 Tiny awsomeness! Oct 06, 2011
By Melissa
I decided to buy this lens because I noticed several people posting macro photographs taken with their phones in Instagram and they're amazing. It's very small, so you can take it anywhere. It attaches magnetically, but if your phone doesn't have a metal surface, it comes with a "glued" metal ring (and a spare ring) that you stick to your phone and then attach the lens. It's a 2 in 1 combo lens, as seen in the picture it's a wide lens, you can unscrew it and then the tiny part works as a macro lens. For the price I think it works beautifully, the details are almost perfect. You have to practice though, at first is very tricky to find out how close you have to get to the subject your photographing. I definitely recommend this item, every time a show it people just love it!

 Wide lens wont auto-focus on my E4GT... Dec 09, 2011
By vulcz
I could be doing something wrong, but the wide lens doesn't auto-focus at all. I can only take pictures of things within a few inches away or else the picture is completely blurry. Changing my phone's focus mode does nothing :( The macro lens, on the other hand, works magnificent.
Also, the whole mounting mechanism is pretty well. My phone doesn't have a metal base (I believe it's Al) so I had to use one of the rings. It stuck on just fine and the magnet system seems solid.
Wish I could get the wide angle to work though. Gonna try it on my brother's iPhone (I'm using a Galaxy S II, the Sprint version).
EDIT: Updated my review to 4 stars; I was able to get the wide angle to work! Turns out the magnetic ring on my lens wasn't installed properly (QC problem?). I had to remove it and re-apply so that it would sit evenly and almost flush. Before it was sticking out quite a bit. After doing that my images were in focus.

good tool Oct 04, 2011
By ken
"average guy with opinion"
I do quite a bit of construction photography and often it is hard to get a good shot of the whole room if it is small. This makes it possible. I rarely get the circle effect around the edges. If you know how to use photoshop you can re-stretch the photo around to suit your needs. This thing is handy. However, it doesn't make a dramatic difference on how much you can get into the shot. also look at the fisheye. if you can only afford one then the fisheye is the first one i would pick.

Great closeups with the macro Mar 26, 2012
By E. Cook
I use this little gadget for getting closeups of plants in the woods near home. The macro lens does capture amazing detail. I can't comment on the fisheye lens. (Perhaps someday I'll think of a reason why I would need one.)
Pros:
- Captures the tiniest details.
- Small and portable.
- Easy to attach & detach.
- Includes several different metal ring-shaped mounts. I think they would accommodate a variety of phones without blocking the flash. (The ring I selected fits under my iPhone case, but the case needs to be removed to attach the lens to the mount.)
Cons:
- Only focuses at a VERY close and very fixed distance... any breeze/wiggle can make it hard to capture a clear image. Seems fussier than my SLR's macro.
- Small and easy to lose. It falls off easily because it is just held in place by magnetism. Don't rely on the lanyard! You really need to pocket it after use.
- Instructions are clearly written by a non-native English speaker. But, with a little imagination, they are decipherable. It's really not so complicated as to require instructions in the first place.
- My iPhone's case interferes with it's attachment. My phone must be undressed to use the lens... not a huge problem for me.
This lens is not quite as good as a "real" macro on a "real" camera. That said, its portability, and the fact that it works with my iPhone is fantastic. Overall, I am very pleased to have it!

Neat gadget Mar 18, 2012
By mason
These lenses really do work! I had to use the stick-on metal ring on my Iphone for the magnetic lens to be able to mount on my phone. Neat little things to mess around with at a cheap price.
