A review of a smartphone lens attachment that opens the door to easy macro photography.

After you mount the grip on the back side of the phone, you can slide the lens mount right and left to align it with the normal lens if your phone has multiple lenses. The entire grip can slide up and down vertically to help center the lens behind the hole on the lens mount. The lens is a good hunk of glass with a removable circular polarizer in front. After removing the tiny cap on the back of the lens, it can be screwed in place.

There may still be a little vignetting around the corners that can be eliminated by fine-tuning the lens position in front and then zooming in a little. I found the starting zoom setting around 1.25x comfortable. Although the macro lens does not require touching the subject like the microscope adaptor, it still needs to get quite close to the subject. One important feature of this adaptor is the built-in tripod socket and even a cold shoe to mount a small light.

I tried a small tabletop tripod as the first step in stabilizing it. I mounted the whole gear on it with a small LED light at the top. I tried and took several photographs with that setup, but the tripod height not being adjustable posed a problem.Macro lens kit on a table tripod If you mount your kit on a tripod, have a subject stand that can get very close to the lens. It has to be within 4 cm – 7 cm from the lens front. That is approximately 1.75″ – 2.75″. For even more control, I mounted my adaptor and camera on a focusing rail that allowed me to move it back and forth as needed like in most macro photography.Working that close to your subject results in a shallow depth of field, which is not uncommon in macro photography.

I even experimented with rudimentary focus stacking. After photographing the dried rose flower by focusing on different parts, I blended them in Photoshop. Since the gear was steady on the tripod, I even did an HDR blend of the little bud on the stem.
