A warning to UK customers: You won't find Sandmarc lenses here in the UK so be aware that ordering Sandmarc lenses from the US might end up being a nightmare. I ordered lenses, filters, case, and carrying bag. It would be much easier to buy Shiftcam lenses . They are pretty good and available on Amazon UK for next day delivery at no shipping cost (If you are a prime member. if you are not then the shipping will be about £4 or something like that. The price of a pint) Unfortunately Shiftcam doesn't have nd filters so I chose Sandmarc. Sandmarc uses Fedex and Fedex uses a customs clearance company which is the worse thing I've experienced whilst shopping online. I've been ordering products from the US for about 15 years and never had an experience so surrealistic , so irritating and so unpleasant as I am having with the company Sandmarc uses to deal with customs in the UK. And the shipping was £40. If Shifcam had filters then it would be the best company to buy from. Not only because their lenses are good but because they have a big advantage over Sandmarc, Beastgrip, Moment etc: They have an in case lens mount for iPhone which is compatible with most iPhone cases. I have a UAG carbon fibre which is incredibly strong and protective. it's a body armour. I can use Shiftcam lenses with my UAG case thanks to Shifcam's case lens mount. The UAG is far stronger and more protective than Sandmarc or Shiftcam cases for iPhone. You can't even compare them. And forget about those clip mounts . They are just no good. As for differences between Shitcam, Moment, Beastgrip etc. They are actually pretty similar and the decision factor, as I see it , will be based on aspects other than quality of image. Which company offers more? I just hope Shiftcam will make filters soon. They have a complete line of lenses available, unlike Moment and Beastgrip where almost everything is sold out. And, unlike Sandmarc, they don't impose on you the nightmare of a customs clearance company from h...
It’s. A great lens, I’ve been using it on my iPhone 12 with filmicpro. Overall its great quality and really enhances your shots! I love this new niche for mobile rigs! Great video thanks for sharing.
It’s roughly the same focal length in the way it looks. But, when switching to iPhone “wide angle” mode, the quality drops drastically. The wide angle mode is basically unusable in my opinion.
Great video. I just purchased this lens for my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I’m struggling a bit on which phone lens to place the Sandmarc over for best wide angle. Seems best on the 2nd IPhone 12 Pro Max lens. Your thoughts.
Unfortunately I have the iPhone X.. so I won’t be of much help for the 12 or 13. But I would just test them both and zoom in as far as you can to see the full quality.

Yes I’ve really enjoyed using it. Thanks for your comment!
why dont you show the lens being mounted????????
You used the Sandmarc wide lens on the regular iPhone lens. Why not just use the iPhone's wide lens? Wouldn't the same apply to the tele lens?

Do you think it work for iPhone 8
Yes. But it would be the lens specific for the 8.
