Being the owner of a hudl 2, I was delighted to stumble across a set of additional lenses for it.
Costing £5, from Tesco petrol stations, it consists of a clip, similar to a crocodile clip, into which you screw your chosen lens, then clip it onto your smartphone/tablet, over the existing camera lens.
The options are Fish-eye, Wide Angle and Macro.
I find there's a little bit of vignetting (which may be down to the Hudl's lens being somewhat recessed) but it's livable.
Here are a couple of quick test images (reduced to 33% of original size), taken with the macro lens.
BTW. The pattern on the background, is the grain of the paper, the items were resting on.

I don't think so.
I stumbled on them by chance, while filling up.
They're just on a shelf, in the petrol station shop.0 -
Didn't know these could be a petrol station purchase.0

Plenty on ebay for example0

They also work on fixed lens webcams, if you get the ones with the stick on mounting rings, instead of the clip.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
