Well after finding my little lens and then finding on ebay some new magnetic sticky rings......... then losing lens again only to find it this evening stuck to a saucepan... i can tell you i was seething all day at not knowing where the damn thing was when it had been on the kitchen sill all weekend..
"Stuck to a saucepan" - could only happen to you
I never go anywhere near the saucepans (MCP) so wouldn't lose mine there
May find it stuck to the bottom of the TV remote control

Whilst stuck in traffic (M25 Carpark) this little fly joined me, wouldn't stay still.

Enjoyed looking through all the shots on here, amazed at some of the quality from these mobile phone cameras.
Thought I'd add a few of mine, all taken on a Nokia Lumia 920.

Thanks Tintin
I'm very impressed with the Nokia, and I think the top end Lumias all contain fairly decent optics.No I haven't used a macro lens attachment, although from DayDreamers comments I presume you are quite a fan of them?

Hi Soggs & welcome from me
A few of us bought one at the Princely sum of £4.99 including me. They are good fun

Hi DayDreamer, and thanks for the welcome
That sounds like a pretty reasonable price, I might be tempted myself as I'm quite keen on macro photography. Where were they from?

I found an app called better camera which gives you a little more control Pete, maybe give it a try as it is free.

This one & II see the price has gone up from the £4.99 I paid. Must be because they're having a run on them from TP members

Thanks for the link, I might get one to play around with, although I'm not sure that one will work with my phone as the camera on mine is almost in the centre of the phone and it doesn't look like the clip will reach.

How wide does that clip go? I'm just wondering if the 13mm measurement is acurate. I wanted to be able to use one in conjunction with my lifeproof case.

If you take a look on Amazon or Ebay they seem to have many different types & I bet they're all similar

I have an IPhone 4s with this case & it fits - the thickness - but doubt it would fit anything very much fatter but let me know if you want other sizes & I will measure

No, i nearly did and then done a quick search to see if anyone sold just the macro magnetic sticky circles and they did, only 1.30 too!
i still might get the clip one though as the strips don't work all that well so need to get a bit of super clue as a temporary measure

Skirts....
eek i don't wear those pesky things lol
Yes I'll have a look round, I'm sure there'll be something that will fit. I think I'll need something to compete with some of the shots on here, very impressive!If you take a look on Amazon or Ebay they seem to have many different types & I bet they're all similar

Thanks John, if you could measure the thickness of your phone and case together, that would be a great help.

Michael it is 14mm - but taking a more careful look it would cope with something quite a bit thicker. Tell me the thickness of yours & I will take another look

Les
A shot you took earlier or an IPhone 5s you got earlier
I'll post some up later with my IPhone 6s & that'll keep you quiet
Oh yes nice 'critterless' shot
