I used this on an iPhone 6 plus. It sits a title awkward and I didn't really notice much of a difference.

Great lens once you get it attached but doesn't fit well on all androids. Pixel resolution is good for the type of lens you are working with.

This takes a while to get it properly installed over the camera lens, but once on, the zoom is really good . Needs a steady hand if you also use the software zoom on the iPhone but good pics

Even after stabilizing my phone, this zoom lense did not work well. The focus mainly working in the middle of the lense and is very sensitive. It just did not work up to my expectations and so I returned mine. The other set of three lenses which includes a macro lense worked out well!

Add zoom to your phone camera

Add zoom to your phone camera. Universal fit, but doesn't fit all phones. Good idea, and you can focus the lens also.

Too shaky

And it clicked on easily and was easy to use. The problem was you had to hold it so still and it still came out blurry anyway. Even when I Braced it against something it still was shaky. This caused the pictures to be blurry. I would not recommend this product.

A great idea that doesn't quite work

With many venues limiting the use of professional cameras, this seemed like the perfect solution. The only thing is that you need to remove any case you have on your phone and then it clips very precariously. With a manual zoom and focus knob, there is a great chance you will knock the lens off before you get your shot. Far as I can see, this is $15 down the drain.

Great product to get started. My only complaint is that the lenses tend to be blurry around the edges and there is a black circular ring around the photo. The best way to minimize this is to remove any case on your phone and attach the lens directly to it. I also wish there was a way adjust focus on macro and wide angle lenses.

Easy to use !!! If your eyes are good it's easy to focus and you get a great picture!!! The only downside at all to this product is the clip to put it on does not fit over my case for my phone. Not a big deal, but just know that the case needs to be removed.

Difficult to keep in place, the grip to the device is poor. The lense is nothing of special. Quality coherent with price: little. Good if you need it for have fun.

Couldn't get the lens to work on my iPhone. Very difficult to use. Can't align it properly. Couldn't use at all.
