Cheap iphone macro lens for barcode scanning

Step 3 Remove the lens

Again, we want the lens that would be up against your eye if you were taking a picture. In some cameras like the Kodak, the whole viewfinder setup is one piece of plastic, consisting of two lenses and a connector. If so, we want the flatter lens so we can manipulate this plastic to end up with the lense we want. I cracked off the other lens by covering it with a rag, applying pressure with my fingers and rocking the lens back and forth until it snapped off.

If you're using a different type of camera, such as the Fuji shown, the lens may be one piece that slides out. This is good too, but may be harder to mount to your case.
