SMALLRIG 1.33X Anamorphic Lens for Mobile Phone, 2.4:1 Wide Screen Deformation Filmmaking Lens with T-Mount, Phone Cinematic Lens for iPhone 15/14 / 13/12, for Samsung S21 / S22 Series - 4590

First off, I'm surprised at some of the lower-starred reviews which seem mostly based on user error (I'll give tips below to solve those issues), but then I need to remember, not everyone is as experienced with this kind of stuff as I am...I recently switched over to a full SmallRig setup from my previous setup where I was using a popular competitor's Anamorphic lens and case. The thing about the SmallRig setup is it's actually better made, more functional, and less expensive than the competitors! This Anamorphic lens yields great results when using the proper app and settings. It's really well made, and I love that it has a built-in 67mm Threaded Filter ring to attach whatever type of filter is needed. I did also got the complete set of SmallRig Filters, which include a Variable ND, CPL, and 1/4 Black Mist Filter.Here are some tips to get the best use out of this lens:First, don't use that silly clip! Why would anyone use a clip that will partially cover your screen? Just get a proper case that has a T-Mount to attach the lens to. The SmallRig case is actually really well made and less expensive than the popular competitor's cases I've used since 2017.Second, of course, you need an app that will allow for Anamorphic de-squeeze. I used to use other apps for this, but now I use the free Blackmagic Camera app for my iPhone 16 Pro, and it is the most feature-rich video app I have ever used for an iPhone with a great user interface, much like their actual Cinema Cameras (I used to own their Blackmagic 6k Pro Cinema Camera, so I have experience with this.)Overall, I love this lens and have been really impressed with all of their offerings, which has allowed me to build a proper Cinema Rig for my iPhone 16 Pro. Highly recommended!

This anamorphic lens, while rather inexpensive, works awesome once it’s lined up right. However, I ordered it for my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I have to put the mount askew to make it line up correctly with the camera lens. But it works great when correctly seated. You will also need specific apps to make sure the camera adjusts for the de-squeeze as it will not work correctly in the stock camera app.

As a few others have pointed out, 67mm threads on this lens are out of spec. My 67mm VND filter and CPL filter do not fit tightly. The threads on the lens are just slightly too big causing the filters to never tighten and just keep spinning. I thought it may be my filters. But I went ahead and bought the 67mm SmallRig VND filter and it does the same thing - does not fit the SmallRig lens tightly. This is the 2nd item I have had to return from SmallRig (first being their usb c hub).I really want to like the SmallRig products (love their cages). But they are lacking any kind of quality control. Many of their items are labeled as "frequently returned" on Amazon. I understand why now.The lenses itself works well enough. But one will never be able to securely attach a filter to this lens.

La lente es perfecta, pero antes de comprar deben de tener en cuenta una recomendación si piensan usarlas con su jaulas smallrig (en mi caso la de brandon li) no me funciono, sus entradas son muy pequeñas y la del lente es mas grande, la solución fue adquirir una placa (como la de la imagen) para la jaula y cambiarla, y solucionado ya entra la lente bien, pero si quieres usar el filtro ND con el que vienen la jaula ya no va servir porque es 52mm y para este lente que es de 67mm, entonces hay que comprar otro filtro aumentando el gasto. mi recomendacion si tienen la misma jaula hay que cambiar la placa y recomiendo comprar el filtro ND 67 de una vez, con eso esa placa y ese filtro va abarcar mejor que el filtro original, si no quieres comprar el filtro entonces vas a tener la tediosa tarea de cambiar placas cada vez que quieras usar la lente.Usar la lente con el gancho que trae es muy complejo encajarlo, ademas queda torcido, tapa parte de la aplicacion y las funciones quedan ocultas, entonces es necesario una jaula si o si y listos

Part of the reason I purchased was because it’s one of the few iPhone anamorphic lenses that allows me to use screw-on 67mm filters. Unfortunately, the threads don’t lock the filters in place and they spin. It’s okay if you’re not using a VND or CPL but if you are it creates an issue where you can’t rotate the front part of the filter without holding it in place. In general, having filters rotate like that is just not reliable for filmmaking.I’m sure it’ll be fine for folks not using filters, but for everyone else, look elsewhere.

I wasn't the biggest fan of this product. It took quite a bit to hook up and get the app working, and for all the work it took, it wasn't worth it for the price point. Maybe if it had a quicker way to hook it on and release it, I'd have a different feeling about this product.

Image quality is great, easy to attach to my existing rig. Built extremely well, anamorphic will change the look of your footage for an interesting effect. Nice large glass with bright images and cool lens flares. Works well with the Blackmagic camera app.

This lens offers nice wide shots from the iPhone with the clamp or adapter plate for a case. Recommended for utility.
