NEEWER Telephoto Lens HD 85mm Phone Only Back Plate 17mm, 2.5X Magnification Compatible with SmallRig NEEWER Cage for iPhone Samsung with 17mm Adapter & Lens Cap, LS-59

This converter is a standout accessory if your smartphone already has a 5× telephoto lens. It doubles the optical zoom reach (turning a 5× into a 10× equivalent) so you can capture distant subjects without relying on digital zoom. The optical build is strong, using 7 elements in 5 groups of multicoated glass, which helps reduce reflections and maximize clarity. The 17 mm threaded mount and compact design make it straightforward to attach to phone cages or clip systems. In use, the image quality remains excellent when attached properly and aligned correctly. The physical build feels solid and well‑finished, making it suitable for content creators who want more telephoto reach without carrying large camera gear. You’ll want to ensure your phone’s telephoto lens is engaged (and not a wide‑angle or main lens) for best results, but once set up this converter adds impressive zoom power with minimal hassle. Highly recommended for serious mobile photography.

It's a really cool piece of kit giving one both more reach and macro capacity. Got it primarily for landscapes [punch in shots on wide angle] and animal photo/videography. No noticeable visual distortions with the unit I've got. It does soften the image slightly as to be expected. It's 40.5 mm on the outer diameter, if you are planning on adding filters to it. Points amazon wants me to hit: It's easy to transport and to install, very pocketable. For the money it's a great buy giving you both a mid range zoom and a macro functionality. I'm pretty happy with it. Very functional.

Excellent quality and great value for money. The telephoto lens delivers impressive image clarity and feels truly premium in hand, with solid build quality and a high-end finish. The 200mm and 300mm macro lenses are also excellent, producing sharp and detailed macro shots. Overall, a well-made, versatile lens kit that offers outstanding performance for the price—very satisfied with the purchase.

Just received this lens and don't know how to feel about it. I can't use it because I don't have the phone mount (I thought was in the order) you have to have that in order to mount it to the phone. I can see a vignetting around the corners a little bit. I bought this for my Galaxy S25 ultra for filming as a back up camera for weddings. I'm giving a 3 star for two reason. The vignetting around the edges when I hold the lens up to my phone camera. 2. The phone mount was supposed to be in the package.

I'd give the build and optical quality a 5, but usage is not good for my Samsung S22 ultra. It's a metal housing with heavy large glass. While more 17mm threads are becoming more available for newer phones, there wasn't a good case with native 17mm threads to put this on my S22U. I had a clamp on adapter that just didn't sit easily with the phone. The worst part is that portrait mode would never activate and kept giving the "please move farther away". I guess the zoomed in 85mm look was messing up the focus and post processing. I returned it because it just didn't play nice with the Samsung.

It’s huge! Using it on a smart phone, the setup is unbalanced, uncomfortable. The picture is side by side comparison of Neewer HD 65mm with a similar portrait lens by another brand. Neewer trippled in size(volume) at least. And the weight, Neewer 65 weights 220 gram with hood. The other one only 110 gram. Neewer HD 65 has a 58mm filter size, which is a normal (or larger) size for traditional SLR lens 45mm/f1.x to 60mm/f1.x. I have to say Neewer is making quick money by “copying” SLR or 3/4 frame lens designs to its smartphone lenses. Knowing that, the sensor size of a smartphone is less than 10% of a full frame SLR. Using a smartphone lenses is like using the very center of those groups of glasses of a camera lens. Any crappy cameras lens ever in the market before would produce almost perfect quality image from its center portion (10%). It seems like Neewer doesn't want to or unable to make new designed lens for smartphones.

I was heavily impressed with the quality of this lens, it worked perfectly the a compatible phone cage and . Images quality along with my samasung g25 ultra complemented it as intended. Im quite pleased

Very clear optics, well made, more than I hoped for.
