droptopman Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Ok, so I am sick of having poor pictures and really do not want to invest in a high end camera I will have to learn how to use. So I finally broke down and bought an Olliclip attachment for my iPhone and a really good loupe. Here are a couple attempts in my office using the olliclip. Cleary it takes some practice....... 1
cc33 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 There is a learning curve but it looks like you figured it out rather quickly, very nice!
508-Fanatic Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I'd been considering a macro lens, like 50mm F2.8 for my Canon. I'm thinking I'll just get the macro Olloclip http://www.olloclip.com/product/iphone5-macro-3-in-1/ considering it will be infrequent that I use it.
dbane883 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 The Olloclip is excellent value compared to some other alternatives. But I find holding a 10x triplet loupe against the iPhone lens and zooming in marginally almost as good. But very nice pickup dtm. The Olloclip is a lot of fun
Cubeistan Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I salute you. Am pretty good at following written instructions and tried my best with Olloclip on the previous iPhone, but to no avail. Might give it another go with the 6
droptopman Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks guys. That was only a couple of minutes trying the different lenses. @508 that is the same one I got. I already have a wide angle so just wanted the macros. Taken with iPhone 6+. Pretty easy to use. Went online and they have a nice tutorial. Key is to get the lens really close. I will mess around with it and bound to improve. Cannot wait to get some 6538 shots
508-Fanatic Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I just picked up the olloclip 3-in-1 Macro adapter. I am curious to see how it goes, but I figured I'd need it to keep ya'll happy when the masterful 5513 is back together!!

The 50 Macro 2.5 is nice, but it's awesome when used with the Life-Size Convertor. Droptop Photos look great, looks like your learning curve was a straight line to go.

martijnp Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 These iphone clips works pretty good, are very easy to use and it's doing the trick every time. Nice job!
508-Fanatic Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 I bought an Olloclip, thread here Having good luck with it so far! Neat gadget. 1

Mendota Explorer Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Wow! I like the one showing the coronet!
436NR Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Hey! This might sound crazy, but it really did work; place a small drop of water on the lens of the iPhone and it turns it into a macro lens. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How do you keep the water from sliding off if the camera is held vertically or at an angle? I can see that working if you hold it completely flat above the subject you are photographing.
cc33 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 I love the olloclip for macro on the go but just a crop of a pic from my camera does the trick for me these days when I'm home.
