FAQs

How close can I get to a subject with this lens?

The Freewell 45x Macro Lens offers a minimum focus distance of just 2.8 mm (0.1"), allowing you to capture ultra-fine details that are invisible to the naked eye. It's perfect for shooting subjects like insects, fibres, or the intricate texture of surfaces.

How does the built-in LED light help with macro photography?

Macro shots often block ambient light due to the close proximity between lens and subject. The integrated LED light ensures consistent illumination, with two brightness levels to match your shooting conditions. It’s powered by a built-in battery and charges via USB-C.

Can I use this lens on any phone?

Yes, this lens works with any smartphone case or rig that supports a 17mm threaded mount. As long as it aligns with the main camera lens on your device, it can be used with iPhones, Samsung Galaxy models, and other supported phones.

Is this lens good for handheld shooting?

Although the lens is lightweight and can be used handheld, macro photography at such close range benefits from added stability. For best results, it’s recommended to use a tripod or stabilised rig to avoid motion blur.

Does it support filter attachments?

No, this macro lens does not include a front thread for filters. However, the built-in LED and multicoated optics reduce the need for additional lighting or filtering, providing high-quality results straight out of the lens.
