<< Coral **** >> Do Cheap Cameras Exist?

Coral P O R N
So I currently use my iPhone 8 plus to take all of my photographs of my reef aquarium.

Before I just buy a phone lens, I want to see what my alternatives under $200ish are?

Also, if the phone lens route is my best option, can anyone recommend a couple of brands for me to either purchase or stay away from?

¡Thank you so much coral friends!

Download “aquarium camera” on your phone. It’s $4 and is amazing. Lets you filter out all of the blues.

I have the orphek clip on lens for my S23 ultra. Works quite well. I can do orange filter for no blue, or yellow for just a hint of blue, and a macro lens, that actually works quite well.

This is the newer one for those extra wide camera's(newer iphone, new samsungs, etc). I have an older model with just 3 lens's.

Apple cameras slam the blues so hard, it makes our tanks look awful. Much moreso than Samsung.

I have an S21 Ultra and continue to prefer pics from my S7 with Polyplab Coralview lens.

Any camera you buy will require a lens for reef aquarium pictures. I also use the Orphek Lens. I use a Hoya 85C lens for my dslr camera. Also, adjusting the white balance settings manually will help as well.
