Nexus One Macro Lens

I dismantled an old DVD drive a couple years ago with the plan of using the lens to build a microscope.  That project was abandoned before it began.  Last week I came across a post where someone had put a DVD lens directly onto their cell phone camera and turned it into a macro lens.  All they did was tape it on.  Hey, that's a project even I can complete.  The hardest part was getting the tape to stick to the body of my Nexus One.  The plastic HTC used on the Nexus feels good in the hand, but it seems to do a fine job of repelling the unwanted advances of amorous painters tape.   I only took a couple pics and the results were pretty neat.  This picture is of some newsprint with a red number 5 on it.  You can see the texture of the fibers in the paper.
