I've later found out that one of those office hole cutters makes a PERFECT fitting hole. I made a new version with cardboard from a milk carton, and I didn't even have to use glue, the lens stayed in place by itself. Did it with tape just to get a quick test.

Either way the pictures came out good but the tape makes it a little too abstract to recognize what you're actually shooting.

Now I'm using a piece of transparent plexiglass as a frame. It suits better, lays closer on the lens, so the vignetting is less visible and the sharpness of the image is much more satisfying... But I must admit that Yours photos, despite not being sharp- are really interesting! They are -I would say- more artistic then mine :).. I've tested this solution on Sony Ericsson K810i and C902... And you're right, the difference between photos comes from: different lenses, phone models, amount of light getting through and of course the immobility of a hand of the photographer :) Once again, I'm very glad that you like my photos on <a href="http://www.makroshots.com" target="_blank">www.makroshots.com</a> :) Feel free to comment those images who are worth it ;) Well, this pink rubber on the first photo is actually a piece of wax ;) but as the title of the folder says- it was The Beginning.

It seems that my shots are alot closer than yours, but I like yours better. It must be a difference of the lens or the phone perhaps, I've tested with the iphone and a nokia N95. Or perhaps it is because you have more space between the lens and the phone? What did you use to hold the lens, seems like some sort of pink rubber? I found out that you can make a fast and easy holder by using one of those hole cutters for paper, the lens fits perfectly in the hole. It sure is.
