Detachable camera lens - With Sample Pictures - Xperia Z1 Accessories

I ordered one of the generic lenses for phone camera from amazon. These lenses are a good addition but not perfect.
You can check out the sample pictures here
Below is the order in which the pictures where uploaded.
1. Photo using the stock app. No lens,
2. Macro
3. Without Macro
4.Wide Angle
5.Macro
6.Attachment Rings
7.Fish Eye
8. Same subject as image #5 without macro lens
9.Macro
10. TeleZoom
Amazon Link.
I took the photos in Manual Mode with 20MP, Image stablisation On, Average Focus.

Very expensive for what it is, a quick search on Amazon or eBay and you will find much cheaper alternatives.

I was looking at few lenses available for smart phone and was thinking of picking them up and try them. Have you guys bough/tried any good lenses with the Z1? I was planning on getting this one.

I built one of these DIY microscope stands that uses the lens from a cheap laser pointer strapped to the phone: Smartphone-to-digital-microscope-conversion/
I've gotten some spectacular images (and video) of microscopic subjects.

hmm looks cool. But i was looking for something like the macro, zoom lenses. I dont see anything that is made for the Z1. Most are for the samsungs S3/4 or Iphones

I tried them out not very good picture quality cheap glass=crap results. But for the price if you want to see for yourself go ahead.

I saw your link and $19 for something like that is very expensive, you can find similar lens accessories for a lot less.

I ordered one of the detachable lenses from amazon and they are here!. Will test and post about them soon.

When you post please include some full resolution examples of the shots you have taken with the lens attached and for comparison purposes perhaps the same shot without the lens.

Is there a Zoom\ magnification lens for the EVO

I'd like to record some video of people wakeboarding behind the boat but they look so far away. IS there a lens that snaps\sticks on magnetically like the wide\macro lens?
Telephoto is what I am looking for. Amazon doesn't seem to have anything other than macro lenses.
I bought this and it works pretty well:

Camera Lens

I've heard there are attachable lens that can fit on your phone. Do these actually work or are they just scams?

No, its legit, they have accessory lenses for my S3 that turns the camera into a more powerful camera with more zoom and sharper focus, but it looks tacky when its attached, the lens sticks out like two to three inches unzoomed and appears to extend out to five inches or so.

I use the magnetic lens from Photojojo. I actually put the stick- on ring on my OEM OnePlus case, then stick whichever lens I'd like to use. I've got the wide angle, macro, fisheye, and telephoto. They work great. The macro lens is VERY amazing. It let's you get extremely close!
Hope this helps!
P.S. I'm not affiliated with photojojo. Just a happy customer.

Here ya go: http://photojojo.com/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses?a6nv
Enjoy!
Also, if you're into photography like me... I bought a cell phone tripod mount on Amazon for cheap & also a Bluetooth shutter trigger. Both are handy for macro shooting. Gets rid of the little movement out hands make - that totally ruin macro shots.

alternative view: superwide is super useless

Ok, perhaps an overstrong heading! But this is just my opinion - I actually don't find the superwide nearly as useful as I thought I would. First of all, the quality isn't great and secondly the distortion from it being such a small lens makes it interesting, but not particularly useful. It's especially bad if people are in the picture. I'm really interested to know where people have used it where it actually added some value.

I wouldn't agree for main camera superwide, i managed to took some nice pics that i couldn't capture otherwise, quality is not the point here, but what you can capture with it.
BUT! my real question is, what is the freaking point of 2 cameras on front?They make almost no difference between each other..

You can't actually use the second camera on the front it is just solely for depth information to the other sensor

Then what does the switch does?It changes between 2 what if not cameras, and angle changes just a bit.

It crops it. All from one sensor cover the one up and try it. Still will switch between cropped and not

I see now, still i think that button it pointless, it does nothing, its minimum crop, can someone explain me actually the point of it?

Extremely useful when travelling and trying to take pictures of architecture. Most cities in the world are very dense and objects are large, with limited space to position yourself for a photo. Your only choice here is to carry an ultra-wide lens. Most of my pictures from my recent trip to Vienna were done in ultra-wide. Stick it into DxO ViewPoint and correct the geometry and you have fantastic photos.
For me, Its a useful option in the right situations...
It's useless until you need it. I thought it was the useless but when in a tight space where you need to capture more area in your photo, the wide angle is extremely useful. Happens a lot to me when I take photos for site inspections (construction job).

Or taking a photo for a group of people and the space is somewhat tight you cant go so much backwards
Completely useful since I remember in my LG G6 u can capture interesting perspectives.

Has anyone tried any clip on Camera Accessories?

Has anyone tried any clip on camera accessories, like a macro lens or zoom lens?
(Mostly interested in a 2x zoom, or even better a 10x or 20x)
Do pics come out okay using these?
Recommendations?

I have a set of some from amazon. Like $40. The clip on is decent, just can slide around easily. Pics come out pretty decent. https://www.amazon.com/CoPedvic-Sam...hone+lens&qid=1606091684&sr=8-5&tag=hydsma-20. Might not be exact set, but make sure that the lens slider will reach your main camera. A universal set might be best. I Tried to upload pics, but too big and errors on uploading.
Thanks.
Could you put links to some pics you took with it, especially the zoom?
I've seen many where the first center is good, but the rest of the pic is blurry and such.
