Ghetto macro lens (for cell phones)

Hey GANG! Well i might not be around all that much but it doesn't mean that i do not still have your best interests at heart.
Whilst browsing reddit this morning i came across a very cheap way to make your cell phone camera into a macro taking machine, a lot of people would like to take macro pics without spending the $$$.

Heres how it is done, check the link. http://imgur.com/a/iMi6Z
 
You are more than welcome Natty. Any chance of putting some pics up so we can see the results you are getting?
 
This is great! I went and did this as soon as I saw it. I had a laser pointer just like that in my junk drawer that I think I picked up at Fry's in the impulse line for $2. Only thing different about mine is that my plastic part was black instead of grey and it wouldn't come unscrewed, so I just broke it apart with pliers. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow outside, it's hard to take a pic of something without block all of the light to it inside.
 
funny I was thinking of a way to do this. I use a jewlers loupe and hold it in front of my camera for the same results but your way you can steady the camera easier
THIS IS DONE WITH MY CELLPHONE. all my closeups of flowers and bugs are taken with my cellphone
