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!

Does the lens block the led flash?

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

A zoom lens for the Nexus 4?

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

[Really Cool!!] 12X Zoom Lens w/ Case & Mini Tripod!

Hey guys! Back with another review! Check out this very neat camera lens for the Galaxy S 4! The video is below and under that is my written review and a link! Please like this and subscribe for more videos like this!
This product is a must have if you love to take pictures. The case feels great in the hand with a nice soft rubberized feel. The lens has a very premium feel. It does not feel cheap at all. The tripod is the same way. It takes very good pictures (if you know how to use it). I give this product a 10/10 because of the way it is presented in the box, the way it looks, and how well it performs. Like I said, this is does NOT feel or look cheap. Check out tmart.com for more interesting products like this!

That's pretty interesting. Seems really useful for people who want to have an optical zoom available for pictures taken on their phone. It's also convenient that it screws on and off really easily, and you don't have to change cases. Although some may prefer a little more of a protective case. Maybe they should make another case variant that offers more protection over the standard.

i was actually looking at a couple of these on ebay but never really knew if these worked that good.
Is it possible you could post a couple of side by side pics like one without zooming in and one after zooming in? I was hoping to see how clear the pics are through this lens. Thanks for the review tho! :good::good:

Looks nice, i sure also wanna see some pictures/video's made with this, maybe a compare between maximum zoom with & without the extra lens to see the difference & to see if it can still make sharp pictures.

looks really interesting hopefully you can (or somebody) post some pics and/or video using this

I'm not good at taking pictures so I would be no help. Although at the end of the video I have two sample pictures. I wouldn't go by them though, I need to practice more. Lol

Oi, a zoom lens review with no pictures?
Never before has the saying 'this thread is useless without pics' been more appropriate.

Recommend a lense kit and other accessories?

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:

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 ?
