Moment Photo Case paired with the Sirui Wide Angle Lens - Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories

You can order the Moment Photo Case wherever you can get the best deal or is most convenient. I got mine on Amazon.
I could only find the Sirui lens at B&H Photo:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1375317-REG/sirui_su18war_18_wa_wide_angle_lens.html
Pros:
- Sirui lens fits exactly the same way
- High quality glass and metal design
- $30 cheaper than Moment's lens
- More captured for both photos and especially videos (heavily cropped for 16:9 ratio without the lens)
- No barrel distortion as lines are still straight
- Crispy results
Cons:
- Ever so slight vignetting (dark spots) in the top corners with photos when in landscape
- Ever so slightly less wide angle than Moment's lens
- Pricier than the cheaper clip-on types
- Plastic carrying case is okay but would've liked a material semi-hard case
Conclusion:
Good alternative to the Moment lens that still gets high quality results but at $30 less.

More information
good concept if a bit ugly. The sample photos dont exactly sell it for me. Looks like your heavily sacrificing quality for range
You can get vignetting effect without using vignette
What if phone rings when using this?
Nice thought, but the photo quality looks bad.
I rather have a good quality picture than this type of photo (personnel opinion). But who knows, people might still buy them
You could just crop the picture and have the same image quality.

While in theory it's entirely possible to strap a zoom lens to a camera phone and get good results (i've seen some for iphone that work pretty well), i dont think this product achieves that.
If the photos on your adverts and website (supposedly taken by people familiar with the product and under ideal conditions) look blurry, dark and misaligned then what hope have the rest of us got. Seriously, those pictures look like they've been taken with one of those apps that degrade the image to look like a picture taken with a knackered old polaroid ffs.

Using the telephoto lens without DOF blur effect

Is there any way to use the telephoto lens without the annoying and fake blur effect?
It looks ok on portraits, but it makes impossible to take any other type of photography with that lens.
You can set the camera in manual mode and tap on lens to switch between the 2 cameras

You can also use it with normal camera mode and tap to zoom on the 1x to 2x, tada here it is you can use it now

That is digital zoom not the tele lens zoom.
Look at your camera when you press it.
You can see a physical movement of the lenses focussing when switching to the actual tele lens

It is digital soon unless there is enough light to switch to tele lens.

Use Modular Lenses with RhinoShield Cases

Use Modular Lenses with RhinoShield Cases​
RhinoShield offers four different types of lenses that are compatible for the SolidSuit case for the Pixel2 and Pixel 2 XL: 0.6X HD Wide Angle, Super Wide, Wide + Macro and Fisheye. Each lens comes with a lens cap that helps prevent dust and scratches when it’s not being used, plus a little carrying pouch. With most smartphone lens kits you’ll get at least some interference from the edges of the lens which end up blocking out the corners of your photos. You wont find that on the RhinoShield lenses, as they’re plenty big enough for your Pixel phone.
Lenses $24.99 - $59.99
SolidSuit Case $34.99

These lenses are compatible only with the SolidSuit case, which has a threaded camera port where the lenses can be attached. This is a great solution for smartphone photographers that don't want to sacrifice their ability to use a lens when they put on a protective case. Speaking of cases, RhinoShield offers the CrashGuard and SolidSuit cases for the Pixel 2. You can even customize your case with colored buttons to match your style.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Photo quality is super powerful... ilove the clarity and texture on the photos
i had a mi note 3. Photo quality is poor comparing to mi note 3, no telefoto lens, no 2x optical zoom, no OIS+EIS...
Not great
On MIUI 9.5 the photo quality for most pictures is terrible. Sometimes it is great, but that is rare.
The AI and HDR either oversaturate or overexpose and I suspect the "beautify effect" stays activated all time time (even when disabled in the UI) interfering with the quality/detail of the picture (e.g. trees become blotches of color etc.). Green things and scenery shots are a big problem for this camera.
Hopeffuly it will be better on MIUI 10.

Shot by me
Night shot in manuel mode!! Really impressive
I've just flashed the RR ROM and it's not so bad. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding camera apps?
