The list of add-ons that let you to tinker with the photo taking capabilities of your iPhone is about to get even bigger with the launch of Magnifi. Rather than tacking azoom or fish-eye lens onto the smartphone, Magnifi integrates an adapter into the case so that your phone can be hooked-up to most optical instruments with an eye-piece such as binoculars, microscopes or telescopes. Using a similar approach to iPhone adapters for digital SLRs, Magnifi aligns the camera on your iPhone 4 / 4S to the eyepiece - something that's virtually impossible to do by hand.
The device comes in two parts - the case itself and a detachable bayonet mount designed to precisely align the iPhone’s camera with the optical axis of the eyepiece by means of a latch that locks it in place.
The detachable bayonet means that the case itself remains slimline enough for everyday use while also aiming to make the system (partially) usable with not-yet-released iPhone designs.
