Cinegain Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 From what I've seen the simpletons all seem shit, terrible corners, reduced sharpness/contrast, flaring, ghosting, etc, so keep expectations low. There's some with Schott glass, atleast get that if you must. Something like this doesn't look too gimmicky plastic fantastic, includes a 3x tele: If you just want the tele, another decent brand seems Apexel, they have a 60mm (2x) that you could attach to an iPhone case. Aukey perhaps. Of course, if you're up for something more interesting (or just expensive), Olloclip has been highly popular since forever and then there's tons of projects like Moment , Z-Prime, ALM, and Exolens to name a few. Some even go as crazy as creating an anamorphic adapter. Of course, while you're at it, you could even adapt system camera lenses like with the Beastgrip. But when you're looking at stuff like that... I'd say it might make more sense to e.g. just get and use a GX85 already. Nikkor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUKEY makes reasonably priced lenses. If you want the very best (and expensive), try Moment. They appear to better than almost everyone else around. By a margin.

webrunner5 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have the moondoglabs Anamorphic Lens. Not a telephoto lens but crazy good performance with it. But it cost 175 bucks so not too cheap. http://www.moondoglabs.com/. But it is probably the cheapest way to get a Anamorphic look. The iPhone 6s plus I use with it has a very impressive output with it in 4k. But with the lens on it I can not use my Came TV 32 bit 3 axis Gimbal because it is to heavy on the lens end to balance. Sucks because of that. So I have to use it tripod only or hand held which works pretty well amazingly. Not going to buy a larger Gimbal, too poor LoL. Zeiss has a set of iPhone lenses out also. But the are like 199 bucks each. great lens though. I agree the Moment ones for the money are probably the way to go if you use their case with them.

Nikkor Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks for the tips, but they are just too big for the use I wanted them for. I'd rather pick a smaller camera with a pancake lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
