Ever since Jack decided to stay behind in 2010, I've been searching for something to give me the same feeling that Lost did.

More phone cameras should come with silly telephoto lenses

Upgrading your phone with a camera grip attachment is one thing. But doll-sized telephoto lenses that you mount on top of the rear camera? C'mon.
