Having Fun With A Macro Lens

[penmanila]

As my Christmas gift to myself, I got a Moment macro lens for my iPhone 7 plus--not cheap at around $100 for the lens, the mount, and shipping via UPS--but I think it's going to be worth every cent, thinking of all the fun I'm going to have with this accessory.

This is what the lens looks like (it screws into a mount), and here's more info about it in case you're interested. Because of the variable mounts, it works with about 25 iOS and Android devices.

And here are my first test shots:

Very nice. I bought a cheap set to try and it was worthless.

Wow that works great!

Very impressive pictures!

That is fun. Made me look at their site, too.

I haven't heard of MOMENT. I have an OLLOCLIP. Same thing, different maker.

Very impressive quality!

I'm impressed how good this works. Well worth the money I think.

There's sort of an interesting depth-of-field/focus thing going on there too, with the coins--for a phone.

thanks for all the positive comments. haven't had time to do more tests, but i suspect i've barely scratched the surface here. there's dedicated software that comes with the lens and i haven't explored that yet.
