Macro lens for smart phone?

[Wtyson254]

Anyone know of a good macro lens for an iPhone?

I'm interested as well.

The Olloclip seems good, but I don't have any experience with it.

I bought this off of amazon for $30.

Here some macro shots with the lenses

Thanks!! These pic are taken with I phone 6s with a life proof case on it. I hope I helped you guys out.

So I bought the same set and am a little dissappointed the only thing I can get good macro shots on have to be within about an inch of the lens. Obviously that's the whole point of a macro lens but I'm guessing they have various ranges... I'd like one that lets me get shots from further away if that's even an option. If you haven't guessed, I don't know a whole lot about photography :-)

Looks like a good start to me!

Looking back at it mine is not the same set as Yoda's... Same brand different set.

@Yoda0311 what is the magnification of your lens?

 

[Yoda0311]

Here's the ones I have. I also use a life proof and put the phone and lens in my tank and get up close and personal with my corals. Most of my fish don't like it yet but hopefully they get used to it. My clown kinda doesn't mind it. But it's the only fish that will eat from my hand. @donnievaz

I'm thinking about trying this out to filter out blue light.

I run halides so I don't have to worry about the blue bothering me. I don't like LED's at all. I was thinking about adding T5s with my halides tho

I used to run a Halide and really do miss how great those pics were.

I alway end up burning my corals with LED's and then they bleach and never come bacc. I tried them when they were all the hype but I will sticc to what I know works. And I can say it is a noticeable difference in growth from halides to LED's

 

[donnievaz]

I had to pick between getting LED's or keeping the MH and buying a chiller...
