When a dSLR lens and an iPhone meet
(Credit: Bhautik Joshi)
The iPhone 3GS has a 3.2-megapixel fixed-lens camera and that seems to satisfy most users, but not Bhautik Joshi. The engineer with ILM Research took apart his Apple handset and retrofitted it with a couple of optical drive lenses, then stuck a few PVC pipes to accommodate his 18-55mm Canon glass.
Personally, I'll say this hack is way overdone. I'm pretty sure your modded iPhone won't fit in your pocket anymore and stability will be a major issue. Also, pictures taken with the modified lens actually look worse than before it was tweaked. But if you're brave (or free) enough to try out this time-consuming hack, here's the link for the instructions.

oh puh-lease...! is this really necessary? Mr. Joshi wasn't too pleased with his dSLR I guess. If I were you him I'd use a Satio, Pixon, or anything more capable or a dSLR (duh!) ...
typical of how anything and everything iPhone does, it gets picked up. i dont see an omnia device with a DSLR lens. now that's different.
