So I've decided I'll be buying myself a Nexus 4 for Christmas, and I was thinking of what accessories to get for it. I've always liked the idea of a zoom lens add on, as I've had many times where I wanted to take a picture, but the object/scene in question was just too far away, or would look better zoomed in, and digital zoom just isn't good enough. I've been looking at zoom lenses, and so far all the good ones seem to be only for the iPhone- could anyone point me in the direction of a good zoom lens that could/should be Nexus 4 compatible?
The iPhone had zoom lens I remember, I hope there's some for the Nexus 4.
Would be great.
Can't you just use the iPhone zoom lens on the Nexus 4?

I don't think so, as most of the iPhone lenses were made to fit the iPhone camera+flash and frame specifically. (I kind of hope I'm wrong on that, finding a lens would be so much easier if I can just use an iPhone one!)
Here is one I am looking at right now
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
The zoom lens is only 2x, whereas a lot of the iPhone ones are 8X, which is what I'd like. I really like the macro lens that site sells though, I will probably get that.
Save the money and just get does Magnetic ring ones that stick on any phone.

If anyone wants i can sell you guys my 3 Photojojo Lens for $40 shipped (Macro, Fisheye, and telephoto lens)
i've only used it a couple times, its been sitting on my desk for couple month collecting dust.
Last time I was at the shooting range a guy attached a telescopic lens on his iPhone and he was able to see his target great at 25 yards. It was clan enough you could see bullet holes without having to use the green splatter targets. I asked him what the power was but he didn't know, but he said it was only $25 on amazon. I want one of those. You could see the target better with that then I could with my $50 dollar binoculars. The scope attached to the back with a case and had a mini tripod with screw mount. Almost decided to buy an iPhone because of the accessories. I just couldn't bring my self to sellout my own ideals.

I'm thinking the Photojojo lenses are the best bet for us. I had an idea though. So while I've mostly seen lenses for the iPhone, I've seen some for other phones too, like the Galaxy S2 and HD2. What if there's a phone with similar/almost the same camera size and placement, so that you could just buy a lense made for that phone and use it? Provided there is a lense for said similar phone, but it's worth a search.
This seems to be a 'generic' clip on one for 5x zoom

so i ordered the The Photojojo Fisheye lens for my g2 (or future phone nexus 4 preferably) http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
i was looking at my phone and the lens will probably block the flash a little but i'm ok with that, never really like the flash and i only take pictures in good lighting. i was wondering if anyone here has ever tried it or anything like it, let me know.
Can you post fotos? I'm intrigued.
Does anyone know what material the camera lens is made of?
Is it Sapphire, Gorrilla glass or just plain plastic or glass?
It sticks out so far compared to the rest of the body, asking to be scratched... My last phone's screen was GG2 and it scratched when I put it face down on a table.
Cheers

after a quick google search, i think im confusing it with the g2. i've been reading so much about the note 3, g2, and n5 over the past few weeks that some of it seems to be blending together
Any ideas people? I have been doing research online and like Enddo I can only find out about the G2.
Perhaps as it's not mentioned anywhere it is just standard glass or plastic... Anyone know someone who works closely with LG or Google?
The lg g2 camera lens is made of sapphire. The nexus 5 shares many components of the lg g2, so the only logical sense is the nexus 5' camera lens is made of sapphire.

Well, the G2 has a totally different and much smaller lens so it would cost less to make it out of sapphire - on the topic of costs as well the G2 costs a fair bit more to cover things like a sapphire lens.
Just my thoughts...

Yeah, I seriously doubt it's a sapphire lens. That would be very expensive (relatively) as the camera lens is huge on this phone. I think it's just glass or maybe Gorilla Glass 3 (though I doubt it). Sapphire is expensive for phones just like it is for watches, even the iPhone only covers the very small portion of the camera with it only on the 5/5S.
That is not the lens. That is a protective cover. It may also have some optical coating, but not likely as it is too exposed to stand up to wear. In short, I believe it to be a low refraction, highly transmissive synthetic corundum. The actual lens is behind this. You can see an aperture in the gentee of a grey little mount. If you look carefully while the camera is running you can see it move to compensate for movement.
Edit: or it is just cheap, plain glass. Anyway, it isn't the lens.
I've been looking at the
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUQGJ7E...TF8&colid=2JH17QLE2P960&coliid=I3IM4QUO5J7V4T
I'm liking the reviews and all. But, I'm curious if anyone knows of cases that can go with this that are a bit more aesthetically pleasing? Also, curious if perhaps there are other sets out there that may be better than this?
Any other accessories you'd recommend feel free. Getting an S4 soon for the ST LTE.
I have looked at thousands of these on ebay and the net. All the ones I have seen with a magnifying lens above 2x have either a special case that the lens attaches too or the lense is fixed to a bracket & stand. There don't seem to be any variations in cases for the 8x lens.
There are fisheye , macro and 2x telephoto lenses available that can be used via a magnetic ring that is stuck around the camera. You should be able to use these with a case of your choice as long as the area around the camera has enough room for the ring to sit properly. Im not 100% sure on this but what I have read so far seems to be the case.
There are a couple of high quality custom setups available where the case looks a bit nicer but they cost like $100 or more and will only suit a particular phone.
I bought a smaller lens kit on Amazon a couple of weeks ago for my Droid Rzr Maxx, haven't tried it on my S4 yet. For $10 they work pretty well.

If you take a look at youtube you'll notice that most of the zoom lenses have a really noticeable blur around the edges. Some even block the edges around scope of view so the edges will be black.
The best ones I could find where made of aluminium instead of plastic. This of course increases the price but the bad lenses will only make you cry if you look at the photos or video on a big screen.
Edit: the macro and wide angle lenses seem to work well.
Edit2: Here's a review for the same lens that is being sold for S4 as well:

Hello, everybody!
Anyone tried clip-on lenses for the 6P?
I'm a semi-professional macro photographer and I'm thinking about buying these additional lenses (just to use them when I haven't my DSLR with me).
Do you think these ones will fit the rear camera of the 6P: VicTsing Clip-On Fisheye Fischauge Objektiv + 12X Makro Objektiv + 2... http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0155X4DJA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_HkCAwb7KEVJN5
Second question: Will it fit with a case on, e. g. with this one: Huawei Nexus 6P Hülle - MoKo [Kristall Durchsichtig Serie] Ultra Sli... http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00NTQ2NNE/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_vmCAwbJGB3845
Thanks in advance!
They look adaptable enough. Considering the hump, you'll have to use the clip horizontally for a better stability, but I see no reason why it should not fit properly.
With cases, things will get more tricky. Even if they are stable enough, you are taking the lens away from the camera. As you may already have thought, that's not a good idea, but maybe you could still take reasonably good pictures (or even perfect, I can't say that much without actually testing those)
TL;DR: If you want to take the risk, I'd say it will be worth it, but don't trust me without hesitation, as I'm no expert in this.
I have 6p and lenses you're getting. They work grt. Macro blew me away. Got a close up of a dead flys head with an eye missing that looks awesome. Fish eye lens works fine. Going to try and get wide angle lens to complete the set

Do you use an case with the lenses? I'm interested in buying an 6P with tripod and maybe lenses as my main camera. So it would be great if they work with an case.
i have a similar clipon lens from mpow, fits perfectly on my verus case with no issues.

Any images taken with the lens?
I got this set (I think this is the same one...) for Christmas. The fisheye works OK, definitely makes it wider, but does show a round picture. Macro lens requires you to be VERY close for photos to be in focus.

I only played around with it a little but, but I found it tough to get close enough and have light on the subject. I was not using photography lighting, just normal room lighting, but the phone got in the way of the light often.

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 ?
