Budget Fisheye Photography with an iPhone

I've had a hankering to play with fisheye photography, but didn't have the budget for a lens for my OM-D. So I spent $16 and bought the 3in1 Fisheye Wide Angle Macro Lens kitfor my iPhone 4S. I went with this budget kit because it was affordable and included a snap-on case for the iPhone. That way I didn't have to apply any adhesive to the phone itself.

I carry the lens in my pocket, then make crazy photography shots when I have a moment or two of downtime during my everyday life.

I'm having a blast, and I'm "scratching that fisheye itch" without dinging my credit card.

How is the marco lens? I've been thinking about getting an olloclip or another brand macro for my iPhone 5.

Actually, the macro lens is pretty decent too. I was figuring that I would switch to carrying that around when I was ready for a change of pace.

This looks interesting, especially if the fish-eye itch is also a macro-itch. In some larger occasions where I have a fish-eye itch without the credit-card scratch, I use a series of photos that I glue together using the Hugin software. It takes a bit of time, but it works even if you leave your wallet at home!
