Testing out a cell phone telescope lens that can be used the Kodak Zi8. I'm not sure how the body is on the Zi8, but with the Playsport attaching the lens is a little bit of a pain. You can't just pop the zoom lens on and off. The lens mounting clip blocks the power button and sometimes turns off the camera. Any time you want to attach the lens, you have to remove the lens from the mounting clip. Get the clip into position and then attach the lens. Somewhat time consuming. Other then getting the Telescope lens connecting to the camera and keeping it in place, it does a good job. I was getting some nice clear zoom shots when my hand wasn't shaking. If you zoom way out you can see a black rim around the shot from the lens. It's like your looking through a keyhole. Overall there is a huge difference between having the lens vs not using it. I guess for $14 I can't complain too much, just wish it was easier to attach.
