How much of a game changer is a wide-angle lens on the iPhone? More than you think. And when combined with the current standard and zoom lenses a wide-angle lens is nothing short of amazing. The ability to shoot from an effective 18mm (or wider) all the way to 2x zoom makes the iPhone one of the most versatile cameras ever to fit in your pocket.
To be fair, this is not the first time we’ve had a wide-angle lens on an iPhone. Starting with the original Moment Wide lens there has been a solid 18mm option for virtually all iPhones since even before the iPhone 6. The catch? You had to manually attach the lens when you wanted to shoot wide and you had to carry it with you when it was not attached to your iPhone.
Let me be clear…this was an awesome solution for anyone who wanted to shoot wide while on the go and I spent many fun years shooting with my Moment Wide 18mm lens. If you have no plans to purchase the new iPhone and you are rocking something newer than a 6S I still would highly recommend checking out what Moment has to offer. However, if you are in the market for a new smartphone and can stomach the prices for the latest from Apple…a better option would be to go “Pro”…
