have been taking images for 40 years. The lens are easy to mount, easy to carry and provide a very decent picture if used correctly. I am a professional realtor and the wide angle lens allows me to take indoor images of homes which take in the whole room and not just part of it. The only drawback is the lens covers the flash so the flash is ineffective when using any of the lenses.

I am a photographer who works with music artist often for photography and videography. For a specific shoot concept I last minute bought this kit. The fish eye seemed to make the most notable difference. I was working with both an iPhone XR and Galaxy note 20. Attaching the lens was very challenging for both devices. Matching up the phone lens and these attachable lens. the note was a nightmare. that phone has a built in tri lens and zooming was a nightmare because if the phone lens switched you would have to reattach the lens accessory. Worked well on front cameras selfie wise.

Long story short, temperamental but can be fun for personal use

The fish eye lense is so poorly manufactured that the rear optics rattle around enough to actually move into the focal area and prevent the camera from seeing anything other than the side of the optics (pictured). The marcro and wide angle lenses are functional, however the focal range of the macro lense is so close any living subject is hard to track with the phone but I managed (picture of side swimer). The wide angle lense functions well and does considerably widen the feild of view. Not a huge disappointment all around, but a faulty product right out of the box is not impressive.

I took this on a trip to Europe. The fish eye is a lot of fun to play with. The macro, though, wouldn't clear up even if I was an inch away from the thing I wanted to take a photo of. The wide angle lens wouldn't screw into the macro most of the time, and when I tried to adjust it it fell; the lens popped out and the washer-type thing that holds it together snapped into three pieces. So I paid $9.99 for a fun-silly lens and had no ability to take the nice wide-angle and macro photos I wanted for my trip.

The fish eye is very good for close up face shots like the one I included of my brat cat, Toby. Macro lens is good for getting close up details, as it should. I used it to get some very good shots of the details of my plants. i haven't had a chance to use the wide shot lens but I am heading to the beach this weekend and I have high hopes. The only complaint I have is that it doesnt fit over my case fully, which it will still take fine photos, but they are better with the case off, which is a hassle to do.

These little cell phone lenses are pretty neat. I needed a macro lens and it works great. The fisheye lens is pretty cool too, not a major fisheye effect but plenty good enough. Maybe I'll use it on my next Zoom meeting ;-) And the wide angle is OK too, again not a major effect but the best that can be expected given the nature of a cell phone clip-on product. They are all easy to use and they come with a little storage bag. High Recommended!!!!

These pieces come in their own pouch for easy transportation. I brought this on a long road trip and camping trip. Many hikes with this in my pack with no damage! Very easy to attach and disassemble parts to phone. I even dropped a few lenses a time or two and all was still great picture wise! Even though it was just an iPhone, I was able to capture a ton of awesome wide screen photos and close up shots of small plants in nature! I'll be honest I did not use my fish lense for pictures, but while testing it performed as well as the others! Will be using on my next trip!

Because it is only 20$ I would give it a 3/5 stars... Had I paid the 49.99 price I would have been a little more upset.

This is used on an LG G2.
Wideangle lens: Has quite a bit of distortion outside of the normal range and degrades image overall by a little. Imagine you take a photo with your phone, add an additional 1/3 of your view on top of what you see now, and imagine that extra space really distorted. That's what you get this lens. Basically the only useable portion of the picture is what you have without the wide angle lens to begin with.. so its basically pointless to have it on there other than it adds a little to the overall picture I guess..
Also the wideangle lens screws on the macro lens. My wide angle lens has a noticeable scratch on there but doesn't show up in the final pictures.. well a little.. its basically a slightly blurred area on the final picture.

The macro works pretty well.. it allow you to shoot with the lens right against the object. Can make for some fun shots.

Fisheye'd lens is basically a fisheye'd lens...decent image.

The clip works pretty well and easy to switch between the different lens. The clip is roughly an inch deep so that will determine if it will fit your phone. Not great..but for 20$ you really cant ask for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value out there?

This is the third pattern from different suppliers I've used - well, four including testing out a mate's which cost five times as much with nil difference in quality. Great optics and greenfly on the macro appear to be as big as hamsters; the fish-eye is excellent, as is the wide. But be aware! Look at the rims of the lenses to see which are left-hand/reverse thread or you won't be able to do and undo the things! One more note of warning: if you're cutting your backside to bits sitting on the fence trying to decide which clone to get, beware of the cheapest ones out there, (the supplier's name escapes me, but they're under four quid) as they have the optics of a dirty milk-bottle bottom. I'd got two for giveaways and I'm saving one for a joke - they'd be more expensive to send back than what they cost in the first place. These CamKix ones are, however, little gems. You ain't going to get around the necessity of fiddling around getting the things on and off the phone, but that's just a fact of life, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommended..

Like others have said, you get what you pay for. 12.00. The camera on my cell Samsung S3, is just slightly worst without this lens and couldn't be bothered. Even though it only cost 12.00 Cnd, I'm still gonna send back to Amazon for refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far the fisheye lens has a barrel outline and captures a very nice view of a lot of things

Lens just came in a few days ago, and I fiddled with the fisheye and the wide-angle lens. Because I scooter at skateparks, I need a fisheye lens to make the video complete.

So far the fisheye lens has a barrel outline and captures a very nice view of a lot of things. It pulls the camera back and shows a lot of space for filming just in case you miss a part you didn't film.

The wide-angle lens is the same but makes the image 5x wider so you can capture pictures and videos perfectly.

This package also came with the macro lens, and works super nicely close up to plants, and things you can't see with the naked eye.

Overall, I will give this a 5 star because it shipped to me fat, and the quality is super, super nice! Although it is pricey than most cheap ones in Amazon, this fisheye lens kit will change your bad blurry lens to a amazing bright, and beautiful picture
