Fashion a DIY Pre macro lens from an old DVD player
Fashion a DIY Pre macro lens from an old DVD player
Ask just about any Pre owner and they’ll tell you that the phone’s camera is among the best smartphone cameras out there. But they may also lament the camera’s inability to take good macro (close-up) shots, though that is a limitation that afflicts the vast majority of phone cameras, let alone most consumer-grade point-and-shoot cameras. So when you find yourself in need of a good close-up shot and all you’ve got is your Pre, what should you do? Look for an old DVD player you can disassemble. PreCentral Forum member jasonrw found instructions on how extracting the laser lens from a DVD player and holding it in front of the Pre’s camera can yield some surprisingly decent macro shots. Jason turned his Pre onto nearby flowers, and got to within one inch to get sharp focused pictures of their centers. The pictures are so close and sharp that you can even see the pollen collected on the petals, as you can see above. We’ve got a few more shots after the break. So that got us thinking, which is a mighty dangerous thing. A good many Pre owners have bought Touchstone chargers and consequently a replacement back to gain inductive charging capabilities. But now they have a shiny black original back lying around doing nothing. Why not mount the DVD laser lens over the camera hole on your old back and have a quick macro lens available when you most need one? originally found here: Codehttp://www.precentral.net/fashion-diy-pre-macro-lens-old-dvd-player |
