This week has been exciting as I got some lenses for my phone to try out. They are from a company called Struman Optics and they are the best ones I’ve seen so far. I really like the macro lens, and you can get so close.
I have two photos taken with them. The first one is from my garden. It is a marigold that hasn’t opened yet.
The second one I took at Alowyn Gardens today.
It blows my mind how close you can get to the flowers.
Speaking of Alowyn Gardens, I’m going to be teaching a Macro Photography class there on the 29th of October. I’m really excited at the prospect of it. Should be a good day.
I’m loving the photos you managed to take they angles and everything are great!
Thank you so much, that is good to hear.
Brilliant shots Leanne .. is your phone an iPhone?
Thank you Julie, no, I have a Samsung phone, but the lenses work on iPhones as well.
These are stunning images, Leanne. I can’t believe you captured these with your phone! How do the lenses work?
Thank you Reggie, I know what you mean, I am blown away by how good the lenses are, I might have to see if I can keep them. lol
This is interesting. I’m going to look again at these lenses. I did try one once on my iPhone 6splus, but it wasn’t good at all ( I wasn’t expecting much as it cost about the same as a good cup of coffee! )
Yeah, I guess you get what you pay for, these ones will cost you a lot more than a good cup of coffee, but they are great lenses. Thank you Helen.
I’ve looked them up. They do look good ! 😄 Have you ever tried Zeiss ones?
They are great, I’m loving them. I have never tried the Zeiss ones, didn’t know they did them.
I think they do. Not sure now! 😉
might have to check it out. 😀
Ps I reckon that good quality lenses on iPhones will be the next big thing. Less to carry everywhere. 😄
I think you might be right Helen, especially for people who just want photos, like those that used compact cameras.
Beautiful! Technology is grand!
Thank you, and it is, it fantastic.
Amazing how close you can get to the flowers and still produce first-class images! But to have special macro lenses for a phone is mind-blowing. Thanks for the info, Leanne!
It is mind blowing Peter, they are incredible. I think they are really good. You’re welcome Peter, and thank you.
Really nice to see a review of these lenses from someone known!
Thank you Chris, I will write a lot more about them at some stage.
Beautiful.
Thank you Jonathan
