How to build cheap macro lens

Here is a quick DIY lesson on how to create insanely close-up pictures with your mobile phone. And its basically FREE!


All you need to have: Cheap lazer, Hair clamp, Tape, Mobile phone. PS. Your phone's camera has to have at least 3MP. Also auto-focus improves quality.


Im sure lot of you remember this lazer when you were a small kid. It costs 2.50€ around here (Europe, Estonia) and i'll bet it's pretty cheap all over the world. Chances are that you already have this little lazer lying around somewhere in your house and thats what I meant when I said FREE.

You need to spin off the tip.

Now you need to screw off that grey plastic protection. It's pretty securely and tightly fit so you probably need to use clips.

Then you will find the key part to this DIY. In order to take macro pictures you need that lens(in the middle).

To prevent it from moving, I put that macro lens between hair clamp and used Macgyver's tape to secure it from moving. PS!!! The lens has to be with convex side facing away from camera and flat surface has to face the camera. PPS!!! If you are trying to get picture and are having trouble focusing, then here are few tips for you. The camera has to be really close, closer than 1 cm(0.4 inch). I suggest you to move your camera very, (VERY!) slowly toward the object you are trying to take picture of.

That's pretty cool. You've got some good photos there. I really like the bubbles one.
I just bought a clip-on macro lens and fisheye lens for my phone camera.
It only cost £7 with free delivery.

The fisheye isn't too great but the macro lens is decent enough for close-up detail shots...

The only trouble is you have to be really close, like within 20mm. If it's any further back it won't focus. And you have to keep your hand really still which is always tricky if you don't have anything to lean on.
Well worth the money anyway, but if you've already got an old laser pointer you don't use, then making one sounds like more fun.

Just passing along someone else's work that I knew would be valuable here. Glad y'all found it interesting and useful. I tried it w/ my crappy $30 digital camera and it worked really well - better than the cell.

At some point I'm gonna have to see how close it gets to spores... probably not close enough to be of any use, but who knows :shrug:?

You can buy microscopic lenses for smart phones cheap as chips which would be ideal for spores. Comes with a free mini tripod too. Think they are about £20 or less maybe.

Just google it. Not allowed to post links here that don't sponsor the site.

You can put a water droplet on the lens which works quite well also!!

As close as I could get without water and staying in focus....


With water....(half arsed)

Pretty Damn cool, :super: Unfortunately I don't rock an Iphone and the lens on on my phone doesn't seem to "hold" it well.
