Companies like Carl Zeiss put a lot of R&D and effort into those. I understand the appeal and convenience of having a camera integrated into your interface to the universe. I confess that I don't 'get' going to all of the trouble of setting up lights and stands and all of the rest to try to extract the best you can from your phone. Maybe it's the challenge of making it work with a very inefficient tool. Eating a bowl of fragrant rice with a toothpick. Very possibly why Kyle is an ubercool and successful photographer and I am an amateur. I still very much like all of the pictures shown!
