Great macro photos
Very high quality, easy to use macro lens that has greatly broadened my photography skills. I now no longer need to worry about reduced quality with close up images thanks to it sliding onto the front of my phone. It’s very easy to see a clear difference, specifically in the sharpness of edges between photos taken with the natural camera compared to those taken with the macro lens. Quite pricy but sufficiently justified if you wish to take professional macro photos with only your smartphone. It also saves the hassle of taking a DSLR around with you and lets you utilise the full abilities of a premium smartphone camera. The included CPL filter is also a great addition!

Fun To Use
The lenses are in a clear and compact plastic box with a lens cloth - very handy for keeping it safe and clean. They are made of metal, making it feel more expensive than its budget price.I found it easier to align with the phone’s camera if I removed the case.Due to the very shallow depth of field, it’s not easy to get pin sharp pictures. You also need to get super close to the subject and have the steady hands of a surgeon - good luck with moving subjects like; insects, holding your arms overhead or in a breeze. I suspect this will be the case with any hand-held close-up lens.The 12x macro was the most useful. I found the light defuser on the 24x lens unhelpful. It is not removable and prevented me from getting close enough to my subject for a clear picture and the length of the clip also got in the way at times.I tried a range of subjects from static items in the home to flowers and live insects. These photos were taken on an overcast afternoon in my garden straight from the phone i.e. no filters or processing. The hover-flies were good if skittish models but the other critters were noisy and made me nervous so I think I’ll stick to the safety of flowers and still life.Overall, for the low cost, portability and convenience of the clip-on phone lens, I was generally satisfied with the results.

Great lenses esp macro but lose the star effect one
Good quality lenses for a good price. I wasn't sure whether to give a 4 or 5 star rating as although the lenses are good I just felt that the "star effect" lens was out of place in this kit. It's not a good lens and would have much preferred it if there was something useful in its place like a telephoto, more ND filters or even a microscope lens. However I settled on 5 stars as the quality of the other lenses is fantastic. Little touches like having a lens cap and mount cap for each lens plus including a cleaning cloth and a handy bag shows attention to detail and just makes this purchase complete.

Fun gadget for an hour or so, doesnt produce sharp images
Incompatible with my S21 ultra for a few reasons. Although the frame of the light box fitted my phone (without phone case), the frame keeps pressing on the side buttons making taking pictures impossible. Furthermore, the sliding plastic which adjusts the position of the lens is very stiff to adjust, making me feel that perhaps it will wear down the paintjob on my actual phone over time. Works if u go into pro mode and select telephoto x3 mode, albeit producing some pretty unsharp images. The superphoto mode gets closer images but these images are quite blurry or fuzzy so whilst it was momentarily fun to see the back of my hand in close up, it takes ages to find a good focusing position and even then only a tiny part of the image will be slightly sharp whilst the other parts of the image will be blurry. When using the lens for an hour i started feeling very sick, almost motion sick. I would suggest using these lens with a mount otherwise the constant swaying images will no doubt leave u feeling nauseous. The light box's light helps a little but its not particularly great, feels too dim and has no diffusion to it, meaning u will have images with that stark spotlighted look with bright dots reflected off whatever item u are trying to photograp. Better than nothing, but i returned this item. My own phone's camera doesnt get as close, but takes sharper images by far. Was good fun trying this out, but a disappointment. Will save up and buy a proper camera + lens

Easy to use with good results
I purchased the 6 in one lens set 10 days ago and found them to be an excellent addition to my Iphone. Easy to use whilst on the move.Ideal for taking with you whilst on open country walks especially useful in the area where we live, close to the beach, and have ample opportunity to use the variety of lenses for wild life flowers and birds, rock formations shells landscapes and general beach scenery as wellSo much so, that I have recommended them to my granddaughter, who is just starting out with a keen interest in photography, suggesting she buys the same set of lenses, and she is in the process of now purchasing these.

Good value for money
It is a very good lens with good quality macro images. Fits well on my phone and is stable. The slight downside is that is very bulky and needs to be extremely close to the subject to achieve clarity and focus.

Amazing little gadget!
I'm a professional body piercer, so I work with jewellery as small as 1.5mm. Obviously trying to catch the light in something so small can be pretty hard, let along trying to grab a a good photo of all the gem cuts.This little lens is my new best friend!Highly recommend 💚

Excellent lens for very close-up work, not suitable for photographing living insects.
This is a good-quality lens set, with optical components fully able to support the resolution achieved by best mobile phone cameras on the market today.Other plus points:1: A very useful translucent lens hood, set at the optimum shooting distance;2: A good quality lens cloth is included;3: Packaged in a dustproof plastic hard case.Recommended 'also buy':Get a small lens puffer brush.Other points:This is a good product for the job it's intended to do.But it's the wrong lens if you're photographing live insects: than needs Apexel's HD 100mm focal length clip-on macro lens, which has a longer shooting distance that allows you to photograph living insects with less disturbance.
