HK means closer to 3 weeks

Apparently Deals Extreme has it too... and cheaper by a few bucks.

possible dumb question: Is it safe to put a magnet all up on the back of the phone like that?

Just tested with a REGULAR magnet I had in a drawer and I have good news! It stayed put on top of the camera so it should work!

A magnet, not the magnet macro lens. Edited my post so that there won't be any more misinterpretations.
I'm just stating that it's possible to use the macro lens as the area around the camera is magnetic.

it should be perfectly fine, especially since the lens is not meant to be permanent; you'll be removing it after every use.

I just ordered the same one that ogdobber did. According to my calculations it should fit pretty good actually. I think anything in that 25-27mm range will be fine, but of course it will be a couple weeks before it arrives to verify.

Received the SmartLENS-1 week shipping from HK!
So this is the one I bought here
I ordered it on the 9th and it came today (the 16th). pretty impressive shipping time from Hong Kong!
It fits perfect, however the magnet on the lens isn't strong enough to hold on securely to the Nexus. The SmartLENS does come with 2 steel rings that have adhesive tape that is barely noticeable when stuck on.
The lens can take macro pictures and wide angle...the only pictures I attached are macro and I have to say it is quite impressive. see for yourself below.

done. added the pictures of the lens and adapter mounted.

Thank you for telling us your experience ogdobber.
I bought one from the same seller. Good price, and although I haven't played a lot with it yet I am impressed.

Looks nice, ogdobber. Can't wait to try something like that with 720P

Take off the backcover to take sharper picture's and video's!

Hi, i had another tread i just don't know how to change the name , anyway if u want to take sharper picture's and video's then take the backcover off and you will see how much sharper it is I'll include one pic (8mp left) with cover on, and one without (5mp right).
you need to eat your bananas they're about to spoil...
The cover is kind of a pain to take off. It doesn't seem like it would last very long if it were taken off and on constantly.
Edit: I'm not sure if I see a difference or not?
Cover on
Cover Off
No I took the backcover off and put it in a Flex protective cover from tmobile and its still tight and nice.

If you carry it around like that you're bound to scratch the lens or damage some other part of the phone before too long.
I have that same cover BTW, I really like it.

Agreed not the best looking cover in the world there. As for the pictures the second set seemed no different though the first did. Curious Sam, are you running a custom rom or the original software?
I noticed no difference on mine at all. Did you clean the back of the backcover?

when you want to compare 2 pictures to make an example, the camera needs to be in a fixed position so you can get 2 pictures from the exact same lighting angle.

Detachable lenses for phones

Hi guys!
I was reading xda when saw a topic about lenses. I was looking for some cheap solution and found this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-67X-Detachable-Wide-Angle-Macro-Lens-for-iPhone-4G-4S-iPod-Phone-Camera-DC125B-/230858237319?pt=US_Other_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item35c0392587
It's designed for iPhone but I'm sure it is compatible with our Nexus because our camera is even inner than the iPhone's one.
Maybe the LED flash cause some problems, but if I understand corretly it works with a 3M sticker-ring, which is magnetic, so you can attach the lenses to it.
Any thoughts?
Sorry for my English.

I have very similar ones in silver. They are compatible with the N4. There is a very slight 'dark' bit around the edge of the images due to it not quite being wide enough inside but it's hardly noticeable. If you'd like to see some sample images taken with the wide angle and macro, let me know.

Mine stuck without any issue (with and without a screen protector). If you're finding that it's not sticking, try using a hairdryer to heat the adhesive and allow to cool naturally.

Moment Case for OnePlus 6

Hey guys
just received my Moment lens case today.
So far so good, I talked to the owner and the 6T cases will be out sometime in February.
This case seems really solid and the wooden part feels like actual wood (not sure if it is or not)
I'll keep you guys up dated as I play to use it this holiday a lot with the family.
Do you know if the lenses are compatible with the Rhinoshield adapter? The mounting system looks the same.
Can i get the link?

Yeah I'm kinda curious bout that too, Moment took their sweet time releasing this case and I couldn't wait for some "timeline" so I jumped on rhinoshield, the mount does indeed look very similar.
I like moment's lens selection, especially that anamorphic lens, I may just buy a lens to see for myself and if I need a case, I'll get it

I can't find a real review of the moment lens on the oneplus 6. I've been googling reviews everyday.
What's it like?
I've personally been waiting for years for Moment to make a OnePlus case!
I was on my OnePlus 2 when a friend got his first lens for his Pixel...
Moment lens are quality, they start to be pricy when you start getting them all considering it's for a cell phone, but at the same time, it's cheap when comparing on getting the equivalent on a DSLR... So it's a little mix feeling.
Really thought, your phone is the best camera you almost always have with you and much compact to carry around a couple Moment lens then a camera bag.
I used to be a full time photographer so it's not going to replace any of my gear when I really want a quality photo but it's definitively a fun tool to carry around.
I just received my black case and the wide angle. Looks and work very well!
Here are some sample shots I today with and withought the wide
Cheers
The distortion of the wide 18mm is driving me nuts. It looks like everything is slanted away from the lens.
Bought a moment wide 18mm v2 for my OnePlus 6T. But since the case isn't it yet, I also bought a Sirui 60mm (direct competition to the new Moment 58mm tele) with the same lens mount... and that comes with a clip-on style.
So I put the clip on my 6T and mounted the Moment wide lens on the clip. And no matter how I mounted it, there is a HUGE amount of blockage in the corners of my smartphone viewfinder.
Curious to know, how close does the moment oneplus 6 case comes to the OnePlus 6 lens? Because the sirui clip is not more than 1mm thick and that thickness is already causing the lens to block part of the total image.

I bought the Sirui set that includes wide (18mm?), macro and portrait (60mm) that came with the clip. Then i got the moment case for the OP6. Withe the moment case, i get a small but noticeable dark corners with the wide. The dark corners are barely noticeable with the 60mm. See pics attached (wide, no lens, portrait, in that order).
I should mention that i can't get fingerprint unlock with the lens mounted. Perhaps it would work if i redo the fp with the very tip of my finger.
Pics of the mount please! Shame I can't find a case with 17mm or best, 37mm standard lens mount so that we have a bigger selection.

Not sure what you want to see... Here are some pics of the moment case with and without the sirui 60mm lens.
These lenses are large enough to block the secondary camera on the OP6. Not sure how that affects IQ.
the case looks really beautifull on the backside it also protects the camera, however does it has decent lip to protect the screen ?

The Pleson was 7.99 with Prime shipping. Just got it today, ordered on Wednesday (16th).
What's funny is, included in the box was a card saying I was selected to receive a $10 refund. *Shrug*
Is a protector really needed if my case has a nice lip? I've never thought of covering a camera other than my selfie one.

Yes, I have noticed some things. First, these protectors have this weird haze on it and can't get rid of it no matter how well you clean it. Taking some shots in my kitchen, there was a slight difference with it on and off. This particular item, I'm returning, because it's just a POS. Avoid this one. The other I purchased, I think it's ozero? That is a little better, but even that one has the weird haze problem. Have not noticed a difference in picture quality with it on or off for the ozero. Hope I helped!
And FYI, I'm also returning this item because they had a card inside that said I qualified to get a refund of $10. But the email they sent privately, wants me to leave a 5star review and then they'll PayPal me the $10. So no, I would never rate this one 5 Stars. I would rather return it and get my refund.

Dang, that's what I was worried about the haze/hue in the photos. They would need to widen the hole around the flash to avoid this issue. Sounds like the company is buying reviews. Sadly I have already ordered it and when it comes I'll put it on and see how bad it is and then return it. Guess another option is a skin but I don't want to bother with those. Hopefully it will be okay with a case that always keeps the lens elevated from all surfaces. Thanks for the information!

I wish I had another camera to take a picture of the haze on the protector for you. But hopefully you're won't have that problem. Yeah they definitely are buying reviews, trying to search how to report them for that.
On another note, I bought 2 Spigen cases: neo hybrid and rugged armor, they both elevate the area around the camera.

I'll try it when they come this Friday and see if there is a haze or not. I'm pretty sure I will have it if you did unless they somehow updated their product in the short period of time. I have the Google Fabric case and the Ringke Fusion X and they both have a nice lip to elevate the camera. I don't keep anything else in my phone pocket so theortically I should be okay even w/o the cover. But I would like it for peace of mind due to the larger surface area.

I tried this screen protector for the camera and got a very weird effect when I tried taking a photo with the flash. The photo was all white - or nearly so - like the flash was getting picked up and spread out through the glass protector - total piece of crap. Sending back now...
Got them and they're utter trash and seem like they're plastic and not glass. Returned.
