Modern mobile phones can be used as cameras but some of them miss a telephoto lens. But the Apple iPhone 4 now has a Rollei 8x telephoto for 50 dollars.

Rollei has just announced the launch in April, in the European market, of their new manual focus lens for the iPhone 4. Weighing only 45 grams, the Rollei 8x telephoto lens can focus from 3 meters on – has a scale with 10, 20, 30 and 40 meters markings – and is the necessary equipment to get distant things closer.

Rollei states that “distant subjects are now enlarged and clearly visible” making this lens “ideal for paparazzi, nature enthusiasts and anyone with an eye for detail.”

The lens is delivered with a miniature tripod, a special mount for the iPhone 4, and a hardcase for the phone.
