I take pictures of birds and the iPhone camera is pretty much useless for it, but so is every camera without a super telephoto lens. I wish there was some kind of retractable zoom lens as an addon or something for the iPhone camera.
- Synaesthesia 5y agoWith new Samsungs (S21 ultra) and other Chinese phones like Xiaomi and Huawei you get quite a lot of optical zoom, like 10x The new iPhone pro has a fairly decent 3x (71mm equivalent)
- formerly_proven 5y ago> The new iPhone pro has a fairly decent 3x (71mm equivalent) For birds (depends on the kind of bird) you're looking at the 300-800 mm supertele range.
- mkr-hn 5y agoThe 450mm equivalent of the long end of my 70-300 is just barely enough if the bird is nearby. 71mm is wider than the wide end (35mm equivalent) and far too wide for anything that'll run/fly away if I get close enough.
- Tagbert 5y agoMoment offers a range of add-on lenses for iPhones. They have a 2x lens that can be mounted on the iPhone’s 2x for a total 4x. Not sure if that gets into the range you are looking for. Moment has a pretty good reputation for quality. There might be some other longer lenses out there by other manufacturers.
