FAQs

How does this lens enhance a smartphone camera?

This lens allows you to get much closer to distant subjects without using digital zoom, preserving image quality. It's ideal for capturing wildlife, sporting events, and scenes where you can’t physically get closer, offering sharp results with dramatic background compression.

Is this lens compatible with any phone?

Yes, it works with any smartphone rig or case that features a 17mm threaded mount. It’s designed to align with your phone’s main camera for best results and is compatible with iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and other smartphones with supported mounting systems.

Does this lens support filter attachments?

No, this lens does not have a front filter thread. However, its optical coatings help minimise lens flare and reflections, even in bright outdoor settings, maintaining contrast and clarity without additional filtering.

How close can I focus using this lens?

The minimum focus distance is 5 metres (16.4 feet), making it suitable for distant subjects rather than close-up work. It’s best used in outdoor environments where you have space to work with long focal lengths.

Is the lens suitable for travel or rugged conditions?

Yes, the aluminium alloy construction provides excellent durability. Despite its longer build, it weighs only 215g and comes with a travel pouch and protective caps, making it easy to carry and store during field shoots.
