[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

Low Budget self-made Camera Lens protection

didn’t gave me a solution in how to protect my camera and keep the phone slim.
Well after searching my ass off I found this case that on the one hand gives maximum cam protection but on the other hand blows the phone up like hell. The thickness of that case was unacceptable for me.
So here’s what I did:
I took an cheap soft silicon case from here
and a furniture pad, scissors, scalpel and a pencil like this:

I Cut the holes in the furniture pad where the SGS3 needs them and stuck it on the TPU case...... et voilá:
In addition to the hama navi bag in which I already carried my retired SGS1 around this seems quite a protection against dust, coins and so on….
No worries, if I need a fancy housing, I chose this flip case, which has as you can see quite an acceptable camera lens protection as well.
But as neither my self made solution nor my flip case satisfies me completely I´m still looking for your solutions….
My dream would be a back cover that has a build in function as my old Nokia 6680. For those who won´t remember just like this....

Anyone knows a backplate with such a cool mechanism? I think as quite a few people seem to be concerned about scratching their cam lenses due to the design of the sgs3, such a back cover would sell like (as we in germany say) warm buns....

Why dont used ultra thin glass protector? They not really cheap, but offering great protection and no noise

2 reasons:
1. I don´t wanna mess up the cam Quality
2. I don´t wanna put glue to the cam lens, which might not get off properly again!
and by the way I´d have to cut the lens protection out of this >>ultra thin glass protector<<, which is again piece of handicraft.....

Z1 camera lens first glass (Filter?)

Is it possible to buy and replace the Z1 camera lens first glass or filter?

There currently are no replacement parts for the camera. The only ones I know of are Chinese full module sets. Whats wrong with yours?

Mine got scrached.
I want original one.

The first element is the glass from the back of the phone.
You can buy the back pannel which also includes that piece of glass.

any idea how much it will cost?

... Are you sure this piece includes the camera glass?
If I look at my Xperia Z1, the back plate seems to stop at the camera (exactly at the silver ring) leaving a hole.
The camera glass itself looks like a separate piece to me.

i also think it is a part of back cover for water resisting purpose.

Take a look here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/15/xperia-z1-disassembly-guide/
The glass is mounted and glued on the back pannel. Beneath it is the camera assembly, they are 2 separate things.

Yes. I saw the link. I think it is better to don't change the back cover because of it and wait for possible Z4.
It is not that bad:

Well, it's your phone, not mine, you know what's the best thing to do.
Btw, the replacement procedure is very simple, you use a hotgun to heat up the back pannel, and a suction cup to take it off ... Afterwards you order a brand new adhesive foil from ebay and new backpannel, you glue it back on and voilla. Water resistance is not affected.

Good to hear water resistance not affecting

Transparent Backdoor?

I would love to see the internals of my g4.
Is there any clear/transparent backdoor out yet?

I had the same idea when I got my G4 a few months ago. I tried to check some of the Chinese website, I can't find one.

Haven't heard about such thing until now, checked out the iPhone4s and man does that look awesome. Let us know if you find one for the G4
Edit: tried my clear silicone case on the phone without the back cover and it looks pretty dope already

make a model for a 3d printer and I will print it on friends 3d printer he has one in office

Doesn't the back cover have NFC or wireless charging or both stuck on there?

It does, but you can purchase the stickers on Amazon for relatively cheap.

Sorry for digging this thread up after 27 months but maybe anyone here found/made a 3d model of that backdoor?
I'm working on accommodating camera covers on my H815 and opened a thread to discuss how to do that on the front without sacrificing the screen protector:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories/camera-cover-custom-screen-protector-t3776657
But this leaves the issue of the main camera - the flat surface of the glass on top of it is too small to fit a cam cover slider and the area around the camera is curved. No way to stick that cam cover for longer than a day before it snaps right off in my pocket.
I'm planning to either print just the support for the cover - something to stick on top of the curved surface next to the camera to let the cam cover rest partially on the camera glass and partially on the support. That would still be rather suboptimal unless I use superglue for everything
- printing it precisely enough is one challenge, gluing it is one more, then gluing the cam cover is yet another. Then, having 3 elements made of 3 different materials connected on three surfaces (backdoor to support, camera glass to cam cover, support to cam cover), one of which isn't flat (backdoor) would make the whole thing rather loose without the superglue. But I think I'll end up doing just that since I can't seem to find the 3d backdoor model.
I was considering getting a 3d model of the whole backdoor to mod it so that this support would be its integral part - or even to integrate the cam cover slider right into it. And that's how I ended up here.
The reason why I want cam covers on there is not only because I'm paranoid but also because my cameras tend to get greasy so every time I try to take a pic I first get a foggy picture, then I wipe the cameras and have to re-take it. I had a cover on the back of my LG G2 D802 (the camera glass and the backdoor were perfectly flat in that area) and it helped a lot both with keeping the camera clean and with my anxieties.

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
