So that was the first phone camera accessory I’ve ever tried :O Have you guys used any accessories for filming and photographing on your phone? What are your thoughts on them? I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of using something like a cinema filter or bloom filter on the phone 🤔

[@CreatorDrews]

Phone accessories don't have stabilization or autofocus! Lens usually have connector to talk to the camera, but in this case it doesn't !

[@EVN96]

The image has gotten softer, not so much to expect, anyway, thanks for the insight steph ❤

[@motonagam]

I didn't know a lens like this exists for our phones. Great video!

[@StephanieLin]

Thank you for watching! :D

[@abehsieh3483]

Where can i see the full photos?

[@SGAndyAng]

Not bad. But I would say minimal use case, esp with the fast falling off of sharpness towards the edge and bad chromatic aberration.
Any idea what is the aperture size? (Or how many f-stops added to the iPhone lenses?)

[@StephanieLin]

Yeah! I think you have to really know what you want to use it for before purchasing one. I assume it'll be the same if I were to purchase a super long prime telephoto lens 😆 No idea about aperture size

[@davidcassoday5932]

Do you know what size filters can be used with this lens?

[@StephanieLin]

I think it has to be SANDMARC's filters 🤔 It said on the product page that the telephoto comes included with a filter mount so you'll likely have to use that (not sure where mine is...) The specs for SANDMARC filters are: Inner Diameter - 43 mm, Outer Diameter - 60 mm

[@Sherman8263]

does it work with my iphone 13 pro max?

[@StephanieLin]

Yes it does! www.sandmarc.com/products/telephoto-6x-lens-edition-iphone-13-pro-max

[@CreatorDrews]

I can see some use cases for it 🤔 your video quality is good tho heh

[@StephanieLin]

Tripod helps immensely!!

[@gamingmisthios]

Can this be used in pixel phones?

[@StephanieLin]

This one is iPhone only!

[@nothing533]

Too soft
