The AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens

Having a good camera on your smartphone is fantastic, no longer do you have to lug around another camera, but there are limitations to what a smartphone camera can do. Usually the field of view is not that wide so you stand further back to get what you want in the shot but at the same time whatever you are shooting is smaller. Well the AUKEY Super Wide Angle Cell Phone Lens gets what you want and more into that shot. The lens is a 238 degree field of view lens, basically a fisheye lens, you will notice the barrel affect especially around the edges. What makes this lens great is the fact that you do not get the black barrel affect instead you will get a full frame picture with slight blurring around the edges.
The AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens is made of a high grade aluminum which feels rock solid and premium made. The glass is crystal clear and has six elements giving you great detail. On the back of the lens where it attaches to your phone there is a nice soft but durable rubber to prevent scratching of your phones lens. The clip is made from a nice flexible plastic with a rubber tip so it will not scratch the screen of your phone. The lens slips right into the clip with ease and is held in place pretty securely. Just do not push too hard or you might break the clip. The clips depth is 1 1/4 inches so it should fit most, if not all, phones.
The lens is big, 1 1/2 inches wide and one inch deep, so you just might need two hands to hold your phone. You also get a cleaning cloth for the lens and a nice soft carry pouch which is nice because some companies do not include those. Taking pictures with this lens will make you take your time and think about the shot, not to mention you have to get used to the 238 degree angle, when first using the lens you most likely see your fingers at the edge of the shot, so before you really use it on your shoot take some practice pictures to get the feel of the lens and how it will feel on the phone. I am impressed on how well this lens performed and how clear and sharp the images are.
None of my devices had any trouble focusing with this lens attached, nor did it slip, slide or fall off of any of the devices. Aukey's attention to detail on this lens is superb, there are no rough edges, no un even angles, just a nice clean professional lens. I have tried other lenses like this in the past and the AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens blows them all away, incredible sharp images, fantastic point of view and premium components. If you like the extreme fisheye view to capture your surroundings you cannot go wrong with this lens, it is definitely worth the money!
