Here's a strange product from Kenko in Japan. These plastic lenses actually plug into your cameraphone, letting you take photos with different special effects. Probably not marketed to those of us who upload our images to the PC (and know how to use actual software), I'd bank on kids using these things. There are 14 different lenses that allow you to include effects like eliminating reflections from windows and glass, a strange "floral" effect which shows your subject about five times (see below) and of course, the popular "blurry" effect which makes something look like its moving. A set of four'll cost ya 3700 yen.
