Beware! Buying used camera gear is addictive.

Finding the lens or camera you want at a lower price is great, but even better is finding older, discontinued models that can give that retro look with no editing required.

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter.
