Universal 3 in 1 Camera Lens Kit for Smart phones

I've been a professional fashion/advertising photographer and yes, I have the big guns (Canons, of course). But I have to admit that I'm rather amazed at what can be produced by a my iPhone 5 these days. Being used to spending six or more figures on lenses for my professional equipment, I was very interested in what capabilities I could gain for my iPhone for basically the price of a small pizza. After exhaustively comparing all the offerings online, I placed my bet on this set by CamKix and I wasn't disappointing. The images were pretty decent - enough to amaze my friends with lesser standards. Well worth the $15 strictly for the added pocket full of fun.

Note. I had one small dissapointment, which was an imperfection on the glass coating where apparently a tiny bubble caused a clear spot. It doesn't perceptively affect the images as the focal length is beyond the glass. No biggee. At these prices, these things are practically disposable. These things would make good stocking stuffers come Christmas.

By Mickey (New Jesey) on December 28, 2013 : This is a slick little kit that I took a chance on just to see what is possible with a smart phone camera. I had just picked up a Galaxy S4 and of course a new phone needs new accessories, right? The fish eye lens alone is well worth the price of admission. It does exactly as advertised. The Macro and Wide angle also do as advertised but neither produce the "wow" factor I was looking for like the fish eye does. Each lens screws (and unscrews) from the clip (which is padded where it makes contact with the phone) and you simply line the accessory lens up using the phone's camera view until the clip body is no longer visible to the phone's camera. This sounds more complicated than it is and usually takes me less than 5 to 10 seconds to get right.

The only negative aspect to the kit is probably unique to my phone and that is simply that the clip interferes with the built-in flash which essentially renders the flash unusable. Certainly not a deal breaker at this price point, but it is a minor annoyance. And like I mentioned earlier, the fish-eye alone makes the whole package a great deal, flash or no flash.

By Lesley United States on December 21, 2013 :

You get money's worth. I don't know about others but for $15, I'm really glad with this purchase. If you're expecting some high end quality lenses for a phone, then look somewhere else. By that, I don't mean to devalue the capabilities of these lenses. These work very well with the iPhone 5, and the great thing about it is that it is a clip-on, so you can use it for majority of the smartphones out right now. I tried it on the HTC One X and seemed to work without any complications. The only problem that I can think of is that when I use it for the front facing camera, there are two circular bands of light that is located at the dead center of the frame so it kind of messes up the pictures. Would bump up the review to five stars if it weren't for this problem. Oh and the carrying pouch is a little too exact for the lenses, I would have preferred a slightly bigger bag for it. But I'm overall satisfied! Also the representatives that I've spoken to are friendly and do what they can to help you out with any questions. So that's a plus too!

By Hoan (Texas) on December 19, 2013 : If you are looking to enhance your photo-taking abilities on your phone, this is a great kit to buy. It comes with several different lenses (macro/wide angle and fish-eye), a lens holder which simply clips over the edge of your phone, and a cleaning cloth.

Set up is fairly easy- screw the lens you want to use into the holder and clip it onto your phone. That's really all you need to do. The downside to this is the clip doesn't fit *neatly* on the phone, therefore you can't just tuck the whole setup into your pocket or purse and whip it out when you want to take a photo.

However, for the price, the kit can't be beat. It's great fun, the lenses are decent quality, and it opens up all sorts of new photography opportunities for your iPhone.
