I wanted a lens kit for my Note 5 for when we go out in the yard or take the grandkids around. The Note 5 has one of the best cameras of its day. The Xenvo Lens Kit enhanced the photos, very nicely. I am amazed at the level of improve or enhancement it gives my shots. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for the same results. I do have to take my case off, which is an Otterbox Symmetry, to get the best shot. I can take decent shots with the wide angle lens but not the macro lens. The macro lens will not focus with the case on. However, without the case on, I can zoom in so close to see my fingerprint fill up my screen! It's crazy close!

I used an Apexel 12-24X macro lens for a few months but the 24 was unusable and the 12 required you to be so close that only a small portion was in focus. This lens lets you get very close, but still include enough in the picture to identify more than just surrounding textures. Ease of use is outstanding. Love the short video they have you watch before use. I have't tried the wide angle as I have the new iPhone wide angle version, I just wanted the macro. It includes a lanyard and a clip on light which are nice additions. I paid almost 3 times as much for this lens, but am so happy I bought it because the pictures are worth it (especially flowers!).

I am enjoying my new lenses so much! I was looking for clear, close macro photos and this lens works great.

I posted 5 photos:1. regular iPhone 8 Plus - no lens2. wide angle lens3. macro - when far from objects4. macro - when close to object5. what it looks likeThe lens screws right onto the clip. Pretty simple.I saw some previous reviews where people had a hard time focusing the macro. This is a non-issue if you get close to the object. Gives a nice tight focus.The quality seems pretty good. I have yet to take it out and use it in the wild, hah. So I may need to update my review later.The one thing I don’t love is the clip because I’m not sure how well it will hold if I put my phone on a gimbal or move around too much. I DID however realize there is a protective plastic layer your can rip off. It comes with the packaging, but is transparent so not super visible. Make sure to take it off! The grip is much better without it.It comes in a nice box! Plus a pretty bright light, I’m assuming for selfies... and a lanyard.For this price, I think it is worth it! Although, I’m curious to try the Moment lens/case. It seems a little pricey... I would rather invest that money in a lens for my mirrorless.

I try to look for stuff that can do double duty. That allows my money to stretch further. This is one lens that can do two or even three things.First, it’s a macro lens. It creates nice close-up, sharp photos. I don’t do much macro other than as a novelty. Being up close in macro mode, the auto focus seems to hunt around a little bit. But I suspect as a macro photographer, you should be in manual focus mode? That seems to be the pattern in all types of photography where the highest detail is sought.Second, it’s a landscape lens. At 105mm it is a stretch but in a pinch, it can be made to work. I like that it’s super sharp and relatively fast so it brings up details nicely. You just have to move back a little bit.Third, it can work as a portrait lens…in a pinch. Again, it’s sharpness helps although, you may have to soften things a bit to balance out facial imperfections. And again, you’ll need to move back a bit.After messing around with this lens, I think it’s a very cost effective purchase and can compliment your other lenses if you are a minimalist (or poor like me).Lastly, I was concerned about the autofocus speed. While researching this lens I read a lot of articles where they mentioned slow autofocus speed. I believe that was written about earlier models because AF is fast and accurate. I think this focuses even faster (in non macro mode) than the z 20mm 1.8.Oh yeah, it looks heavy but it’s very light.All in, this is a great lens and something to consider if you’re on a really tight budget.This lens rounds out my lens collection of 20mm, 50mm and now this, my newly acquired 105mm.

Great lens. With macro lens, image is gets unbelievably close up and is crystal clear.

I have tried two different macro lens and this is the best by far

I am a lash artist and the macro lens is perfect for up close to the definition in the lashes
