AUKEY Optic Lens kit

Enhancing your smartphone pictures/videos is quite easy all you have to do is get a clip on lens or lens kit and you are all set. There are many to choose from, some may say too many but the AUKEY Optic Lens kit just might be what you are looking for. Inside the box you get a cleaning cloth to wipe away dust or finger prints on the lens itself or even your phone lens, a cloth carry pouch, two clips to hold the lenses and the lenses themselves. Each lens is snuggled in its own silicone rubber case, this is to protect it from dust and if you happen to drop the lens. One lens is a 160° Fisheye Lens and the other is a 20X Macro Lens. With the Fisheye lens you do get a 160° field of view, but you also get the barrel effect as well(see video) this is a nice effect and does add some creativity to your shots and video, the 20X Macro lens lets you get in real close to the subject and magnifies it 20X, this too can offer a creative view and will help you explore your creativity.
Each lens is made from aluminum alloy, has multi elements(more than one piece of glass) and the glass is coated to minimize glare, lens flare and ghosting. AUKEY also has you covered with a 24 month worry free warranty how cool is that?!? Using the Macro lens is really fun, you get in real close to get your shot and in doing so it does make you think of the shot, lighting, angles etc., the success of your shot using a Macro lens depends on a few things, the first is your phones camera or other device you use. Every camera is different, focus distance, tap to focus(some cameras do not support that) and the sensor, for example in the video I used a Lumia 640, I was able to touch the subject, the plant at the end of the video, and have the lens at an angle, the other shots in the video was 1/2 inch away, any farther and it gets blurry, now with my iPod Touch 5 I could not touch the plant, it was blurry and the focus distance was 3/4 inch to 1 inch away from the subject.
So depending on what smartphone you have your results will differ from mine. One other thing I would like to point out is while using a macro lens it is best to use a mini tripod of some sort, you will get a better shot and since everyone's hands shake the Macro lens will show that shake. Another piece of advice I will offer is this, make sure you clean the lens on your smartphone before attaching any lens to it and please do not blow on it either, you may not see it with your eyes but tiny drops of moisture just might get onto your lens and ruin your shot. The AUKEY Optic Lens kit does offer two distinctive views for you to show your creativity and let you have some fun exploring that creativity. This lens kit will also let you see how you can use your smartphone camera as well, so if you are wanting to know your inner artist then this lens kit is worth having.
