Bought the olloclip package for the macro lens- definitely can get some unique shots. Wish it fit a bit tighter to my iPhone 7. The fish eye feature is fun, the wide angle could be better. Got this package on clearance because the new package doesn’t include the macro- glad I didn’t pay full price. Fun to use though.

It is quick and easy to slide on and off to flip the lenses...if you don’t have a case on your phone. Otherwise you need to buy a new “compatible” case if you want your phone protected while taking photos.

Best lens attachments for the iPhone

I've used previous Olloclip lenses, and always been satisfied with them, but these take a great product and make it even better. First, and most importantly, the image quality is fantastic. Is it as good as an expensive lens on an SLR? No, of course not. The ultra wide is pretty distorted with a lot of softening on the edges and the fisheye is COMPLETELY fisheye, with no rectilinear correction. But these are lenses for a phone! Though it may be soft on the edges, the ultra wide gives you a fantastic field of view that's ideal for capturing tight situations and broad vistas. The Olloclip macro lenses are also great, but you've got to be prepared for super shallow depth of field.
What makes this latest version score over the others is the modular lens attachment system. You can remove each lens from the clip and replace it with another, which allows you to create custom configurations to suit your needs. And the fact that the clip doubles as a stand is a great bonus. This is a fantastic package that will greatly expand your iPhone photography.

The olloclip does a fine job with wide angle and fish eye shooting. It’s relatively easy to slip on and off.
The problems: 1. The instructions suck and I had to get a Geek Squad member to help me use it. 2. The zoom lens only works if you “purchase” an app. Instructions say there’s several apps available but only suggests one and it costs $7.00. I don’t know which other apps do the same job. 3. You cannot use this lens with your iPhone protective case on. That’s a lot of time and aggravation to take the case off and back on, especially if you have an Otter Box.

I bought this for my daughter, she wanted to be able to take more creative photos with her phone. I didn't know much about the lens attachments and looked at several brands that were in stock. The ease of the Olloclip fitting the iPhone was far better than the universal type and the ease of changing the different lenses was much better than the others.
I especially liked the convenience of all lenses and mount are together and easy to carry with out fumbling around with individual pieces. The lenses are high quality and take clear photos with the desired results she was looking for.

I wanted this to be great. But you have to remove your phone case. Who wants to hold their fragile phone without a case AND with a weighted item attached to one end?? Its a recipe for disaster. Also of you have the glass screen protector it will cause it to crack because of the tension. Its not a bad crack. Just at the edge. But how that will effect the screen protector in the long run is anyones guess. I have used several times ONLY while seated to reduce risk of dropping. It works ok. Nothing fantastic. The macro lens is the best of the 3 lenses.

The lens are only good for wide angle or the fishbowl effect look. My iPhone takes better pictures without the lens.

I love these lenses, they work great, but the problem is that if you don't have the proper case for them you have to take yours off, and you can't have a tempered glass screen either otherwise it cracks it.
Great lenses, but if you plan on using them a lot I recommend getting the case.

I would have gave this a 5 star, but with a zagg glass on its a very tight fit and it does break the glass. But it does take great pictures.

These lenses are awesome. I’m in love with the micro one in particular. It’s pretty cool for getting super close ups. The wide angle really does give a better picture and well the fish eye is cool, why wouldn’t you want a pic like that?

This unit fit good. When I tightened it onto the phone, my screen protector cracked. There goes another $30.00. There should have been a warning about screen protectors.
