Our 5 Mobile Lenses

Which Is Right For You?

Each lens in our T-Series mobile lens lineup unlocks a new chapter of your storytelling adventure with your phone. Discover different angles, unique perspectives, and remarkably cinematic shots that ditch the need for digital zoom. We're talking pure, unfiltered visual magic with real glass. No A.I here.

Anamorphic 1.33x & 1.55x - Our Anamorphic 1.33x & 1.55x lenses pack a cinematic punch right in your pocket. Fancy rich flares, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, and natural filmic black bars. Opt for our Blue Flares to channel that vintage 1960s, JJ Abrams-esque vibe. Or, if you're feeling a little golden, our Gold Flares offer the warm aesthetic reminiscent of a classic Pre-36 anamorphic lens.

Tele 58mm - Our Tele 58mm is a crowd favorite. This lens is a dual threat, moonlighting as a portrait and traditional zoom lens, bringing you up close and personal with your subjects. It gives you a 2x optical zoom of your standard camera or a 4x optical zoom over your telephoto. It also adds a highly natural bokeh with a dreamy touch in bright lighting.

Wide 18mm - Your trusty sidekick for capturing a wider scene. With this lens, you're in for a consistent wide-angle view minus the distortion that often crashes the party with a phone’s ultra-wide lens.

Fisheye 14mm - Our Fisheye 14mm lens offers the most comprehensive shot you can score on your phone. Wider than an ultra-wide and more budget-friendly than a GoPro, our 14mm gives you access to your phone's full image sensor. Say goodbye to dark corners or vignetting; our 14mm is super crisp edge-to-edge.

Macro 10x & 75mm - The champ of close-ups. With these lenses, you can immortalize life-sized images of the tiniest objects just an inch away. Capturing rich textures, materials, or tiny living creatures your phone couldn't spot has genuinely never been easier and offers much more detail than your phone’s built-in Macro Lens.

How Do T-Series Mobile Lenses Work?

Additional mobile creativity is made possible through our various innovative attachment styles. Below is a brief breakdown for the T-Series depending on your device:

Moment Cases - If we make a case for your phone, this is the preferred way to mount your lenses. It offers the most strength along with the most practicality. We try to offer drop-in lens mounts where we can.

• iPhone 13 and newer.
• Pixel 7 and newer.
• Galaxy S24 and newer.

Universal Mounts - if we don’t have a case for a stick-on mount for your phone, we offer our Universal Mount. It provides a multi-directional mounting solution to move your lens up, down, right or left… enabling you to align it directly over your phone’s camera lens.

Although not required, we recommend using the Moment Pro Camera App with our lenses to ensure the most seamless experience. Read more about how to use our app with our lenses here.

But we're not just about the lenses. Our improved accessories, such as filter mounts, now have a super-secure thread attachment. Wondering about compatibility? You’re in luck if you have the Moment Case or other accessories like lens caps and filters. Our new lenses are designed to be compatible. However, for using 67mm filters, you'd need our T-series 67mm filter adapter.

Finally, there’s good news for our loyal customers who own the M-series. We're continuing our support for the M-series lenses and making high-quality photography more accessible by reducing the M-series prices.

Our T-series lenses aren't just an upgrade but a game-changer for mobile photographers and creators everywhere.

If you're curious about the real-world difference, our gallery below is brimming with inspiring photo comparisons that showcase the remarkable distinction between phone captures and those using our lenses.

Why Choose Moment's T-series Mobile Lenses?

In the age of smartphone evolution, many ask, "Why do I need an additional lens when my phone already has three?" The answer is multifaceted, but at its core: creativity and quality.

With Moment's lenses, you can do more and get more from your device. Different focal lengths enhance your creative range, giving you unparalleled control over your imagery, and with real glass, not A.I. counterparts.

How does it stack up against your standalone camera? Let's break it down.

Primarily, our T-series lenses deliver adaptable to your device.

Our revamped interface is tougher and can handle more weight, making it ready for even more significant lens additions in the future. Plus, our lenses excel in low-light conditions for those tricky lighting situations, allowing for brighter captures and a more adjustable f-stop value.

T-Series vs. M-Series

We created the T-series because it is time.

We first launched the M-Series in early 2017, designed around the flagship iPhone 6 and its 8-megapixel iSight camera with a 29mm equivalent focal length. Things have changed quite a bit since then. Today’s iPhone 14 Pro has a 48mp sensor and 24mm focal length. That’s a 10% larger field of view and a 500% increase in resolution. M-series just can’t keep up.

Thus, everything about the T-Series is made for newer camera phones. By designing these around better and brighter technology, we achieved quality and compatibility across a more comprehensive array of camera phones that are certified future-proof.

Durable Interface - Our patented bayonet interface gives you the strength you need with the speed to attach/detach your lenses. Everyone else has tried copying our design or using an inferior threaded design.

More extensive Interface- We made our bayonet interface larger to support the growing diameter of lenses on camera phones. This means we increased the diameter, enabling more space and light to reach the sensor on your phone.

Increased Compatibility - Android phones have been leading the charge regarding new camera phones. T-Series brings us back to Android and supports the upcoming iPhone, ensuring your T-Series lenses will last years to come across more phones.

Direct Attach Mounting Ring - We’ve added a threaded front ring to attach accessories mechanically. This makes mounting filters super secure and allows us to offer different hood profiles in the future.
