My iPhone doesn't cut it for sharing pics on this forum. Any cheap suggestions. I'm not looking to spend a bundle.

I have an app for my phone (was discussed recently) called Cozy Magnifier and it does okay, and its free (with ads).

Here is one I took with it last year.

Thanks Fuzzy! Can you post a link to the thread. I just searched the app store I didn't find anything with the title 'cozy magnifier'.

Its on Google Play, so I am not sure if its available to iphones.

Yep.. I'm going to monkey around with it over the weekend. I have one of those jumbo 6 types. It sounds like it's mainly about the lighting and steadiness of the phone. Not sure if I want to set up one of those elaborate mounts but this gives me a starting point.

@Fuzzy I think I found some comparable magnifying options for iPhone. I'll monkey around with them this weekend and update with a post.

@MikeF, that's good news My digital camera with marco capabilities isn't used very often, mostly because I have to remember to charge/change the batteries
