Hi fellow p20 pro lovers,
Just like many, i bought the p20 pro for the awesome photo camera and i collected many different phone lenses over the years.
I use the lenses mostly for macro shots and some lenses has been a hit it miss due to sharpness and dark corners.
I own a couple cheap lenses and a few apexel kits with wide angle macro combo or the fish eyes star + star filter combo.
Now since 4 weeks i have this case:
http://www.kasecn.com/en/show.aspx?ID=1168
And i think its pretty good but not perfect.
The things i like is that the case feel very premium but its hard to get the phone out without using the provided tool.
Also the lens mount is 17mm so most my lenses bit while 2 didnt. I also bought a step adapter to go from 17mm to 37mm so that i can mount my bigger apexel macro+wide angle to my phone also.
What i like about the apexel macro is that the focus point is a bit further away so you dont have the be super close like my other 17mm macro lenses.
So now that i got my case and lens ready my next step is to try to use external light sources so that i can create beter focus in the photos and get better sharpness.
My lens case was 15 euros on aliexpress.
The 12 5x macro with wide angle was 10 euros and the 2 apexel macro lenses where 7 euro.
I also know that momentum makes nice lenses for some iphones and pixels but i dont think they will fit on this case.
Maybe some other users can recommend nice lenses?

Here are some photo's of my lenses and other gear.
Hi, can we have some examples of the photos you get with those lenses ?
I'm actually looking for some !
That camera case looks brilliant, should be more of them.
Any links for it to buy.
What sizes does it support?

you can find them on ebay and aliexpress but prices differ here and there and i got mine from ali for 15 euro. The case it self takes 17mm lenses, which is what most sold lenses are but i also got a step up ring that does 17mm to 37mm so that i can take the bigger lenses also without any problem. Check the first post with updated pics of the gear i got.

Hi Ritchie, I have just bought the Kase phone cover from AliExpress which arrived today. I too have a good 37mm macro lens but I can't find a step up ring from 17mm to 37mm. Can you tell me where you bought this please. Also, do you know if most of the Apexel lens sets are 17mm? It doesn't say online. Thanks.

Hi RiTCHiE007
I'm interested in finding a good quality but fair price camera lens kit for my huawei p20 pro, that DOESN'T require a specific case for the phone. Im quite pleased with my current case, and won't be taking a lot of photographs so that shouldn't be the main function for the case. The lens set you review here, is that usable without the case? or can you recommend a lens set that doesn't require a case?
Best regards
Andreas

Found an old disposable camera at work today, and snaffled the lens from it - 10mm diameter, 20mm focal length. Armed with a bit of blu-tack, I now have a THD microscope
Autofocus doesn't figure (it focuses fine but the range is only a few mm) - nevertheless I'm kinda smug about the results from 5 mins work with bit of junk and a craft knife
Next time you find something in the trash that used to be a camera, grab it!
nice!
i don't want to be a partycrusher... but....
http://www.quickmark.cn/En/basic/hotnews.asp?#200909211
...not as cheap as yours...
Yeah, found that when I googled, but aside from only fitting iphones it's a bit.... orange...
I vaguely remember someone was doing a commercial clip-on lens for the HD, but can't track it down. There are some blogs where they suggest using the lens from a DVD player, but I don't fancy cutting up a gadget worth more than the phone! Tried the lens from a dead webcam but it's too short - exxxxxxtreme zoom but out of focus except in the center.
Great result.
you can get one of the jewler's magnifying glass and use that as a macro lens
im looking for a zoom lens solution
As an ex S4 Zoom owner, I now have the K Zoom, and at the moment there is no dedicated thread. I've written quite a bit about the K Zoom since I've got it on Saturday.
Link to review and my 7 part S4 review http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/?s=Samsung+K+Zoom+review
Part 3 of the K Zoom is up tomorrow. If you click on any part of the review you will also see a link to the expanding K Zoom flickr set. Part 3 is a big part with camera specifics.
If you any questions I will answer them here.
The only bit I miss on the K Zoom from the S4 Zoom is the tripod mount is missing on the K Zoom. Otherwise , the K Zoom is better in every way.
Anyway, fire away any questions.

That's pretty cool.
I read your review and I agree with you. I prefer having 1080p res and a thin profile on my smartphone. After using the S4 and HTC One now I'll stick to the HTC One (terrible camera but great speakers and body), gave my wife the S4 Zoom since she doesn't mind. I'm glad the K Zoom is thinner but it seems it has some of the same issues that the S4 Zoom has also, and it also has bad sound quality.. It shows that Samsung did not work too hard on this other than the body (which looks really good) and adding the same TW software that the S5 has.

Sound quality isn't bad. It's just not as good as the HTC One M8 for example.
My review (as posted on Galaxy Camera Section)
So, I got the Galaxy K Zoom on launch day and my first impressions are WOW! It has far exceeded my expectations in many ways.
The build quality is really good, it feels solid and it looks really nice (I have the black one). I thought the screen might be sub standard being only 720p but it really is sharp and bright and although super AMOLED the colours are not saturated at all. They have got the balance right in my opinion and the size is right too. It doesn't feel particularly bulky or heavy and the casing is grippy.
I didn't have a lot of time but I did a quick comparison test with photographs taken from it in the same spot with my Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Galaxy Camera. I have to say the shots on the K Zoom at 10x optical were on a par with the Galaxy Camera and better than the S4 Zoom. I also tried 20x zoom that's 10 optical +10x digital and the results were far better than I expected, actually they were great. Low light level shots came out better than the Galaxy Camera as did the video recording.
There are tons of scene modes and not forgetting the excellent AF/AE mode – This lets you choose separate parts of the picture to act as exposure metering and focus points. The only thing missing oddly enough is the tilt shift (or selective focus) as seen on the S5, I am not sure why that wasn't included. I also thought there was mean't to be an LED flash in addition to the Xenon, for video use but that's missing and there's no notification LED. But no great loss.
But overall, it a massive improvement over the S4 Zoom and it's definitely good enough to replace my Galaxy Camera. It's pocketable, has full mobile phone function, better screen, battery life, interface and Android Kit-Kat on board. Missing only a tripod mount (I bought a smartphone tripod mount accessory to solve this) and that extra 10x zoom if we're talking Galaxy Camera comparison.
I have only been using it for a day but I am bowled over. I have no regrets replacing the Galaxy Camera with this baby.

I tried to leave a comment on your review on your blog, but it just boots me off. So I cut and paste it here:
Whilst this is an excellent in depth review, and I love the sample pics you have posted by the way! I thought I would add my findings. As I have also included a mini review above obviously I have a K Zoom and I have not experienced any crashes at all. Maybe you have a memory card issue? Also I didn't think the sound was bad at all. It's subjective granted but I have heard much worse. "Story Album" works perfect for me too, so I am wondering if you have some 3rd party app conflict. I also have no reception problems.
My biggest criticism of your review is I don't think it's fair to compare it to an S5 or HTC One M8. The K Zoom isn't a flagship top end device like the S5. So the missing features you complain of are a cost cutter and as long as the camera side performs well (which it does) then I am happy I bought it for that reason. At £360 (pre order cost) I think it's an absolute bargain. You're not going to get an S5 with an optical zoom camera for that price.

I didn't reply to this part yesterday. Was busy sorting through 700 photos . I like you mini review too.
I assume you've read the other parts of the review as they got published daily. Also my flickr account photo set is getting bigger as we speak.
The reason I compared the K Zoom with the S5 was not to knock it but to give people who are used to that sort of phone an idea of the differences and then it leaves them seeing whether it matters or not. Personally, the only things I miss with my S5 is the notification led , waterproofing, and the screen. Obviously the S5 costs £200 more, but I thought it showed that in reality the K Zoom has all the essentials and more.
In fact in use I don't know of any camera let alone phone that can take over 700 photos in one day and still have battery remaining. Awesome.

I ordered mine on the 26th too (experience store Westfield London) and received it on launch day (30th) so not sure why yours is delayed they told me there was plenty of stock. Unless you ordered a blue one which are due mid June. Still waiting for the case to arrive though.

Ha! I was also in the process of ordering a blue one until I realised it had a delayed launch and I just wasn't patient enough to wait 2 more weeks! Having said that, the black one looks fantastic, I'm very pleased with my choice.
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
I agree black IMO is the best colour for this phone. I have the S5 too, which should be sold today. I chose white for this as this was the best colour for it. Black looked too boring on it.
But black on the K Zoom is awesome.
In case anyone wants a direct link to my growing K Zoom flickr set https://www.flickr.com/photos/gavinfabl100/sets/72157644532639249/
Don't forget my blog has had daily review updates on the K Zoom.
Can't believe what Samsung have managed to achieve with this phone. So good.

Has anyone found a good smartphone camera lens that clips onto the oneplus 5 and fits around the camera hump. Something like a olloclip or any smartphone lens kit.
Since the lenses are in a very similar place to the iPhone, I would hazard a guess that iPhone accessories might work just fine.

I have looked into that however the only iphone 7+ camera lens i could find requires a case and I believe that the other lens kit requires a single camera system only. If you find any could you post the link in the thread.

Hi. Any further thoughts on this? I found something called '4 in 1 camera lens for OnePlus 5 macro wide angle lens'... (can't post link sorry). Has anyone tried?
Probably more expensive than you're wanting, but it fits flawlessly in a Koziro Cinima Mount 2 - it's amazing for filming with, but you need a right angle adapter if you want to use an external microphone. I got mine for half this price on ebay.
Finally a dual lens solution for OnePlus
I brought this lens system for my 1+5
works like a charm, amazing quality. now my phone is on adrenaline

Anybody here tried some lens for the P20/P20P camera? What model you tried and how does it perform?!?
Here is one using 52mm star 8+ under night mode
i'd love love a good wide angle one. i almost regret selling my v30 and upgrading to this. never use the zoom, but would have used wide angle as my default. anyone? the post above looks good clean enough at 52mm

I have use for my S8 BlitzWolf Mobile Phone Lens, and they was fantastic. Very, very good camera lens. But now I cant use it on P20 Pro. On back cameras and front camera when you put lens, every time photo is blur. I dont know why?
I would like to know is they any good wide angle lens for P20 Pro.

IMHO, the p20 pro cameras all work in tandem, at least the 40mp + 10mp monochrome. You will suffer from diminished quality since your universal lens addon is only attached to one lens.

It wasnt anounced that they worked together, but they have in the past so they probably do. We'll see, I might try one if nobody else does.

You can try but based on what I know, you will be making some sacrifices here and there.
For instance, there are a bunch of sensors used for colour detection and a focus sensor sandwiched between the colour and zoom lens. If you use those clip on lenses you will be blocking the sensors.
The cameras I'm 99.999999999% sure they work together. That's the whole point of their marketing. A dedicated monochrome sensor to enhance image quality etc etc.
With multiple cameras in our phones these days, aftermarket add on lens means you get more trade offs when you use one of them.
i recently ordered one off Amazon. An AUKEY one for $10cdn
thinking having the wide angle would come in handy.
I will report back the quality of the pics when its clipped on. If im not satisfied, i will simply return it.

Yep. The phone uses at least two of the sensors together, if not all three.
Taken using a 0.45x super wide angle lens under night mode.
Can you take a picture with and without that wide lens so we can see the difference?

I got one of these for my old phone, didn't know what to expect
This is where ois really plays a part.
Did you know how many times it says "ONE POUND" on a one pound coin,?
From the macro I got I could see it !!
Amazing
25 times
Those bobbles aren't bobbles. They're words.
I'd recommend it so long as they're high grade. No plastic holders
Good morning,
Any link to buy it, or trade?

I don't have it with me pal.
The macro and the Tele lenses were the best if I recall correctly.
I'm sure there are images online.
I bought a kit a few years ago. 2015 to be exact. Nothing crazy. In fact it was like $9.99. Ill try to link the amazon link when i find it. I took some shots for you, let me figure out how to post those pictures. I used the 40mgp sensor and shot in raw mode. Cant find a way to post pictures ill link my ig account. Ill let it public so you can see them antrax360
Now this is really old, and quality is not great. But i saw an ad here and i decided to look for my macro lenses that i had just laying around and decided to test it on the p20. Im pretty sure there are better options out there.

nice, and i really like the up shot on the tree. I got a couple macro lenses my self the the higher priced they are the better the focal lenght is
Here are some shots with the apexel 12.5 macro. You can still see the red focus laser dope in the photo but i got these metal camera protectors that will cover it so ill post more later with better results
Apexel 12.5 macro 37mm
