I use the magnetic lens from Photojojo. I actually put the stick- on ring on my OEM OnePlus case, then stick whichever lens I'd like to use. I've got the wide angle, macro, fisheye, and telephoto. They work great. The macro lens is VERY amazing. It let's you get extremely close!
Hope this helps!
P.S. I'm not affiliated with photojojo. Just a happy customer.

Here ya go: http://photojojo.com/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses?a6nv
Enjoy!
Also, if you're into photography like me... I bought a cell phone tripod mount on Amazon for cheap & also a Bluetooth shutter trigger. Both are handy for macro shooting. Gets rid of the little movement out hands make - that totally ruin macro shots.

there are many times when im sure a wide angle lens can come in handy. the lens of the stock camera is rather narrow.
i know i wouldnt mind a wider lens anyways, or rather the option of one
If you have a loupe (The magnifying lens used for inspecting jewlery), that can be used as a macro lens easily.
So I've read many mentioning that the ring on our lenses work with some fisheyes to hold the lens in place. Also, I've heard it messes with stabilization. Can someone point me in the right direction?

i bought one set of lenses (fish eye, macro and wide lens).
and yes theoretically, n5 camera supports these lenses as it has a magnet around the camera but i faced some problems (idk if it was a problem with the lens i bought or a design flaw of the phone)
The macro lens attached alright but the fish eye lens couldnt stay in place (as it is bigger and heavier). i corrected that issue by attaching a metal ring around n5 camera and hence the lens's magnet stick perfectly on that metal ring
and i didnt noticed much difference in stabilisation.

What lens kit did you get? I've been looking specifically for a macro lens for the N5 but I can't get a straight answer from anybody on polarity consistency. Here are the lenses I am looking at:
http://www.amazon.com/Leegoal-Detachable-iPhone-Camera-Smaller/dp/B005C3CSXC/
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing®-Fish-Eye-Magnetic-Easy-Use-connected/dp/B00QIGOKRE/
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
The Photojojo lenses are the only ones I have been told have consistent magnet polarity, so they should always work on the N5, but they aren't higher quality than the Chinese knock-offs so their price isn't really justified.
Anyone have a good recommendation?

lol im sorry but i dont even understand the words you wrote haha
I just bought the cheap chinese versions for >$10 as i just wanted to give it a go, Im not a photography expert... sorry, cant help you anymore
Ok, perhaps an overstrong heading! But this is just my opinion - I actually don't find the superwide nearly as useful as I thought I would. First of all, the quality isn't great and secondly the distortion from it being such a small lens makes it interesting, but not particularly useful. It's especially bad if people are in the picture. I'm really interested to know where people have used it where it actually added some value.

I wouldn't agree for main camera superwide, i managed to took some nice pics that i couldn't capture otherwise, quality is not the point here, but what you can capture with it.
BUT! my real question is, what is the freaking point of 2 cameras on front?They make almost no difference between each other..

You can't actually use the second camera on the front it is just solely for depth information to the other sensor

Then what does the switch does?It changes between 2 what if not cameras, and angle changes just a bit.

It crops it. All from one sensor cover the one up and try it. Still will switch between cropped and not

I see now, still i think that button it pointless, it does nothing, its minimum crop, can someone explain me actually the point of it?

Extremely useful when travelling and trying to take pictures of architecture. Most cities in the world are very dense and objects are large, with limited space to position yourself for a photo. Your only choice here is to carry an ultra-wide lens. Most of my pictures from my recent trip to Vienna were done in ultra-wide. Stick it into DxO ViewPoint and correct the geometry and you have fantastic photos.
For me, Its a useful option in the right situations...
It's useless until you need it. I thought it was the useless but when in a tight space where you need to capture more area in your photo, the wide angle is extremely useful. Happens a lot to me when I take photos for site inspections (construction job).

Or taking a photo for a group of people and the space is somewhat tight you cant go so much backwards
Completely useful since I remember in my LG G6 u can capture interesting perspectives.
Has anyone tried any clip on camera accessories, like a macro lens or zoom lens?
(Mostly interested in a 2x zoom, or even better a 10x or 20x)
Do pics come out okay using these?
Recommendations?

I have a set of some from amazon. Like $40. The clip on is decent, just can slide around easily. Pics come out pretty decent. https://www.amazon.com/CoPedvic-Sam...hone+lens&qid=1606091684&sr=8-5&tag=hydsma-20. Might not be exact set, but make sure that the lens slider will reach your main camera. A universal set might be best. I Tried to upload pics, but too big and errors on uploading.
Thanks.
Could you put links to some pics you took with it, especially the zoom?
I've seen many where the first center is good, but the rest of the pic is blurry and such.

Anyone found a selfie stick that opens large enough to take the Z Fold 3 when its opened?
I'm looking for one to attach to a tripod, so it must have teh standard screw hole in it.
Why? The inside cameral is so much worse that the outer one on the front or using any of the ones on the back?

You can take selfies with the ones on the back by using the front screen preview function, which requires the phone to be open in order to use it for selfies. I'm guessing that is the reason. Also, the pictures from the inside camera were vastly improved with the last update.

Ok. I can see that. I really was just confused and wondering. Thanks!
I will have to check out the inner cam since it has had some work done on it.
Thanks!

Yeah, I used to hate selfies with the inner camera because even though the image looked good when it was live preview, the pics were crazy soft, fairly unusable, but now they are as sharp as the live preview. The phone is a bit awkward to hold far away for a more full-body pic if I'm trying to get my outfit in it (to send a guy, as I'm a girl), so I usually have to use both hands for that. I'm not a selfie stick type of person, but I can see why it would be helpful with this phone, although I don't know if the weight of the phone along with the size would make it hard to hold up and out, especially for more than a few seconds.
I'm going to mount my phone to a tripod. I've always done this with a selfie stick, as they usually have a extra hole for this

I'm that case, you can just buy a tripod head made for tablets that adjusts to the size of the device. It cradles the device between two arms like a car phone holder does. I got one years ago for my first tablet as I'm a photographer and it had an app that connects to my camera so I can control the camera and have a bigger preview screen, as well as another app for focus stacking to control the camera/have a big preview on the tablet screen.
