    I am a photographer and I have no idea why anyone would want this!

      That's actually made me howl with laughter.

      Attached to that contraption, is a Canon L-Series Lens (the Red ring gives it away). I had this lens back about 3 years ago. The cost? about £1200. Why would anyone put a product made by Apple onto the back of such a beautiful piece of engineering?

      The short answer, is no, that device will not do anything worth doing.

      This comment sums it up for me:

      "Why? Because obviously a $1000+ L glass (see that red ring?) lens can only be improved by duct-taping an Apple product to the back of it. Apple makes everything better, you know."

      Can't argue with that

        Well,

        AF isn't going to work, so manual focus only.

        Neither is the aperture setting on a lot of lenses, on the EOS lenses it's all electronic. Older nikon ones should be OK.

        The crop factor (effective multiplication of focal length) will be ridiculous as well, the only way to get a blur free photo will be with the whole assembly on a tripod.

        The phone's auto exposure system might also get fooled and cock the exposure up. Hard to say without trying it.

        I wouldn't waste my money personally.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          It probably works because I remember hearing about it a while back.

          Why someone wants to do it is simple. Now iphones are everywhere people need a different way to stand out (sorry, look like a fashionable prat).

          I think this red button is a better idea. You would still look like an idiot tho.
