons I had with these accessories is that you can easily lose them, also the fact that I have to remove my camera case to use them is kind of annoying. earldieta.com

Dec 12, 2014 12:32 | #10 I have the olloclip too, fun accessory but not essential. Two downsides to it: I have to take the phone out of it's case to use the lens, and even worse, I have to have the lens with me, LOL. it's usually in my camera bag and if I have that with me, I might as well use the big camera. 40D, 5D3, a bunch of lenses and other things

Yes, I think I purchased the VicTsing brand ones. I would like to say it was less that $12 for the set. 5DMKII | 50mm 1.4 | 24-105 f/4 | Speedlights - Strobes |

Jan 02, 2015 16:16 | #14 I had an Olloclip with my iPhone 4. It was fun for a little bit, but I'm glad I bought it at a discount off ebay. The novelty wore off quickly because it was one more thing to carry around and I didn't like that it required my phone to be out of a case...a bigger pain for me considering my case is metal and screwed together with tiny allen head screws. That being said, I tend to use my camera phone a LOT, so it was worth experimenting to me. I particularly enjoyed the macro lens.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
