ShiftCamLensUltra 75mm Long Range Macro Lens - 10x Magnification, 70-100mm Focus Distance - Perfect for Close-Up Photography, Stunning Depth of Field, Fine Details, Premium Design

Having "dabbled" and already owning a "cheap" telephoto lens for my iPhone I decided I wanted to upgrade to a better quality lens more akin to my digital SLR. Looking at the content online this lens looked to fit the bill perfectly but I'm afraid to say I was seriously dissappointed by the picture quality provided. It was no better than the cheap lens I owned and, in some circumstances, doing a side by side comparison it was worse. The build quality was good but ultimately it's about the image and it comes seriously short of expectations. Used with my iPhone 12 Pro max.

This lens ships without lens cap for both back and front of the lens. VERY CUSTOMER UNFRIENDLYYou will get a lens with lens caps to protect the lens if you buy from literally every single company manufacturing good lenses for iPhone: Beastgrip, Moment, Sandmarc, Reeflex and Moondog Labs.Shiftcam is the only manufacturer of good lenses for iPhone that is not providing lens caps for its lenses.Shiftcam obviously doesn't care about the safety and durability of your lens. Tell them a big NO.The importance of lens caps according to K& F Concept:"A lens cap protects the lens from dust and debris. Dust and dirt can build up on the lens, reducing image quality and causing loss of focus. It can also cause scratches on the lens, leading to permanent damage." It also protects the lens from moisture. "Moisture can cause the lens coating to degrade, reducing image quality."A lens cap provides a barrier against bumps and scratches."It protects the lens from fingerprints and other smudges. Fingerprints can reduce image quality and contrast, so it’s important to keep them off the lens. By using a lens cap, you can keep the lens free from fingerprints and other smudges.”They protect the lens from UV rays. "Exposure to UV rays can cause discoloration and fading of the lens coating, which can reduce image quality and contrast.”

The question this product asks is, can your phone replace a camera? Well first do you want to take better photos, thats subjective as to what medium does this best. For me photography is about having control. Control over every aspect. Therefore for me, an iPhone user I am inherently limited by the native camera app on an iPhone.This matters because to understand this products major flaw, one must first understand how the iPhone camera works. The 0.5x, 1x, 2x and 3x buttons on screen in the app would lead you to believe this is what camera you are selecting. To a degree it is, but due to complex algorithms the phone is actually taking data from all 3 cameras at once. Thats the first problem. Second, sometimes the camera app will switch which camera you choose to use automatically depending on the light. This means you may think you are using the telephoto camera but actually you’re stuck on the macro one.To resolve this, one must download a third party camera app that lets you stay on one camera without switching.

Good wide angle lens which is an additional addon to your phone camera. Captures extended details if you want additional depth of field.Captured with Pixel 8 pro and found the image to be crisp and clear. Was able to capture the entire team of 20 members in a single shot.the only downside of this external lens is the glare or optical properties in the image when exposed to direct sunlight.Tested with both primary camera as well as ultra wide camera and provided additional coverage to the inbuilt camera. Took a while to find the correct position to fit the lens to the universal phone mount. But after finding the right fit and position was easy to fit the lens and take ultra wide shotsPros:Crisp pictureswide angle shotsNo lens propertieseasy carry on caseno need to upgrade phone each yearuniversal support to any modern phonesCons:bit heavydirect sunlight lens glaretakes a while to adjust and find the right angle and spot

I was super excited when I first got my new LensUltra 10x Macro Lens! The unboxing was a treat—the package showed off what the lens can do with some cool before-and-after shots, making it clear how much it could up my photo game. The user guides were really easy to follow, which was awesome for getting started right away. It even came with a protective case, which is perfect for keeping the lens safe. Attaching it to my phone was a breeze with the phone mount it came with—I just screwed it on and boom, ready to go! Using this lens has been amazing. The details and magnification are incredible; I’m seeing and snapping pics of stuff I used to barely notice. The pictures turn out stunning. If you're into macro photography, definitely check this lens out. It’s a game-changer!

Poor quality. Lens is heavy and has poor optical quality. Does not work well with Iphone 15 Pro Max. This company does not stand behind their product. Do not be fooled by the packaging and advertising - this is another low quality product shipped from outside the US with no way for the end user to effect customer support. Avoid at all costs.

This product is way overpriced considering the slight improvement it brings to iPhone photos and the amount of adjusting you have to do just to make it focus. Contacted company to ask questions and never got a response. Not impressed

I bought the 75mm macro lens as I have been getting into photography. It is a cheaper alternative than traditional. I use it all the time, as its way more compact and faster to use with my phone. It is amazing how compact it is to carry around with you and how easy it is to set up. I'm love with wildlife, flowers, scenery and fine detail. The focus point is very fine so make sure you're focused on the area you want in detail. I would recommend this to family and friends as well. It's not suitable for just everyday photography but it is very precise. The loghting is okay. Wish it was a little clearer. The price is a little pricey for me but it does an amazing job. I like that it comes with a carrying case. Overall, I do enjoy this product and give it 4 stars.
