They are awesome. I saw some guy use a macro lens on an i phone to capture some great shots if I can find his thread I'll post.

May consider getting one to. I hear the iPhone ones work good. Which lens you looking at? I'd be going with macro myself

I don't have one of these but I got a large one that attaches to my phone for zooming and it kinda sucks.
These ones look very cool though and I would definitely be interested in trying one out

I bought one for iPhone 5 and one for the galaxy 4. The camera is better on the galaxy which is my ladies phone. Sort of why its hard for me to post pics. I'll let you guys see the results

Yeah, I have trouble taking pics with my iphone under my LEDs. Everything is washed out blue and it's hard to see the true colors.

I went ahead and brought in the wide lense/macro lense in just to give it a try and post a review to everyone. I am using an Iphone 5. Here is the biggest issue I had with it. You basically need to be on top of the objects in order to take a picture, and I mean basically touching the subject. In order to get pictures I needed to place some of my coral right up against the glass so I could get a shot. Forget about trying to get a nice macro of one of your prized colonies that sits deeper into the tank, zooming in on your phone only makes things worse. Now for the good. For the price you pay if you can get on top of your coral I was actually amazed in some of the good shots that I got by just playing around for a few minutes. Here are a few of the pictures I took.      All and all if you just want a quick way to take a few macro shots its not bad because of the cheap price, just don't expect to be able to take incredible macros of your entire reef tank. |

Great shots, just got one last night with the same results. Literally has to be no more than an inch away or it won't focus. Sent from my HTC ONE |
