olloclip goes telephoto

Take your mobile photography to the next level with the new olloclip telephoto and circular polarizing lens (CPL). It lets you get twice as close to your subject with close-up images and videos that are sharp even if you’re half off the effective distance. 

The telephoto lens is made with multi-element coated, optical quality, precision-ground glass lens and high-grade aluminum. The CPL lets you block out light coming in at user-adjustable angles for better color reproduction and less reflection. This can be used directly on the iPhone camera or on the olloclip 3-in-1 lens system with fisheye or wide-angle lenses (sold separately). The olloclip telephoto lens is available for the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPod touch 4^th and 5^th generations through its website or from major retailers and is priced at $99.99.
