Please note, there is some sharpening due to reduction/cropping in some of the images below in order to fit some of the larger examples on the page – it is noted above the image if there was any alteration. Otherwise, the photos were untouched – no color correction or any other changes. JPEGs were saved as “high” and all were saved with the exact same settings.

I tried to get the best picture I could without the Clarifi, using the normal iPhone camera, with lighting better than you would normally find in a library or another similar location. I then took another photo with the Clarifi from nearly the same spot, but quite a bit closer (since part of the Clarifi’s appeal is that it’s able to focus from a closer distance). It’s not exactly scientific, but I think you would be hard pressed to get better photos unless you mounted the iPhone on a stand and had some intense lighting shining perfectly on the object you are photographing.

The following two images are from the same two photos, one with and one without the Clarifi.

The next two images are from a section map out of book, and it wouldn’t lay flat:
