Apexel 2X Telephoto Lens for Dual Lens/Single Lens iPhone,Pixel,Samsung Galaxy Smartphones

Agrega mucha distorsión en los lados, solo el centro se ve nítido y sin distorsión, para el nivel de zoom prefiero no usarlo.

I bought this 2x adapter for a trip to Europe with my daughters, thinking it would be perfect for portrait photos. The quality of this lens and attachment seem great. As far as I can tell, the glass is sharp and clear. The problem is that mounting it on the lens is a little bit of a process, which makes it hard to spontaneously take portrait photos. Since the 2x telephoto is rather subtle, it becomes more of a burden than its worth. We traveled all over Europe for 3 weeks, and I used this lens only once, and I don't think I could pick out the photos where this lens was used. In hindsight, I should have gotten the super-wide lens. There are more times that wide would have been useful, like on the bus, or trying to get these large structures in the frame, etc.

really love this for my audition tapes and for zoom calls. tightens my frame to just my head and shoulders and really has a nice filmic quality to it. really simple to use. have recommended it to my friends as well who also are big fans.

I was misled to believe and buy this overpriced waste. About 60% of the frame is blurred away (30% on each sides) and the sharpness and focus is just in the center. (See the sample picture. I have taken it from a video, shot with this lens on). Every reviewer shows a picture/video of “with and without the lens”, but the fact is that they are doing this on already “zoomed in” pic/video, so that we do not see the blurred parts. They just do not show us the zooming part.. and when I say blur, I’m not talking about the nice background blur/bokeh like the one’s you get with DSLRs…the left and right sides of your frame has a cheap looking blur and only the center part is in focus. Some reviews say that this issue goes away in video mode and also if you use a lens mounting case…well, it does not…!!! I have tried this lens with a lens clip as well as the lens mounting case, but the problem still exists. The only way to get rid of this, is to shoot in 4K and use the digital zoom on your camera or to crop the image/footage in post to remove the blurred parts…but both these methods will cause huge loss in resolution. ie, 4K resolution will get reduced to less than 1080p resolution…!!! To be frank, something in between 720p and 1080p. Don’t believe the reviews…people who were tricked into buying this will not admit it due to the embarrassment and will just leave with a comment like “Good product”, “Nice” etc. And those giving 5 star rating with high regards are just biased/paid reviews. Don’t believe the Youtube reviews as well…there is an as shole who is like “specialised” in giving fake reviews of this ape xel products. Also, all the youtube reviews say that this lens will give a nice background blur/bokeh and depth of field…and they show an example footage of the bokeh effect by shooting an object too close to the camera. Come on…you can get bokeh/background blur on any phone camera if you shoot nearby/close objects. You don’t need an extra lens for that. (try shooting a close-up of a coffee mug against a deep background in the frame) Overall, a below average, overpriced product.

See attached guide image for the actual zoom level. I guess the idea was to factor in the slight additional crop to remove the dark corners. On my POCO F3 which is 25.5mm eq. (wider focal lengths will have more darkening) and I'm using modded case with the back panel removed so the lens can sit as close to the main camera (and better image quality), there still some minor corner darkening when taking full width image (4:3). Nothing major. More significant is the lack of flare resistance which might be due to lack of coating on the glass which appears clear instead the tinted look of a coated lens. Weight of the lens itself is about 60g which is less than Ulanzi (and other brands) 65mm which weighs 70g. This is good for gimbals and less stress on the mount. Also MUCH better mounting clip than Ulanzi. Sharpness good, bokeh ok!
