Me either, but it's the best macro setup that fits in my pocket.

Funny theme on the one hand but from time to time it would be good to remember that macro (magnification about 1:1 and higher) could be counted thanks to sensor size too. In that mobilephone case the result would be photo with 6mm part of the ruler and not the 2 inches.

Just this size of ruler mean magnification about 1:8. And this is magnification to far from the macro range.

So the truth is that it fits to your pocket but it is really not the macro setup.

.. on the other hand of fun, one photo with magnification 1:2 by reversed Mamiya-Sekor 105mm f3.5 lens on 8x10" planfilm:
