Summary: 

The Sanwa Iphone 4/4s telephoto zoom lens is a telescopic lens that you can attach to your Iphone that makes you able to take pictures from far away and still get a good picture. The following tripod will help you to keep the Iphone and lens still for the best possible picture.

Relative advantage: 

Where the regular lens on a Iphone won’t be able to take a good picture of an object from far away with good resolution and quality, the Sanwa zoom lens will be able to remedy that. And for $65 this is a cheaper alternative then having to buy a “real” camera and the following telescopic lens. It also attaches easily to your Iphone .

Observability:   

Potential buyers can easily see how this product in theory works, just click it on and go, but there is no way to see how good the actual lens work. After a google search I found no readily legitimate sites where they showed off either the pictures produced by the lens or any tests/reviews off this product (excluding the sellers site of course) 

Triability:   

What I could find out there where no physical stores which sold this product and that will make it hard to try out. You could always return the product, but that is a hassle and often the buyer has to pay the return shipping.

Compatability: 

This is a product which is meant to make really good pictures from far away and for people who take photography seriously. And serious photographers will probably not use an Iphone for their picturetaking. And for the casual photographers this product will probably be a little too big and clumsy for anyone to carry around.

Complexability:   

The Sanwa telescopic lens for the Iphone is a product that is easy to attach to your Iphone , where you just fit your Iphone into the following Iphone case that has the lens attached on it

Adaptability:  

 The Sanwa iPhone 4, 4S Telephoto Zoom Lens x12 zoom phone camera lens will probably not be adapted because it does not seem to hit their consumer target. Serious photographers will probably not use a Iphone for their picturetaking anyway, and the lens I just too big and clumsy for any casual photographers to carry around “just in case” they might want to take a long distant picture. And the re-invention is really limited , unless you break off the lens and use just the case for your Iphone and the lens as a crappy telescope.
