Best way to do a review like this is to take a picture of a brick wall. Then you get a better sense of the lens distortion throughout the full range of the image.

I'd prefer a 3:1 zoom. The iPhone lens is already wide enough for most uses, so the wide here, plus that zoom would make a major advance. I'd pay an additional $75 for that set, without the fisheye, which is somewhat gimmicky, and limited.

If you look on their website you can see a telephoto pictures. I'm guessing it's just not ready for prime time yet.

Ok, so I'll ad that the lens quality on these things are always going to be an issue - it's not a leica you know.
However, to overcome a completely different obstacle (this case does not fit the iPhone 5)... I found this on shapeways:

So now I can still use my lenses and the rig snaps on and off - kinda what I wished for when I got the lenses anyway.
