    There's a set of lenses on eBay I've seen (dirt cheap, so not pro quality at a guess), has wide angle, telephoto, macro, fish eye and a tripod for £25. Does anyone have experience of these or should I file them away under "cheap gimmick" and just save for an olliclip?
    Thought I'd ask as I've had some pretty good advice already so can't hurt to ask about it.

    Got some from China. They work very good. The only problem I have is with the adhesive. I need to 'play' with them more, but I might superglue one of the rings to an inexpensive iPhone case and have it on permanently. The other side of the ring is a magnet and any of the lens can be put on the one ring.

    Yes china ones are good! Not as good an an olloclip but if you have the time to play a bit more to get your focus right then they are still a great set of lenses. Some of my fave macros have been china lens.
