Taking Photos with Your iPhone 4S/4 is Now Even More Fun!

Launching Three New Lens Kits for the iPhone 4S/4

Perfect For Taking Slightly Unusual Photos


ELECOM CO., LTD. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Osaka, Japan; President: Junji Hada) will launch in succession three new “Lens Kits for the iPhone 4S/4” that can be attached easily to your iPhone 4S/4, allowing you to take slightly unusual photos using telephoto, fisheye, and wide/macro photography.

More and more people are using the camera functionality available in iPhones and smartphones, which provide good quality images, as well as plenty of photo opportunities thanks to their portability. Everyone can have fun with these images by processing them using photo applications, but for those who think that this is not enough, ELECOM is introducing three new Lens Kits. Each kit includes a case for the iPhone 4S/4, and a different type of lens that allows you to take slightly unusual photos. The kits include a telephoto, fisheye, and wide/macro lens that allow you to take wonderfully unique and unusual photos.

The “PS-A11CST1BK” is the “Telephoto Lens Kit,” including a telephoto lens offering approximately 8x optical zoom. This lens can zoom in and take smooth pictures of far away objects, but it can also take pictures with a soft bokeh effect of nearby objects, just as you would with an SLR camera. As it uses an optical zoom, the pictures look smooth and beautiful, unlike the rough pictures that can be taken using a digital zoom.
The “PS-A11CST2BK” is the “Fisheye Lens Kit,” perfect for people who want to take some unique pictures of their pets, the scenery, etc. For example, you can take a picture looking up toward your pet’s face to create a cute photo with a distorted effect, or you can take a picture of regular scenery using the shape of a sphere to create a really special effect.
“PS-A11CST3BK” is the “Wide/Macro Lens Kit” that allows you to take both wide (wide-angle) and macro (close-up) pictures.
The wide lens provides an easy way to capture in one picture any scenery that is too large for the viewing angle of an iPhone lens (*). The macro lens allows you to zoom in and take clear pictures of small nearby objects; recommended for taking pictures of detailed documents, plants, cookery, accessories, etc. Also, taking pictures of nearby objects with a wide-angle lens can add great perspective and impact to your pictures.

The cases on all 3 lens kits come with a handy stand. Additionally, the “PS-A11CST1BK” includes a tripod that keeps your device in place when taking pictures.

*Cannot be used with other cases or covers attached to your device.
*When taking pictures, the flash on your iPhone must be turned off.
