The iPhone is capable of capturing plenty of varying scenes, and has been for many years. Ever since iPhone 11 Pro, we’ve had a triple camera array, allowing for ultrawide, wide, and telephoto shots. Despite this, many companies still offer third party lens solutions for your iPhone, allowing you to capture even more with your iPhone.
ShiftCam is one of those companies, and today I’ll be reviewing their LensUltra Fisheye lens. It’s like an Ultrawide, but with a bit more perspective.
Overview
When using this Fisheye lens with your iPhone’s wide-angle lens, you can get an ultrawide-like perspective, but with the better image quality of your main wide-angle lens. You also get the same type of distortion you’d get with a 360 camera, allowing for a unique look compared to what’s built into your iPhone.
The lens comes with a nice fabric pouch for carrying it around, and it also comes with a cleaning pen and polishing cloth. To mount it on your iPhone, you’ll need one of ShiftCams cases – though they are quite nice.
Photos
Once you have everything set up, you can start taking some nice photos, and I’ll be delving into a couple of my samples.
