<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 3750074, member: 44132&quot;]Okay, I&#039;ve played around with my cell phone camera most of the afternoon and evening and I&#039;ve come to a conclusion of sorts.&nbsp; I hope this helps somewhat with those of you considering buying a macro lens for your cell phones.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; The micro lens focuses into the minutia of the coin.&nbsp; The problem is that I am able to see the grain of the coin to the detriment of the image.&nbsp; I am also able to see flaws made during the striking.&nbsp; And although interesting, is not conducive to a good image of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Larger coins such as the one posted below, will not fit in the micro image.&nbsp; This coin is fairly large, 33mm.&nbsp; If I pull back so that the coin fits the lens, it blurs.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; The lens in my S10 seems to take good images w/o the macro lens, at least good enough for my purposes.&nbsp; You can be the judge.&nbsp; The first image was taken with my Olympus camera quite some time ago and is what I have used in my catalog and on-line discussions (I can&#039;t take another image today since the batteries are dead).&nbsp; The second image I snapped tonight with my S10.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1005698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1005699[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In conclusion, I do believe I will return the macro lens.&nbsp; The cell phone camera seems sufficient for my purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
