NEEWER 45X Phone Microscope Only for 17mm Thread Backplate, Rechargeable Close Up Zoom Lens w 50mAh Battery, LED Light, Type C Cable Compatible with iPhone Samsung Cage with 17mm Lens Adapter, LS-32

All original

First impressions Attaches easily to the lower lens of the IPhone 12 Pro Max’ three lens setup. Needs an iPhone case with a 17mm mount to hold it in place. Comes with a nice zippered storage case, lens cloth, and USB charging cable. Since it is fixed focus, you need to get right on top of whatever you are photographing and the iPhone lens zoom setting that it works with has an effective range of 1x to 2.4x. Going beyond 2.4 or less than 1x triggers the use of the iPhone’s other lenses and does not work with the Neweer lens’ position over lens number two. It should work fairly well on micro mineral specimens that have been trimmed down to a relatively flat surface area—it will not focus down into vugs however and the interaction between it and the iPhones focusing lag takes some getting used to. The built in light ring has two illuminating settings and works well. It was on sale over the holidays for under $35. A bargain for exploring the often unseen feature of your micro minerals! especially if you cannot yet afford a digital or binocular/trinocular microscope

Very good quality lens in terms of built and optically. Need a case with 17mm thread in order to hold the lens.

I’m not a pro photographer but I love these Neewer lenses. Great value for money and pictures seem good
