Mpow 3-in – 1, photographic lenses for all smartphones are tested

Home Reviews ,,,,, Those who love to take photos from their smartphone and want to have that little bit extra that offers them a different, more creative, or in general new and particular shot, can rely on one of the various interchangeable lens kits available on the market. There are several, in many cases specific to a particular generation of iPhone and others, such as the Mpow 3-in-1 that our editorial team has had the opportunity to try in recent days, which work well regardless of the device to which they will be hooked. .

In this specific case, it is guaranteed by a clip system that locks the lens in position above the phone's camera, thus allowing it to be hooked and unhooked in a few seconds to obtain the FishEye effect, or to take a wide-angle or macro photograph.

How they are made

Out of the small sales package we find two clips to which the two lenses are hooked through the appropriate screw: you can decide to screw them in and unscrew them using a single clip to save space in the trouser pocket, or immediately mount them both to always have them within reach. hand the lenses without having to waste time exchanging them every time.

The structure is made of good quality rigid plastic, the clamp extends just enough to easily attach to any phone, even the iPhone 7 with some we did some tests, as long as you do not use a case. In the case of cases, in fact, the adhesion of the lens is not optimal with the result that the images can be blurred. In any case, just remove the cover, in case you use one, to make the most of the lens kit.

How are they doing

The lenses, as anticipated, are two, however the 0.67X wide-angle lens can be unscrewed to show a third one, the macro one, which offers 10X magnification. Qualitatively speaking, the result is quite good, especially for macro enlargements where detail is really high in the center of the frame.

All three lenses instead lose at the edges: not too much for the macro lens which obviously offers a strong blur due to the reduced depth of field due to the use of the lens. Rather, it is the Wide Angle lens, and especially the FishEye lens, that suffer from loss of sharpness on the sides, however nothing transcendental since when you choose to use these lenses, the intent is to search for a creative shot by placing the subject in the center of the frame.

Conclusions and retail price

For those interested in buying, we point out that the entire kit is available on Amazon for only 11.99 euros, a very interesting price not only in the quality / price ratio, but especially in terms of compatibility with phones since it does not binds to a single brand or model, so in addition to temporarily lending them to partners and friends, you will be almost certain of being able to use them with the next smartphone you buy.
