It should be emphasized that this adaptor only works with certain scopes, and 
is only for the specific iPhone models Pat mentioned.  It won't work with an 
iPod Touch, for example (and those have a lousy camera compared to the iPhone 
anyway.)  That said, I'm always amazed at the quality of photos some people can 
get with their phones... guess it's the operator, not the equipment (I speak 
from bitter experience.)
