💬 Personal Project Time! 📸

👉 I've always loved the idea of being able to use the best camera on a smartphone and further push its capabilities by attaching high quality lenses onto it. 

Thus this project came to life!
I've tried variety of lenses from different brands such as @moment , @zeisscameralenses, @apexel.lens and I ran into a few complications on the way. 

🟡 Zeiss EXOLens were very sharp, but the vignetting on the Wide Angle lens required me to crop 1.2x to remove the dark corners. The 56mm Portrait lens worked amazingly well with exceptional image quality. 

🟡 Apexel Lens were hit or miss. 2x Telephoto had very minor vignette and the Macro Lens worked wonders. However, the 16mm ultra wide was not usable.

🟢 However, long story short - @Moment lenses worked the best with the S22 Ultra. No vignetting and a great balance in terms of image quality and weight. May not be as sharp as the Zeiss EXOLens, but still performed really well.

So I ended up 3D Printing the M Mount, used a dremel to widen the hole on @Samsungau Hard Case and viola, it worked!

On a side note, I truly hope @moment reconsider and continue supporting Samsung phones. 
They camera technology is pretty insane and would compliment really well with some good quality lenses.

I cannot wait to show case some of the images I've taken with this setup!

Wow! That is an awesome project.

I wanted to get some moment lenses too, but having used other brands I got scared off from not having something specifically made for the phone

Hey hey,

Honestly I was on the same boat a couple of weeks ago, but I randomly got the determination to find a solution.

I tried so many brands and was glad Moment lenses still worked with Samsung. I knew their V2 lenses worked with the S21 Ultra since they supported it, so I had a hunch it would work because of similar camera systems.

I was kind of sad about Zeiss EXOLens not being compatible due to vignetting. Their lenses are so sharp and super cheap on eBay.
I bought my Zeiss EXO set for $85 AUD.

Apexel Lens were a mixed bag and their support team was kinda terrible. They kept on implying I didn't know how to mount the lens properly when using their clip on lens mount while I was trying 😅

But yeah, I'll post some results soon - the images honestly turned out really well! 😃

Good on you for finding a solution! Gotta say having the super tele built in has been awesome in Greenland so far
