A good iPhone 5 telephoto lens?

[mfm77]

Hi everyone, I've been considering purchasing a telephoto lens kit for my iPhone 5 and am wondering if any of you have recommendations for a good one. I don't need to break the bank, but I'd also like something that will allow me to take decent pictures from a distance. Do any of you have suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Check out the Olloclip. They make some of the best lenses for iPhones.

I love my Olloclip. Only bad thing is that you need to use it without a case. I just use the Olloclip on my old 4s and transfer the pictures to my 5.

I saw that Olloclip introduced their telephoto lens, but at $100, it's pretty steep. Is it worth the cost? Or are there less expensive quality lenses equivalent to it?

If you want an iPhone lens that provides equivalent quality to a DSLR, then it's totally worth the price. If you're happy settling for lower quality, check out some other alternatives.

Have a look at photojojo.com and see what they have to offer.

Thanks, Alli. It looks like they have some great stuff on there and for reasonable prices, too. Would you consider them a very reputable shop?

Yup! I've used them several times. My only complaint with them has been that sometimes they're sloooooow.
