special lenses for iPhone camera?

[☠northy]

Hi there...

Over the years i've made a few attempts at using camera lenses for the iPhone with middling results. On balance i've found them a bit frustrating to use - either difficult to attach and keep attached to the phone, or requiring a special case, or having to fiddle with removing a case when i wanted to use it.

Anyway, it occurs to me that advances may have been made and perhaps there are some new options worth exploring and i thought i'd check in here to see what suggestions you may have.

I wouldn't be looking for any major kit, but i am toying with the idea of perhaps a macro attachment.

Happy to hear any and all input!
tx!

I have no information to assist you but am also thinking about those iPhone lenses. Looking forward to hearing people’s recommendations

A friend of mine is using this macro — I’m planning to get one too, the one I got from eBay years ago is not that sharp and has already lots of scratches so I need to get a new one.Here’s the link if interested. https://www.amazon.com/Xenvo-iPhone-Camera-Lens-Clip/dp/B01A6D2JVI/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1H6S23Y2EWLHZ&dchild=1&keywords=macro+lenses+for+iphone&qid=1594183235&sprefix=Macro+lenses%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-3

@joemuli thanks Joey. Unfortunately Amazon don’t ship this to Australia. I did manage to find it on Amazon AU but at four times the price 😩

I have found that the Lensbaby iPhone lenses are a well made, easy to attach and not all that expensive ($99) you get three for that price.

Also, Moment lenses, they have a wide angle that is wonderful. ( https://www.shopmoment.com/lenses )
