[REVIEW] 8xZoom,Macro,Fisheye,Wide Lens(Picture Heavy)

I don't have a steady hand and I forgot to bring my tripod to work so the zoomed in pictures might look blurry. I'm pretty sure I could take a clear picture with the zoom lens if I used a tripod mount. I'm also going to mod my extended battery mod so I can glue on the metal adhesive ring and the black 8xzoom mount so I dont have to use the clear case it came with and don't have to worry about running out of batteries when I take pictures.

The product quality is fine.Its not the greatest but definitely worth the money. The adhesive on the ring is a little weak so i had to use super glue to attach it to my battery cover. The picture quality is the same as if you had no lens on. I just couldnt keep a steady hand. The 8x zoom case feels sturdy but i wouldnt use it as an everyday case. I tried removing the black latch that holds onto the telescope to mod it onto my battery cover, and i broke it.. so ill be ordering a new one.

Got these. Not liking the fisheye that much but macro is simply amazing. Here are some pictures

But just how should I be using the zoom lens?
I just got one of the 8x zoom lenses but not the fisheye. I'm wondering just how I'm supposed to use it--do I leave the camera's built-in zoom alone (i.e., leave it at 1x) and then just twist the adjuster on the zoom lens itself? I'm finding that I can't get a steady enough hand, even with "anti shake" on, to get any kind of decent shot.

i got something very similar to this:

takes some modifying, but got it working with my otterbox defender case

Improve the quality of photos replacing lens covers

First sorry for my English
I found a solution to the poor quality of the photos from the original lens covers.
Of cusualidad I realized that the lens covers original is the same size as the lens covers a Iphone4
Here the tests and installed the lens covers...
With the original:

:good:

The photo with your original lens is very strange, so poor quality and seems that your lens is dirty.
I never had so bad pictures has you have, nevertheless it's was a good workaround that you found that can improve the camera quality....

How do you replace it?
Spanish: Como lo cambiastes?

nice diy but stock lens is not this much blurry

If you clean your lens....you would have nicer pictures

My lens is scratched and camera take's shi*y pictures, i have G almost for a year, but my htc incredible s is 2.6 years old and there is no scratches on lens wtf?

Can we change the lens with lens like G2's. It is stronger to straches then G's lens.

The photos i take with the default lens are no that blurry, i think its not neccesary to change the lens

In my case I removed a layer that sits on the lens cover, the pictures looked great .

Does the iphone4 lens cover size match 1:1 the stock lens cover?

I want to replace my lens too , how to take down the original lens , and how to mount the new one ?

the lens are attached only with glue, you have to take the 2 screw to open the back housing and then push the lens from inside very carefully, then just replace with the iphone or a working lens, for my case was an old samsung model lens.

Lens attachment solutions?

Hello everyone, I thought I'd post and ask if any one here uses a Lens attachment solution? Examples as Telescoping/Zoom, Wide Angle, or Fisheye lens. How are your experiences with the products? I'm planning on a trip to Europe, and don't want to carry a P&S Camera and a my HTC, so i want to just take great pictures with my HTC10 and have better lens solutions.
any help and experiences is greatly appreciated.

Looking for the best lens for the money HTC10
Bump up ale :silly:

Hello,
i got such a solution today cheap 10 € (noname). I can write you down some of my expirience here. It features a clipon solution, is delivered in a box with dust protection caps. Very handy to take with. It is absolute no professional solution but it is indeed fun to play with. I noticed a big amount of unsharpness in the corners which i think is related to the autofocus of the stock camera. I will try to attache some sample pictures.
- Fisheye
- 2x Zoom teleobjective (fixed 2x)
- 180° Fisheye
- 0.67 Wide (combined with macro below):
- Macro
So basically you can just screw all those lenses on the clipon. It is possible to attache the mounted clip in a way such that it does not cover the autofocus and laser. But it is not as sticky as i would want it. So it can move around on the lens. That is an issue since it the objectives or lenses have to be centered absolutetly in the mid to feature the best result. On the backside on the contact surface to the lens, theres some kind of rubber to protect the phone and lens from scratching.
Another thing i noticed is that the camera itselves has to look into something like a tunnel. So when i perfectly center those lenses physically i have to zoom in ca. 50 percent to get rid of the black rim. (Tunnelview). Resulting in loss of quality.
Theres a big amount of unsharpness at the outer rim of all my pictures. My personal favourite is the 2x zoom.
So heres some pictures (I am still no expert and i have to play with that stuff a bit):
- A photo of a swan with 2x zoom lens and max zoom of smartphone. Without the lense the swan and the people would be pixels only on that distance the lake is 230 metres at this point, so the swan is probably ca. 200 metres away:

- A photo of a small duckling i (The reason i wanted to get such lens). Since they are such shy that i am not able to take a photo of it from an possible distance max zoom + lens also:
-
- Test with the Fisheye:
- Test with the Macro Lens (rotten leaf):
-
About the macro Lens i have to say it is such effective that i have to get such dangling close to the object that if it was a butterfly or something i would scare it to hell for sure. And my hand was shaky because it was cold there i could not manage to get it sharp.
Hope this helps you.

Since i had really great results with the 2x lens heres another pictures:
Closeup of a young swan with 2x
:
Very closeup of a rotten dead tree killed by insects with 2x:
And here a photo from the same place with 2x lense where my skillevel just lacked in the one. And in the another it was better.
So i hope you can make you a picture from a 10 € solution. And no! This will not make a DSLR with 5000 € teleobjective out of your smartphone. And it is a bit disguisting to keep the clipped lens attached in the mid, while walking. So if you want to take quick snapshots with those lenses it is better to not put the phone into a bag. Or you will have to refit it and reinput your zoom settings, etc.

Oh, i totally forgot to show you what kind of type this solution was. Since this article was bought used, and i can not find a manufacturer or type on the parts i have to say "noname". Pic:
And as you can see on this picture the Autofocus or Focus seems to cause blurr too even without attached extra lens. So i have to maybe get into using this properly. It takes time to play with. And it is really fiddly to attach it properly. Nothing for quickies.

I have found these clip-on style are just ok. Fish eye wasn't all that great, and the wide angle looked more like taking a photo through a pair of binoculars. You could see the sides of the lens. They're cheap, so you get what you pay for.

This hits it in short.
I was personally interested in maybe some NFC or bluetooth attached camera review (opinion). Whilst i think they are way too expensive. I would maximum pay 50 € for such. ). 500 $ is like a punch in the face. Look for a real camera for 500 €.
And also i was interested in one of these bigger telezoom clip on thingies. With e.g. 12x or such.
You can find a lot reviews on this things on youtube. Some for the very cheap camera lenses "sound" very negative. But do not forget the fun. Nothing professional.
And binoculars work fine instead of a specific lens. Just hold it infront and try yourselves

Do you have a link for the clipon lens?

Nö sorry there are several similar available. I bought mine used. There is no vendor imprint. Just have a look at e.g. something like Amazon. I would not pay more than 10 Euro.

Unboxing
The product is packaged into a little hard case, enough to contain some various accessories such as 2x Lens Holder, 1x Pouch, 1x User Manual and the two Lens with a cover for each one.
Build Quality is superb, with a full-metal body for each lens, unfortunately painted in gold (not a fan of this color). Each lens feels super solid and well polished.
As regards the Wide Angle/Macro lens, it is a 2-in-1 variant, meaning that the same lens do both things. It is possible to switch from Wide to Macro just by removing the biggest part.
Each lens holder is made of plastic with a rubbery part for the other end, and it keeps the lens tight enough while keeping enough flex.
The part that goes on the smartphone's camera, basically the main lens, features a circled sealing that allows to insulate properly the contact.
Photos Quality
All tests have been made using my Redmi Note 4 Global, and it seems that this device doesn't like any third-party lens, probably because its lens is already too much wide.
Starting from the Wide lens, the result is decent. Compared to the same photo shot without the lens, it isn't noticeable any color distortion or anything else that could be impacting the main lens quality, but it is possible to notice, all over the corners, the golden metal part of the lens.
The Macro lens is just perfect though, with awesome quality and huge improvements when it comes to taking precision photos. Definitely the most useful lens.
As expected, the Fish Eye lens is working even worse on my device, with an huge black border all over the corners and a consequent loss of quality of the image due to lens flare. They should have made this lens more slim to avoid this kind of issues.
Conclusions
It is easy to notice that this isn't a product working for all devices, there are some serious compatibility issues that, in my opinion, must be fixed in a future revision of the product, but this doesn't mean that it is a bad product.
The quality is excellent for both lens and chassis of each one, and the macro lens is compatible with all devices. Luckily the one i was more interested to, the macro lens, works fine so i am not 100% disappointed, but, for all others who need to use also the Wide and/or Fish Eye lens, please make sure that your smartphone's camera doesn't already feature a pretty wide lens.
Pros:
- Outstanding Build Quality
- Nice 2-in-1 design for the Wide/Macro lens
- Good set of accessories included
Cons:
- Limited compatibility
- The rubbery holder leaves marks

wide angle lens out of focus blurry

I purchased the lm-g710emw lg g7 india yesterday and immediately received fota update. I am not sure but i think i checked the wide angle lens before applying fota and it was working fine. Now i can see the normal lens is working fine but the wide angle lens is out of focus and blurry. No physical cover over lens. I did all usual factory reset start as new then deleting app preferences app data cache and even tried error recovery iin lg bridge pc app. Still problem persist. Tried gcam mod too wide angle is out of focus. Online retailer says refund as phone out of stock ..lg says take to service centre. Is using bridge to error recover different from firmware flashing through lg up? Should i give that a try or does it look like hardware issue?
no joy with flashing firmware by lg up, hardware issue it seems then, should i get refund or bother going to service centre

Wide angle camera don't have focus. The blur has nothing to do with it having no auto focus
It's because it's only 16Mpix

While the wide angle lens doesn't have focus this much blur shouldn't happen at all. Return it and use your warranty.

In low light? Yes, it should. Because it has not enough light for its work. Mate 20 pro wide angle will shoot with same blurry quality in such conditions

It won't do such thing on HDR (there will be double or drag effect) and the wide angle and the normal camera is pretty much the same model so the light performance is pretty much the same (but the wide with a wide lens).

Except wide angle has F/1.9 vs F/1.6. It means it gives 35% less light to sensor.
Pretty HEFTY amount for low light conditions, I guess. You agree?

Yeah. So, don't you understand then that you can't get more detailed or even same amount of detail when you have equal sized sensor but you map on it wider angle of view? You will definitely get less detailed hence more blurry photos. It's obvious. Couple it with 35% less light put through a lens and it's obvious that in low lights wide angles shots MUST come out blurry
Until we'll have 20Mpix or 24Mpix sensors with 1.22mkm pixels coupled with F/1.4 aperture lens. Than it's be nice and detailed wide angle pix even in low light. But until then wide angle is only good in sunlight conditions but not indoors

Got my replacement set today and everything is fine on this one. Went to lg service to but they only had one service centre with water proofing machine working thats far from my home. So had to push mmy online seller really hard for a replacemnt set..lg service guy said looked like lens had moved a bit..sample of same corner of room at same sort of light
