Which Moment Mobile Lens Is Right For Me?

Updated

Read about the Moment mobile lenses and which is right for you, including the T-Series Wide 18mm, Tele 58mm, Fisheye 14mm, Macro 10x, and Anamorphic.

1. Wide 18mm Lens

Best for Architecture + Street Photos

When To Use It: Made for the everyday photographer and filmmaker, first-time mobile lens users, and those capturing landscapes, interiors, kids, and tabletop scenes. Capture the entire sunset from the top of your hike, not just part of it — document kids and pets without having to back up and miss the moment in the process.

Our 18mm Wide T-Series Lens is the perfect wide-angle lens for mobile photographers and filmmakers. Our first baby we made back in 2012 and still the most beloved attachable lens, despite how far camera phones have come.

Unlike typical phone lenses that give you a distorted ultra-wide picture, we pride lens in giving you a wide yet authentic view with total clarity. The many layers of glass gives you a vast 100-degree field tailored for today's super low phone apertures. As a result, you can pretty much shoot twice as much scenery with a more natural look, even in dim lighting.

The 18mm focal length is as versatile as they come and are perfect for literally everything: pretty landscapes, city views, and architectural shots. Additionally, it's great for group photos on vacations, indoor shots, street photography, and vlogging, providing depth in the foreground and a broader range.

2. Tele 58mm Lens

Best for Portraits

When To Use It: Photographers who want close-up landscapes, action, and portraits. Filmmakers who want that compressed look. Capture the deer on your hike, the action on a soccer field, or the skyline from your hotel window. Its natural depth of field becomes even more dramatic when shooting on the newest devices, serving beautiful bokeh and creamy tones.

Overview: This telephoto lens has aged into a fantastic portrait lens. Sharp in the center with a natural drop-off on the edges, you can capture more intimate shots of people, nature, and still-life scenes. Designed for the broader apertures of the latest generation of phone cameras, the six-element design is precision polished to achieve an extra-low dispersion rate. Expect the same dreamy bokeh and natural background compression that comes from shooting through telephoto glass, with stunning clarity and better low-light performance at higher image resolutions.

3. SuperTele 240mm

Best for Wildlife and Sports

When To Use It: Wildlife photographers will get the most obvious use out of it, but it's just as good for parents shooting from the sidelines of a soccer game, concertgoers who want more than a blurry stage from the back row, or travelers trying to capture something far off without lugging a full camera bag. It's also a fun one for street photographers looking to shake up their usual perspective. Basically, if the subject is far away and the moment matters, this is the lens to reach for.

Overview: The SuperTele 240mm is one of the standout releases ever made for an iPhone. It's a fixed focal length lens, so there's no zooming in and out, just one really long reach built specifically for getting close to stuff that's far away. Think sports, wildlife, concerts, the kind of shooting where you need real distance between the shooter and the subject but still want every detail to hold up.

That's the big difference here. Digital zoom just crops in and gets soft and mushy the further it's pushed. This lens uses actual cinema grade glass, so shooters get real optical reach instead of a cropped, pixelated mess. The detail holds up even when shooting something way off in the distance.

The compression is what really stands out. When shooting long, all those layers in a scene start stacking together, and the subject just lifts right off the background. It gives everything a cinematic, almost dreamy look that can't be faked with portrait mode or any kind of software trick. It just looks like a real camera shot it.

For anyone who's wanted that big lens look without lugging around a big lens, this is it.

Designed to work on the Periscope Lenses of modern smartphones. Compatible with iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro & iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro/iPhone 17 Pro Max over the telephoto lens.

3. Anamorphic Lenses

The Holy Grail of Filmmaking

Range: It comes in 1.33x and 1.55x with delicious flares, an unbeatable cinematic touch with true black bars, and gorgeous flares in either Gold or Blue.

Who’s It For: Perfect for any filmmaker or photographer who likes cinematic stills. Now you can shoot like the pros on your phone. Cylindrical optics and efficient vintage-style anti-reflection lens coatings create the highly desired horizontal flares associated with vintage anamorphic lenses.

Overview: The 1.55x Anamorphic T-Series Lens is our most cinematic mobile anamorphic yet. With a 20% wider aperture compared with our M-Series family, you can unleash the full resolution of the latest generation camera sensors in an epic 2.76:1 aspect ratio. This is backed up by a larger three-element design made from HD glass for increased clarity and low-light performance with the same iconic anamorphic flare.

The Gold Flare edition was inspired by the classic 1.5x Iscorama 54. Less sci-fi and more neutral, this combination gives you rich tones and golden flares with an ultra-wide format that will take your videos to the next level. This lens will make your videos pop indoors or during golden hour. The Blue Flare brings that early 1960s cinematic look to your phone. Inspired by JJ Abrams films, this lens gives you that brighter, sci-fi-looking flare when shooting into headlights, street, or directional lights.

Wondering what squeeze to go with? The 1.33x mobile lens is an all-terrain aspect ratio that works great for photos or videos with less distortion at the edges. Shooting on 1.55x gives you the most dramatic letterbox image with slightly more softness at the margins for a truly cinematic feel that is perfect for video.

4. Fisheye 14mm Lens

Best for Funky Scenes or Skateboarding

Range: 14mm Focal Length

When To Use It: Tight scenes won’t be cut off, landscapes will appear larger than life, and cropped video will become a thing of the past. It's incredibly useful for taking selfies or vlogging, filming yourself doing sports, and a fun tool for filming vertical Instagram stories. Made for creatives who want to pack a lot into the frame — filmmakers, documentary-style photographers, athletes, architects, vloggers, and Instagram users.

Overview: Our 14mm Fisheye T-Series Lens is the most expansive super-wide lens we've ever developed. It boasts an impressive 200-degree field of view and produces images 30% wider than the typical 120-degree ultra-wide phone lenses. Termed a 'full frame fisheye,' this lens optimizes the entire image sensor of the newest camera phones. This ensures no dark edges or vignetting, resulting in a uniformly crisp image from corner to corner. One reason for its superior sharpness is its 20% larger aperture of bi-aspheric glass in our T-Series mount. Moreover, mounting over the phone's inherent wide lens allows more light intake and leverages the phone's high-resolution capabilities. Simply put, this lens offers the widest and sharpest imaging experience for mobile photography.

5. Macro Lenses

Best for Plants or Textures

Range: 10x as close or 75mm focal length

When To Use It: Made for nature photographers, food porn lovers, and creatives who obsess over the details. Marvel at the details of a ladybug in your garden or inspect the intricacies of a handmade piece of jewelry.

Overview: The Macro T-series Lens captures life-sized images of the smallest objects and comes in two different focal lengths: the 10x macro and a 75mm focal length. Unlike traditional macro photography, this lens works less than an inch away from the subject to capture rich textures, materials, and living things that our phones were never before able to see. The Moment T-Series Macro Lens is made from crystal clear HD glass and has a 20% bigger aperture tuned to the latest generation of smartphone cameras. This means you can capture tiny details in massive resolution with an intense and natural-looking depth of field.
