N8&efLens, the autofocus works?

It’s not color correction, there is a stamp mark on the CMOS itself presumably from when a machine picked up the chip and put it on the board or whatever…

Photojojo adapter works by putting a piece of ground glass at the focal plane of the lens, and then the phone takes a picture of that image. This is also how they filmed Olive. I could just as easily have built something like that, but thought the modification route was more interesting for a few reasons, but that’s beside the point here. What we all should be asking ourselves is WHY THE HELL no one has built cheap adapters like this before. I bet you could make em out of plastic and sell em to everyone with an iPhone or N8, whatever for $50 a pop, not $250. Does not need to be metal like the Photojojo iPhone adapter, can just as easily be plastic.

I’m seriously considering starting a Kickstarter for something like this, since i think it would really help out the cell phone photography community, but I kinda just don’t know where to start.

(totally unrelated) – speaking of which, where is the cell phone photography community online? It can’t all just be iphoneography blogs… that would be really depressing, since they all seem so shallow and miss the opportunity to be true evangelists for the power of the cameraphone – the device that will soon come to DOMINATE contemporary photography…

Great job Michael!

I got inspired by the ‘Olive’ movie shot on an N8 and went out and got a Steadicam Smoothie which dramatically improves video shooting results. (iPhone 3GS mount fits best after modification) I’m not interested in disassembling my N8 as it’s my day to day phone but I’d love something like the photojojo attachment mentioned above so I can get a DOF effect. Perhaps it can be simply modded? Anyone tried this?

I really must start using those new whizzy 3d printers one of these days – make manufacturers of us all! Cheers!

Funny idea to use a wracked N8.
Also interesting is that it seems Nokia have a onboard color correction for the original lens.
U can see it because sample have a red coloured vignette.
