Indispensable equipment of Mobile phone's light photography - SIRUI Wide Angle lens Evaluation

Nowadays with the advancement of mobile phone photographing technology, more and more people are accustomed to photographing with their mobile phones, thus a new group of people called 'Mobile Phone Light Photographing' has been brought out. A group of photographing fans is able to create amazing works with their mobile phones. However, due to the limitation of mobile phones's short focal length, in particular scene, a mobile phone's camera is not able to meet with people's photographing demands. For instance, to shoot some super wide scene during travelling, you don't have super wide-angle lens; for some macro photography creation, your phone does not have such ability. Fortunately this is not a problem anymore, the following lens being talked about can help to solve big-scene photographing problem you would meet during your travelling: SIRUI 18mm mobile phone wide-angle lens-18WA.



Small and Portable, Fine workmanship

SIRUI 18-WA lens is a kind of 18mm wide-angle lens especially designed for iPhone, applicable to iPhone6/6S, iPhone6 Plus/iPhone6S Plus as well as iPhone SE.



The lens is an attaching mobile phone wide-angle lens. It needs its own matching clap to fix the lens for photographing. There is a layer of rubber gasket for protection on the two ends of the clap so as not to scratch the phone. It also increases friction force, better fixing the lens.





The lens adopts a composition of 6 pieces in 6 groups. Through correction of layer upon layer, it achieves an outstanding performance of no damage on photo quality, no distortion, no chromatism and no dark corner. The material used is sufficient; the pure metal material gives you a sense of heaviness. There is also a metal loti-form hood on the front of the lens which can effectively prevent glare. From the side, you can see the front lens is slightly protruded.








The lens' focal length is equivalent full-frame 18mm, its view angle can reach 95o. Whether it is used to shoot scenes,buildings, group photos or self-snapshot, it can hold wider view and it is more convenient to use. It can also amplify close objects, shrink far objects so as to increase distance perception and make the person have long and deep perspective effect.


Wider View, Clear and no Distortion

In comparison, photos under wide angle can include more beautiful sceneries into picture than the photos under ordinary lenses, and the photos are more shocking visually. This is also one of the most important reasons for our expectation on this wide-angle lens.  Then, is SIRUI 18-WA lens actually satisfactory?  The editor specially chose the Galaxy SOHO as shooting object. These buildings are beautiful due to their unique forms and lines, and each scene is very suitable for this lens to shoot. We compared the effects to see the shooting performance after using this lens.
