1 x iPhone4/4s 1 x iPhone camera case 1 x DOF adapter 1 x Canon SLR Lens

Step 2 of 11

The DOF adapter consists of 1 x macro lens 1 x short tubular case 1 x gg holder 1 x focusing screen 1 x long tubular case 1 x canon EOS mount and attached in that order.

Step 3 of 11

Place your iPhone in the case.

Step 4 of 11

Attach the DOF adapter via 37mm threading on the iPhone camera case.

Step 5 of 11

Screw off the long tubular case off the adapter, exposing the gg holder and the focusing screen.

Step 6 of 11

Make sure the focusing screen is aligned straight to the case.

Step 7 of 11

Screw the long tubular case back on.

Step 8 of 11

Attach canon SLR lens to the DOF adapter.

Step 9 of 11

Open an app that supports complex lens. I recommended apps like Turtlehead available for free on app store.

Step 10 of 11

Open turtlehead and press the PF button. Wait 5 second, adjust the focs on SLR lens.

Step 11 of 11

Have fun shooting with you SLR lens!
