Moment Tele Lens
The included mounting plate easily attaches using a clean adhesive rather than a magnet, which can sometimes interfere with optical image stabilization. It also supports 25 different iOS and Android devices. Moment is now shipping plates for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, too.
This lens system occupies an excellent intersection of capability, quality, cost, and enhancement. It seems slightly overpriced to competitors that have only slightly lesser lenses: the Ztylus Z-Prime system is $150 for a case plus two lenses (wide angle and telephoto), where you’d spend $250 for two Moment lenses and a case. But it may be worth it.
What's more, the attachment system avoids the need for a special phone case, which gives it a distinct advantage over many other lenses on the market. A nice microfiber lens bag is included that doubles up as a cleaning cloth.
Moment has four lenses:
- 18mm-equivalent wide angle lens ($90)
- 60mm tele lens ($90)
- 10x macro lens ($80) with a diffuser hood
The wide-angle fares slightly worse, with diffusion appearing as much as 10 percent inward from the edge of a rectangular landscape—but only on one side of a rectangular framed shot.
- 15mm Superfish lens ($90)
The free Moment app, which doesn’t require the case or Moment lenses, includes a variety of camera-control features and shooting options found across other iPhone camera apps. It shines when paired with the case, enabling the shutter button but also giving easy access to camera settings with a thumb-reachable toolbar. You can have your hands holding the iPhone for a shot and your finger on the shutter release, and still manipulate settings without removing a hand.
