Magnetic Lens Accesories?

[hiko36]

Does anyone know if any of the magnetic lens attachments out there will work for our phones? Or any place in D.C. to buy a pack so I can test and let everyone know if they'll work.

I've come up empty. I think I'm going to start my own collection with a 28mm ND filter (thanks for leaving this off, Nokia!) and two rubberbands

I have one it does not stick. Works on the 920 but not the 1020. You'll need rubber bands

That sucks. I would have figured with that huge camera cover we'd have a great surface for them to stick. Guess its either non ferrous or ceramic.

I think it's all polycarbonate, which isn't magnetic at all. It's detailed here: Nokia explains the design and materials utilised in the Lumia 1020 | Windows Phone Central

Isn't the OIS made of metal ball bearings?

The camera plate is aluminum. That's why the lenses won't work.

If you're talking about the ones similar to what's shown here: Nokia Lumia 920 can take magnetic lens attachments too | Windows Phone Central

Yes, I've used those on my Lumia 1020, but you've got to stick on one of the rings that come with the kits.

I don't think it affects the OIS.

The fisheye one is interesting to see. You can see the OIS working as you move -- the black circular frame from the fisheye lens shifts around as you move.

I've noticed that shift even when I try to take a shot normally. It's funny to watch the focus reticle shift ever so slightly around the screen as the OIS compensates for handshake.

could you share those videos and photos taken with fisheye lens. Thanks
