Thankfully, it’s reasonably well protected if you fit the supplied bayonet-fit hood. Diagonal fisheye primesĭespite being a diagonal rather than circular fisheye lens, this Samyang has a very bulbous and protruding front element.

Unlike some of the other available lenses for iPhone and Android camera phones (opens in new tab), lenses from Moment can only be fitted to either a specialist Moment Case or those that are fitted with a 3D printed drop-in lens mount.

This M-series lens is perfect for those wanting to up their smartphone photography game in a fun way, ideal for those wanting to give the process of shooting fisheye a try, before committing to a costlier lens that's compatible with a DSLR or mirrorless camera body. A compatible Moment phone case or drop-in lens mount is required to use this lens and offers seamless integration with a twist feature that locks the lens securely onto your device and won't easily fall off. Practical for both wide shots and even a bit of macro photography, this fisheye lens from Moment is great for capturing a wider scene with a creative flair. Such a modification requires a radical repositioning of the lens to chip distance.When shooting on a full ratio, the fisheye effect is softened Add this backwards telephoto to your cellphone and the focal length is impressively changed to give about a 180° field of view. It works like looking through binoculars backward. What about a “fish-eye” supplemental? This is a special design. That will change the power of the array by only a fraction of a millimeter. How much does the “macro” alter this array? Not much! The typical “supplemental” close-up lens is a +3 as to power.

Add a “macro” to this and you again alter the focal length. Thus revised focal length is 1mm shorter and the result is a wider angle of view.

We multiply the exiting focal length by 0.67 to discover the power of the combination. Your wide-angle supplemental lens is labeled 0.67. A negative powered supplemental lens delivers a wider angle whereas a positive power supplemental allows closer focusing than usual. This results in a change is the angle-of-view. If you mount an additional lens atop a “normal” camera lens, the power of the optical system is altered. The interesting thing about short lenses is, a short focus lens is less critical as to focus distance as compared to its larger kinsfolks. That’s short, compare to a film camera that typically spots a 50mm lens. A super tiny imaging chip such as the type used in cellphones calls for camera lens that is approximately 3 millimeters in focal length. We fit lenses to cameras based on the size of the imaging chip. The cellphones we carry sport super tiny cameras. If critical focus is to be achieved, the lens must be repositioned base on subject distance. The distance lens to chip is a variable based on the closeness or farness of the object being photographed. If the lens is too close or too far away from the chip, the image will be blurred. The camera lens gathers light rays from outside world and projects these rays so an image forms on the surface of a digital sensor chip at the rear of the camera.
