This is known as the cheapest, way to DIY a macro lens for less than 2 bucks, I recently bought a O2 pocket PC phone, however, this model unable to take close up image....it made me very sad. When I do a research, I found out almost 80% of the mobile phones in the market do not support macro mode.

I usually use it to capture bar codes, words from newpaper magazine, name card, products and small object....if you like this video...kindly held to vote me higher...thank you and enjoy the movie...

There are all you will need:

1) Blu Tack (very little), about $0.1 buck
2) A pair of Presbyopia glass(must use 250 to 275 degrees) get one at 1 dollar Shop
3) 1 piece of pipe ring form any DIY shop, about $0.1 buck

Instruction:
all you need to do is blu tack....just watch my video instruction
