New olloclip 4-IN-1 lens to expand photographic range of iPhone 5 and 5s

The iPhone 5 and its successor, the iPhone 5s are regarded to be two of the best cameras in the market today. Olloclip has created lenses that snap on easily to extend the iPhone's photographic range by giving it unprecedented macro, fisheye and wide-angle capability that can only be enabled through a lens. 

olloclip takes mobile photography further with the new 4-IN-1 quick-connect lens, making it more fun to capture and share life’s experiences with the iPhone and iPod touch. 

The olloclip 4-IN-1 lens system, the latest in the company’s line of simple, easy-to-use mobile photography tools, offers fisheye, wide-angle, and two macro (10x and 15x magnification) lenses in less than one ounce -- with enhanced optics and sleek new design -- all for $69.99 USD. 

The four new quick-change lenses are similar to those available with larger DSLR cameras, yet fit easily in a pocket and palm of the hand.  Simple, elegant and unobtrusive, the olloclip 4-IN-1 lens connects to the iPhone within seconds. With the fisheye and wide-angle lenses on opposite sides, selecting a lens is as simple as flipping the lens over. The macro lenses are cleverly revealed by unscrewing either the fisheye or wide-angle lens. 

The olloclip 4-IN-1 lens works with all favorite apps in photo and video mode, making it easy for sports and travel enthusiasts, amateur and professional photographers to get exactly the shots and videos they want. 

Building on the success of the original olloclip 3-in-1 lens, the olloclip 4-IN-1 lens solution is designed from aircraft-grade aluminum and precision-ground, coated glass optics -- but with the specific field-of-view, light-control and resolution characteristics of the iPhone 5s’ eight-megapixel camera in mind.  

The wide-angle and fisheye lenses have been improved to deliver sharper images, edge to edge, with less lens distortion and enhanced clarity overall.  Additionally, the 10x macro lens has a focus distance of about 18mm, allowing users to get more light on the subject (as compared to its predecessor, the 3-IN-1 olloclip lens) and allowing more depth of field so that more of the image is in focus.

“We wanted to enhance the new features of the iPhone 5s camera, including the five-element lens, autofocus matrix metering and dynamic local tone map that ensures more true-to-life color, while also complementing the iPhone’s aesthetic look,” said Patrick O’Neill, founder and president (CEO) of olloclip. “We believe we’ve succeeded in creating an elegant, pocket-size product that any iPhone user will be proud of and that any iPhone photographer will be inspired to use to create great art.”
