    These are good to add a little extra to your photo taking. The one peice I like the best is the zoom.

    Unfortunately this did not work well, the pictures did not look as good as they do without the lens.

    Hard to line up lens with iphone. This is a cheap try at a telephoto lens for iPhone. More of a gimmick than a professional upgrade.

    I did not have high expectations and it did not live up to them. While it goes on fairly simply on my IPhone 6S, getting it really centered is a real challenge. Once it is on, The outer edges are blocked. It always displays only a circle in the middle. It is rare for my camera to focus it correctly.

    Doesn'the work well with a case on. Although it does give a nice vignette affect. Also, a bit tricky to focus while holding phone and lens. but does great job once you get it set. Especially for the price.

    We take a lot of pictures with our cell phones, so we thought we might try this out. It works well for the type of pictures we take, so we're pretty content with it.

    This doesn't work unless the phone isn't in a case. Just about any phone case will render it useless as it must be attached directly to the camera as it loses focus otherwise.

    The hardest thing is using this with certain cases. Which makes it a pain in many ways, but it's not costly. Which is why one expects, and gets, so so optics. But for when you need it, well, good to have.

    The picture taken with this zoom lens is very blurry even when you try to adjust the focus. I didn't expect a great quality clip on zoom lens for the price, but this was a complete waste of money.

    Ithe works ok not as expected. Needs better clip to hold lense. Also better instructions, I'm still messing with it. It's probably better but haven't figured it out.
