Impressive for Accessories

I have used a few different lenses on my phone but this one impressed me as soon as I opened it. It just looks and feels a lot more professional than other toys. It uses glass - and yes, the lens is a lot larger than a typical phone's camera, so it's undeniably bigger and heavier than it should be, but I love the feel and how it gives you confidence that it's a phone quality product. . Today this is a rarity. How it works? Well, if you've never used it, you must have certain expectations. Any crude clip-on lens will not match a professional DSLR lens. Most likely you have vignetting (dark corners), uneven focus across the image, and in the case of macros - they have VERY shallow depth of field - move a millimeter and the focus goes off. It's also difficult to keep everything in focus with a 3D object, but that's part of the art and fun. With that in mind, I think this attachable lens is well above average. Not perfect, but one that stands out from the rest. I don't really care about the wide angle as it gives a fisheye effect which I don't like but the price of the kit is only worth it for the macro which makes it fun to take out into nature and photograph leaves, bugs and the like . I wouldn't look for a phone macro anymore - try this one! the sky is so harsh and full of smoke but you get the point) 1) Normal - no lens 2) With wide angle lens - fish eye effect 3) Close up of tissue. It can be seen that the sharpness at the edges is not very good, but this is to be expected. 4) Macro, some focus fluctuations 5) Macro - emphasis on the shallow depth of field. The stalk blurs quickly, as expected
