Freewell 1.33x Blue Anamorphic Lens Compatible with 17mm Mount iPhone, Samsung - Premium Smartphone Lens for Wide Cinematic Shots & Bold Blue Flares

Beautifullly made works great

Perfect anamorphic lens for iPhone with Beastcage. Ease of use and assurance of proper fit is helped by leveling bubble. The lens should have detent or way to lock lens in place once level is set. You can accidentally hit out of alignment so be careful to check level between takes if you are running handheld

Great on the s25 ultra... With the NEEWER cage. Do it now...

Image quality:There was a considerable amount of fish eye around the edges of all of the videos shot. Gives off a very Beastie Boys music video vibe instead of wide and cinematic. Couldn't seem to get around this with any settings in Blackmagic, so I will have to see what can be done in post-production. This effect can be seen in sample videos posted for the same (1.55x Gold Anamorphic) lens.Functionality:It works, but keep in mind you'll need a steady hand and likely a gimbal as the lens remains locked in place in line with your phone's rotation. Using it in a gimbal required some fussing around as the lens itself is so heavy and my phone so small (relatively) that I needed to account for that with offset mounting and/or counterweights. The way your phone is secured to the gimbal might also become a problem due to the size of the lens, so there are a lot of considerations to be made. Not for the point-and-click nature of most people taking videos/photos with a smartphone.The case that it came with is fantastic. Of such quality that I had no reservations about packing it away in my checked bags on a recent trip to Japan (albeit surrounded by socks and underwear). Not a big fan of listings like this one that combine all of the reviews for all of these lenses together. Keep that in mind when reading these, that listings for the Freewell 1.55x Gold Anamorphic Lens and 6x telephoto lens, for example, are combined to make the rating.

The media could not be loaded. Very nice and easy to use even for my iPhone 15 or adapted to a Samyang 35mm f2.8 Sony E mount. I just needed to create my own 49 to 17mm adapter so I can coupled to my camera lens.

Highly impractical tool, and here's why:Useless without a tripod, and honestly when does anyone ever carry around a tripod with their iPhone?This is a manual focus lens, does not work with the auto focus of the camera, and the zoomed in image on your screen will shake so much you'll never be able to tell if you are in focus or not.One star may not be fair - after all it's very well built - but if you can't use it on the go, it defies its purpose.Good in theory only.

Love the lens. Thank you

I recently used the 1.33 blue Anamorphic lens for my Samsung galaxy s 24 Ultra to video tape both my newborn twins, I am very much happy with this lens, it allows me to get the shot I need when recording them both at hospital at the same time. To clarify something if you do move to much their is vignetting when shooting handheld but since my babies are in the crib from time to time I dont really have to move to much, later ill be trying this out with a Gimbal.
