Time to Ditch Your Macro Camera? | The Ultimate Macro Lens for iPhone Photography!

[@jonkers2007]

Thank you Stewart! I bought this on kickstarter and just received it, so finding your video has been a great help for top tips.

[@daravivannarakvijaiya1629]

How much

[@Jumpingspiderlife]

Stunning photos, I’ll have to look into getting one of these

[@marklaurendet1861]

Looks interesting For the focus stack did you have to move the phone camera or is there some software to do the stack like some cameras these days

[@StewartWoodArt]

I did both for testing, the 25 image stack was using canerapixels app.

[@1337plans]

Great video man!

[@StewartWoodArt]

Glad you liked it!

[@sampodhorsky178]

Your photos are absolutely stunning! One is simply amazed

[@StewartWoodArt]

Thank you.

[@OvertakeGT]

Hi Stewart, what camera app you are using in this video?

[@StewartWoodArt]

I used the Reeflex camera app, for focus bracketing I used camerapixels.

[@A-view-from-above]

When will this be released

[@cheisfree]

Regarding that this setup is today limited to 12 Mpx, which lens is sharper for the same magnification ? The 240mm+macro300mm+macro200mm or the long range macro screwed on the 48 Mpx sensor (and crop in post) ? My goal is to do iris photography, so the working distance is ok for both solution. I currently use a sony A1 with laowa 100mm 2X, but it is really tricky to be on focus due to the ridiculous DOF, so I wanna test it with my recent acquisition, the iphone 16 pro. I purchased on kickstarter the reeflex 240mm with their macro lenses and I am now waiting for the delivery, but I hesitate to take the long range macro to keep the 48 Mpx.

[@Pentagram666mar]

Lol i just yesterday had a thought- damn, macro is not for full frame, depth of focus is so shallow, what if instead use 2/3 inch sensor, started searching for some lens for smartphone

[@markattardo]

Wow, impressed with your results! Since I upgraded to the 15 pro max I find I incorporate it's 24mm main camera into my photography fairly often. The Reflex lenses look like a solid upgrade if they fit your needs.

[@sathishpillay7178]

Hi Stewart, great video and I have the full range of Reeflex Lenses when I don't feel like carrying my OM1 system. I have just backed the project but how did you do the focus stacking? Can you share if you used a app and if yes which app. Thanks

[@StewartWoodArt]

Take a look at the camerapixels app, it has focus bracketing built in.

[@_borger]

In a comment above, he said that he used the camerapixels app. It only does bracketing though, so you still have to merge the images on your computer with some focus stacking software.

[@LTChurchillphotography]

Nice bit of kit great for out and about when you don't have your main camera

[@shakysugars]

Ordered mine tonight, been waiting for something worthy to hit the market to scratch that Macro photography itch.

[@NATUROSAURUS]

Where we can buy this?

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

It’s a kickstarter proj. 😂

[@abian_ng]

Would this lens work on the Xiaomi 14's 3.2x telephone lens?

[@mrwates]

Brilliant :)

[@StewartWoodArt]

Thanks

[@zedpassway4140]

Great idea if the only thing you print to is 4 x 5 inch online Facebook. Printing to 13 x 19 inches, and requiring it to be sharp at 3 inchs across the whole paper is not possible.

[@scottlee4664]

Looks nice but 299 plus case for it. Kind pricey for phone attachment

[@ColouristUnderground]

This is like the 5th video I'm watching about this new lens 😂 addiction 😅. Now I'm finding someone who used it on the Samsung 24/23 Ultra.

[@StewartWoodArt]

Would be interesting.

[@ColouristUnderground]

@@StewartWoodArt It would definitely be interesting to see and trust me a whole of people want to see how well it works 23 and 24 Ultra.

[@dennismwallentin296]

Meh, I prefer my Oly/Pan set up. But it is good to have options available. After all, we all get older and who knows the conditions we face than 🙂

[@StewartWoodArt]

Same here, it’s great for fun and to challenge myself.

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

This seems like an ad 🤨

[@diaryofcreation582]

I think, where this will really shine is macro Video : ) 4k120p with that working distance would be a dream.

[@StewartWoodArt]

Oh yes indeed.

[@carlosandreviana9448]

So, paying twice of what someone can pay for an aps-c camera and a macro lens or a normal lens with a Raynox adapter? This obsession for phones should be subject of a study

[@StewartWoodArt]

Im not sure you understand the potential and convenience of smart phone photography.

[@davisone76]

I felt the same way several years ago. Then I accepted a job where I go overseas and now I can take 4 iPhones from co workers and have a 4 camera shoot and it films directly to my iPad shooting LOG. I have the full G Series kit and now I have a full set up and I don’t have to lug around 4 Canon C 70 cameras with full Gimbal set up, Ninjas for each one, plus a directors monitor costing $1,000 extra per flight ✈️ and way less baggage. I am not filming a full length movie but I am getting some very nice shots still telling the story and not having to worry about a huge rig set up. I can go on and on how much easier my life is. I also go hiking and camping and I love to film the journey and this set up is stellar!! Like I said, I felt the same way but now I have a different outlook and can’t wait for it to become even easier to tell a story!

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

You’re trying to include your negative views of social media obsession with mobile phone tech. Tell us you’re a boomer without telling us

[@MennoNeher]

Without taking the useless trouble to watch the video: choose any other phone than apple. Because they are better AND more affordable.

[@jaydraws2019]

Too expensive. I’d rather invest in real camera.

[@-OEG]

Thats a very smart move. But for people who doesnt have time or interest to really learn the camera, the phones are great. This lens setup with iphone would be great for my grandma so she could capture flowers in the guarden.

[@123fourfivesix-g4i]

Real camera + lens + cost of your phone you already paid/paying for

[@therehocipe]

Smartphone Photography 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂

[@bethanyreedgaspar]

Wow😍

[@StewartWoodArt]

Thanks.
