I recently just got myself some phone lens, to see if they can add value to my photographs. I had that desire ever since I wanted to take good close-ups, and, well, since I'm still saving up for that dream DSLR, I thought that it would be good to try a phone lens!
I went down to Challenger, and bought a 3-in-1 lens for SGD$10. It is supposed to have a fish-eye lens, a wide-angle lens, as well as a macro lens (which I really wanted). However, I only saw two lens - which I assume to be the wide-angle lens and the macro lens. No idea where the third one is - or whether I'm supposed to do some configuration with the two.
Here are some photos to test it out!
Wide lens / Fish-eye lens
I had a comparison shot taken between my own phone camera and my phone camera with the wide lens.
Without Wide-angle Lens
With Wide-angle Lens
With the wide-angle lens, it seems to be able to capture more of the surroundings. It has that slight fish-eye effect.
However, one of the drawbacks is the black rim that you can see at the side of the picture - it has to do with the outer rim of the lens interfering with the camera's vision.
Macro Lens
I was quite excited to test this out. Here are some shots with the lens.
While it is able to capture more detail for close-ups, the focus is only at the centre of the picture. Either I need more time to adjust to this lens (and improve my skills)
