Moment 18mm Wide Lens for iPhone – M-Series Mobile Lens for Ultra-Wide Photos & Videos

I purchased this lens to be able to use it at one of my daughter's cheer events and my other daughter's hockey games. For the cheer event, I was able to get the entire area of the mat and the shots came in clear. The lens is surprisingly good. For the hockey game, I still have to pan right and to get the whole sheet of but get the entire half of the rink without issue.The lens is solid and has a bit of weight but it uses quality parts so that is not much of an issue. It comes with a bag and lens cap for when not in use.Mounting the lens requires a phone case that is sold separately. It is a good case so worth the cost to protect your phone.Sadly the lens is too heavy for the DJI 4 Gimble. It kept releasing the motors to prevent damage. Since the DJI 4 is all automated there is nothing you can do to counterbalance it but that is for another review.Get the DJI 3 Gimbal and there are good videos on youtube that will make it work well with this lens.

I bought the case, a tele lens and this wide lens from Moment. The case and lenses are premium quality, the case is grippy without being too bulky. The lenses attach securely and deliver excellent picture quality as they are real coated glass. The lenses are small enough to pocket for going mobile. With a lens attached to my iPhone XS Max it added a bit of heft to the phone so I typically detached the lens when done using it. I took some amazing shots of the Singapore city skyline at night from the top of the Sands ‘surfboard’ observation deck that took no learning curve to achieve great results.The only caveat I can offer is that you must use the Moment app to use the lenses with a dual lens iPhone, or they won’t work. The native camera app doesn’t let you choose the lens, so you wind up with the lens obscuring the camera’s view. The app is an extra cost, and honestly Moment should let lens buyers have the app for free since you can’t use the lenses on a dual lens phone without it.

I love, love, love Moment lenses for the iPhone…especially the wide angle lens. It’s obvious this is a top of the line product. It’s so sturdy and my more artistic photos go to a higher level. You DO need to also purchase a Moment case for the lens’s to attach to and that’s an extra $50 you’re going need to shell out on top of the lens itself. But the case I got was sturdy and the lens easily locks on to the case. If you want to up-your-game with iPhone camera (I have an iPhone 12 Max), I recommend this lens. I have tried less expensive lenses and they don’t even come close to the quality of this lens.

This small and "Semi" easy to use lens easily improves any picture's quality you take with your phone by about 5-10 times! Such an awesome and POWERFUL lens! It easily competes with my Canon Rebel T6 professional camera! Although it's not just a plug and snap lens, you do need to get used to the new wider angels, and learn to put the lens in just right, otherwise your pictures will not come out right. Also for the price I got($79.99 at the time) It does cut into the wallet a bit. However it is, in my opinion, worth every cent!

The lens works very well. Good sharpness and color rendition. It is a vast improvement on other clip on lens I have used. Just make sure that you have the main subject of the picture centered and perpendicular to the ground. Any angle deviation from perpendicular tends to create distortion on the outsides of the image. It reminds me of one of my all time favorite lens which was a Nikkor 24mm with less parallax correction. The lens works well with the case but be aware that the combination of the two becomes remarkably heavy after a couple of hours compared to just a phone and a case. Wish they had a rear lens cover as the lens goes on and off a lot. The case is well made, grippy and looks good in black but understandably is a bit thicker than a regular case. All in all this is a great lens at a reasonable price.

I have to test this lens more than I have, but here is my initial response. The lens housing is constructed well and feels solid. Glass is nice for such a small lens and adds another dimension to mobile photo & video creativity. Be advised that the lens does not function in the portrait mode. I feel that it's a little too pricey, that's why I only give it four stars in the value for money category. Comes with a soft carrying case and a front lens cap (no rear). For a $120 lens, they should have included a rear lens cap instead of banging the consumer for another $5 bucks! For those who need to know, I have an iPhone 7+ with the Moment iPhone Photo Case and a Shuttercase for iPhone. I like the twist and snap-in lens case design on both cases.

Camera: Pixel 2XLRatio: 4:3 (12.2MP)Case: Moment Pixel 2XLLens: Moment Wide V2 (18mm)Apps: Google Camera (native) & Moment AppI purchased this lens due to the online reviews and sample images regarding edge-to-edge sharpness.The lens is very well built. The lens bayonet and the case work well together, and the lens is easy to install and remove from the case. There is some flexing at the case mount, which I have concerns with over time\use.I took a couple photos of subjects at approximately 2-3 feet. The results were satisfactory.I took several landscape photos, but the results were very poor (blurry), and prompted my attempts to contact Moment support (they never responded), and ultimately, the return of the product (case and lens).The lens produces images that have severe blurring at 45 degrees to the edges beyond 10 feet (an estimation). I even purchased the Moment app to experiment with the difference in quality, in the event that the lens required some post-processing algorithms. I shared my before\after lens photos with Moment.Did the case warp? Is the lens defective? I'll never know unless Moment is willing to work with me to resolve the issues and prove the capability of this lens with the right case on my Pixel 2XL (for which there are excellent sample images online).Purchase at your own risk. The reviews show the potential, but I could not reproduce anything close to those results.
