$15 for a cheap little contraption made of rubber and plastic?

C'mon, now!

Is that macro bands already available in all US states? Where can I purchase one online?

$15 does sound a tad on the pricey side for what is essentially a rubber band with a small, cheap lens in it. Add to that the minimum of $12 shipping to Europe and it becomes ridiculously expensive. For those with more money than sense, I think. It's a very nice idea and I do like it, but it's way too expensive; I'll be giving it a miss unless there is a UK stockist who I can get it from without paying silly money for it.

@espekayen I hadn't considered the shipping costs to the UK when I said this was mega cheap. Cheap for some, but not us here in the UK :(

I think £10 is a fair price for this, and that is being quite generous as it is probably made in China for about 50p. Any more than a tenner is excessive. $27 for UK customers; I make that about £18-20. That is coming perilously close to a rip-off. I appreciate that Photojojo are not responsible for shipping costs, but it's still way overpriced.

Ha!

This is a very cool idea, but $15 is unreasonable for what it is. I'd rather just buy a pocket magnifying glass instead. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go do that today. Thanks for the idea! lol

$15 US for a toy macro lens for a toy camera plus a nominal shipping fee? count me in!
