Something I did not expect with my Griffin Macro lens When I first got my Griffin Clarifi Macro lens for my iphone, I was pretty happy, but then I realized there is one down side.

There are even limits here, conflicts with intelliscreen, etc.. Still, I like where it’s going,… Read More

Macro lens for the iPhone; the only thing I bought at MacWorld Once I saw this I knew I had to buy it. Often, when I’ve had a good bottle of wine, I would take a picture of the label so that I could buy that bottle later.
