You know, they make cameras that actually are meant to attach to those lenses... ;-)

I appreciate the experiment, though. But one thing about the image quality: those lenses are specified assuming a 35mm (or 35mm/1.6) sensor. The sensor on an iphone must be 3.5mm at most, so the point spread function of the lenses aren't really matched to the sensor. I suspect that's part of why the quality is bad.

shouldn't the title read "attaching an iphone to SLR lenses"?

It should, is like saying he had a head transplant:)

There are these projects which seem to be utterly pointless and nonsensical, but are nonetheless cool. This is one of them.

In other words, I cannot stop screaming "why?" while admiring his work.
