Budget Telephoto Lens Battle! // Ulanzi vs Apexel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2021
- Today, 1 year after originally reviewing them, I'm revisiting and comparing the popular Ulanzi and Apexel 2x telephoto lenses in an epic budget telephoto lens battle!
Which has better image quality? Which is better made? Which comes with more accessories? Which is better value? And do either of them actually provide 2x magnification???

Who's here before 4K has finished processing? 😆... Really impressed after visiting these 2 again. My affiliate links are in the description if you want to buy either of them!
I'm here after xD great review once again David. Cheers from Porto mate.
Thanks! I love Porto, can’t wait to go back
The video ive been waiting for. 🤩 Tks man
No problem 👍
Hi David…I am using this lens for video,on the iphone SE 2020 with the lens attachment case. The alignment is perfect, but still there is visible blur on sides and edges. Inorder to get rid of this, I need to zoom in either in the camera or crop in while editing. Both ways, I am losing resolution.
Is there a way to solve this?
Super helpful..... Thank you for your time and accurate analyses....
Hi David interesting video! It was interesting to see the comparison between the budget lenses! It would be interesting to see the budget lenses vs moment lenses. And how ho they work with the moment app? Thanks for all the hard work you put into the videos!
Hey David,
Great review as always, I love the video and am about to get myself the Ulanzi, my user case is however a bit unusual and would love to get your opinion. My selfie camera 25 MP Camera Sensor is amazing for my use case, unfortunately with no AF function, hence no Bokeh/DOF, can I mount and use this to get some DOF filming with my selfie Camera (video) ? Have you tried that yet or could you? Thanks in advance
wish you do a review of Ulanzi 75mm Macro vs APEXEL 100mm Macro
Have you tried Kase 65mm lens?
Could you make a comparison?
Thank you. Great work by the way.
The ending was a nice surprise. Was not expecting it at all.
Salutări din România(Timișoara). Keep up the great work.
I have an iPhone 12 with a Ulanzi case and an Apexel lens. It is said that the screw is same, but the thread on my Apexel 2x lens seems different?? There is a 5mm gap between the phone lens and the back lens of the Apexel.
Could you confirm if you also have this gap? I don't have the Ulanzi lens.
Hai, Which is the best focal length lens for mobile portrait photography If the object (consider a dog) is under 50ft distance.
The best part of the Apexel is that it is able to attach other lenses on top because it has those slots after the lens. I use the Apxel 2x and on top of it I place a Macro lens, the results are extremely interesting, and all in the practicality of just attaching one to the other
May I know what kind of macro lens did you attached? Did it cause some distortions on edges?
Hi David, just a quick question. Will the two lenses fit on the Reeflex case?
Which one is best for iphone 13 pro selfie cam? Thx
Bro they are 2x means 65mm?? If so what about 3X 4x -85-135mm lens for mobile?
Do both lenses create a vignette effect when placed over the main lens?
Thank you for such a nice review and for mentioning an important information about Apexel compatibility on mounting case, and this will move me to my question. Although I admire the mounting system of Ulanzi I am still loving my current case for many reasons. I liked the idea of mounting system made by moment and shiftcam (i.e. using drop-in lens separately from the case so you can use whatever case you want). So I wonder, is it compatible with Ulanzi or Apexel lens? If so this will solve my problem. Your response is really appreciated.
Which is best ??? Apexel or ulanzi
Thx for the great review!
Glad it was helpful!
Can somebody please test if any of these telephoto lens work with Xperia 1V or 5V main sensor?
The best Review about apexel telephoto tks!
Hi, can you send me some Raw made with the Ulanzi 65mm? I do astrophotography with cell phone, and I was researching this model of lens. I already use a 135mm, but I would like to have one with a shorter focal length, but it's kind of hard to find a cell phone that doesn't have a lot of distortion...
video was really good buddy :) keep up the good work
Thanks a lot Yatindra!
Do these work with the Samsung Galaxy A52?
In my case, I'm a makeup artist and I have an iPhone 13, but portrait is only getting 1x, but I need 2x. Could you please suggest me the best lens pls pls
Is ulanzi compatible with realme 8?
Did you record the portion of this video at 1:09 with iPhone 12 pro?
Just found your channel, have you done any astrophotography using your mobile?
I have ulanzi 65mm and it’s awesome but is to heavy weight. More depth of field background. I’m trying some video with kase 135mm and is amazing blur but a lot distortion.
Kase 135 mm it is 4x?
What is best choicw for you?
Hey amazing job again and again and again! David, can you find a 3x,4x x5 budget telephoto lens?
Thanks Diego. I think the bigger the focal length, the worse they get but I can have a look 👍
Thx for comparison
im really thinking of going with the Ulanzi with all the pros, the only thing that lets me down is the inability to screw in filters in front of it, something that the Apexel can do.
Really? Did you purchase them? Am considering the apexel but worried it wouldn't take a variable ND or it will work with a 82° main camera?
In my case APEXEL wins !!! I have an iphone 12 and 2x apexel lens and 2x ulanzi with a dedicated case. Apexel has less zoom than ulanzi but does not create distortion. On the other hand, Ulanzi creates distortion at the edges, even with a cover and is difficult to remove !!!
By the way, good videos and nice hairstyle !!
Can you put apexel lens to ulanzi case?
Maximum to what distance this lens can give portrait photos.?
Have you got any answer ?? I really want to knoww
5 stars review!
david, you're my guy
im using pixel 4a . by any chance the Ulanzi lens is compatible with my device? planning to buy
Yes. But I'm using a pixel 7 so i am not sure about mine
Does these lens gives almost the same quality of moment lens?
This other video I made should answer your question ruclips.net/video/08sZMsW_WMQ/видео.html
Can these lenses provide a bit more of bokeh?
I wish newer versions of both products would launch
Yeah, that'd be great. They've both been around a while now.
Hi David. Make a review on NightCap Camera app please))
A few people have suggested it so I’ll look into it ☺️
Cool app for starlapse etc 3$ worth for it
I have ulanzi but its only sharp in the middle while all the corner is blurred
Is it aligned properly?
nice haircut. for me it would be the Ulanzi. I just have all the time my moment case on my iPhone, so they will not work with it
I'm looking at Moment cases now, how did you get one in Malta?
@@David_Addison waiiiit not Moment, that was for my old Pixel, I got the polar pro light chaser thingy...
but I can use moment lenses with it :D : D
Thanks Armin! I don’t know many brands at the moment.
New Haircut 👌🏾
Fresh start 😁
Mantap sanget bos ku hasil nya keren
why there is not a single good telephoto lens more than 2x ? something like 5x or 10x ??
There are many search in aliexpress
Try kase 300mm
Can you use it as a selfie 🤳 lens
Not really, it's very close.
I will be on Instagram live and put the camera about 4 feet away from me
That should work then right lol
In that case it’ll be fine.
You should give the moment lenses a try they are really good!
I would but they cost an arm and leg lol
No 3x or 5x? 2x really doesn't make enough of a difference for me...
what happened, where is the hair?
😂 I shaved it. Fresh start 💪
@@David_Addison success in this new beginning.
What a useless video. Doesn't even show what the image looks like without the lens converter on so we can't even see the difference.
