Photojojo

Your iPhone aspires to be a DSLR, so make the dream a (pseudo) reality with the iPhone Rangefinder ($65). We've talked about similar cases before, but Photojojo is offering up a complete iPhoneography system — the Rangefinder and three lenses (macro/wide, fisheye, and telephoto) — for just $99. Unbelievable!

The Rangefinder isn't just a case though. It comes with extra bells and whistles like a shutter button, viewfinder, aperture numbers, two loops for a camera strap, and a tripod mount so you can take still photos and videos without blur. And the faux front lens? Well, that acts as a mirror so you can take perfectly centered (or off-center — remember the rule of thirds!) self-portraits every time.

For me, iPhoneography is becoming an obsession, so of course, I'd want to load up on apps and tools to help me take better pics. First up, the Wide/Macro Phone Lens ($20) from Photojojo.

The lens is easy to install onto any phone — just apply the included metal sticker ring around your phone lens (there are several that fit just about any phone, including those with flash), and your macro lens will grip with ease, thanks to a strong magnetic pull. The lens works like a charm and really does improve the look of your close-ups. One note — your pics may turn out darker than normal in low light, so be sure to compensate with a light source.

Photojojo was kind enough to send me the plastic Diana+ lens and digital adapter ($60) last week, allowing me to ditch the film while still getting that lo-fi feel to my images. Coming with three distance settings (1-2m, 2-4m, and Infinity), the Diana+ lens is a fun addition to your digital lens arsenal. Good news, plastic camera fans: if you already have a Diana+ lens, you can get the adapter for just $15.

Snapping on the lens is a breeze — just attach the adapter to your Canon or Nikon DSLR, then twist the lens on to the adapter and away you go. I found that the Diana+ works best when shooting in natural light outside, as opposed to indoors, and capturing pops of color. If you do grab this lens for your digital, don't bother trying to get close-up and macro images; that's not what this lens is for. It definitely creates a dreamy ambiance for your pics, so strap it on next time you're at the park with your friends, watching a parade, or taking a walk around town.

Hungry for photography? So are we. Satisfy your cravings for awesome images by toting extra lenses in the delicious protection of the Photorito Lens Wrap ($20). Inspired by the delectable delights of San Francisco's Mission District and made of superstrong Tyvek, the Photorito allows you to roll and toss your favorite spare lens into any bag with a layer of extra padding. Unlike the super burritos you find on the street, the built-in strap ensures that your lenses stay securely fastened inside your roll-up sleeve.

I love the ability to manipulate a roll of film in a Holga or other Lomo camera, and manually rewind the spool for a double exposure with the most dreamy qualities. Unfortunately, the reality of actually carrying around a larger toy camera, possibly dropping it and accidentally exposing the film, and having the film actually processed, leaves it locked away at home most of the time. The Minimo-X Double Exposure Digi Cam ($130) from Photojojo looks like the perfect digital gadget to start photography experimentation again. At just two-inches wide and weighing one ounce, the Digi Cam combines two pictures into one in a flash and includes the saturated colors and vignetting Lomo cameras are known for. The 3.2MP camera also takes video and somehow fits a one-inch LCD screen on the back for perfect double framing.

A camera lens mug just isn't enough, especially if you're planning to invite a bunch of camera nerds to your next shindig. In these instances, you need the Camera Lens Shot Glass Set ($18 for three), which is made from sturdy ceramic and will hold anything from espresso to sarsaparilla to Svedka. Or, use them as decorative accents to hold your flash drives or toothpicks. The choice is yours. Get a closer look in the gallery!
