Last month I bought the Lifetrons photo lens system. It came in a small box and contain a small pouch that contain all lenses. I was previously excited about the Sony smartphone attachable lens series but after reading some online reviews, I dropped the idea. Lifetrons lens came by accident. I didn't intend to buy it but just happen to bum into it on a plane ride to Chiang Mai. The on board shopping catalog featured this product. I inquired about the product just to learn that there are only 2 sets on board and they are sold.
On my return trip, even before the plane taking off. I approached the stewards to book it. With a serious look, the air steward ensure me that he will check the balance stock and make sure I get it. Minutes later the plane took off. Just when the seat belt signs is off, he looked my direction from the front of the plane. He gave a thumb up signalling that it is available. Appreciated the effort!
I know most probably nobody is reading this. Nahhhh.... just write a review.
The pouch contain 3 lens namely the wide lens, fish eye and macro lens. Inside has 2 kind of clip for different smartphone. The edge clip sits nicely on a iphone 5s.
It is handy to bring around in my sling bag wherever I go as the pouch measured about 5 x 2 inches. The flower type clip fits the front and back of ipad too.
The wide lens need to be attached to the macro lens in order to work. The result is the wider photo angle.
Fish eye lens is quite a turn down as we know that the spherical effect is the purpose of fish eye lens. Using the edge clip will not show the full circular picture no matter how I tried. The flower clip kind of corrected the issue but is still not perfect.
