Macro Photography Secret: The 5$ Lens that could

in #photography9 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone,
You've all seen some of my macro photos, and it may surprise you to hear that some of them were taken using my LG G3 Cellphone.

So, i'd like to share a secret, about a 5$ macro lens I found on Aliexpress. This is not an affiliate link or anything i'm trying to sell, just a warm recommendation.
It's a tiny clip-on X20 Macro Lens for your phone, and it does magic.

I guess you can find it in many places, I got it from Aliexpress Here

Here are some examples:

A tiny piece of hash

A fly

Have fun :)

Nice work. Have a nice day.

with such a zoom I assume you are using a stend or other support to keep the phone still

I didnt in these examples, my hand was leaning against the table, or a wall. the object has to be reall like a cm or two from the lens for it to be in focus, the depth of field is very shallow.

It would be awesome if you could post a pic when you used the lens vs when you didn't so I can see what it does!

You are right, I added some samples :) thanks :)
