I’m a Realtor and use these lenses to enhance my new listing photo shots. Using these lenses help sell the features of your house.

I was skeptical about buying this at first but now glad I did. It’s really clever how you have a wide angle on the selfie and a telephoto on the main lense or vice versa. Good quality glass lenses make great pictures.

The ultra wide angle lens is fantastic for adding a little extra scenery to your pics/selfies, and the 2x does a great job of getting a bit closer of a shot without losing any resolution. Biggest complaints are that 1) if you have a glass screen protected, it will brake it eventually no matter how careful you are. I tried incredibly hard to avoid it after other reviews mentioned it, and after a few successful uses without breaking it...it broke. 2) changing out the lens for another is not a split second change of a dial, and takes a bit of time so it's really a pick which lens you think you're gonna need and go with it.

Purchased for my daughters iPhone 7 and this has enhanced her ability to take SLR type photos with her smartphone. The telephoto option was wonderful when taking photos from a bleacher for my granddaughters cheer competition. The pics came out clear and as if we were only 10 feet away from her. With the wide lens she was able to take fantastic photos of the entire team and was even asked to share her photos with the other parents online. That's how good they cane out!!! Although a little on the expensive side, it was worth the money. I highly recommend this for users with an iPhone 7.

I bought the core lens set first, but did not like the pictures the lenses produced, returned and got the active lens set. Easy to put on and interchange the 2 lenses. The telephoto is subtle, not a big difference but enough to improve any pic you use with it. The ultra wide is very noticeable in the pictures. This is something I'm learning as I practice using it. No scratch issues taking the lens on and off. I like this set, pricey, but I look foward to my next vacation and take more awesome pictures.

This lens collection is a fantastic addition to the iPhone 7 plus for anyone who enjoys shooting pictures. The three lenses, to include wide lens, macro, and a fish eye. These allow you to shoot a variety of images utilizing specific views dependent on each lens. They are easy to use, carry, and keep up. The only problems that I can find are the lack of a truly positive attachment when you snap on the lenses, which can sometimes cause an edge of the lens case to show up in your picture. Also, it would be back very to include the telephoto lens instead of the fish eye lens to this package.

This set of two clip on lenses for the iPhone 7/7 Plus is my second purchase of olloclip lenses, adding ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. I'm very pleased with the additional coverage and features to improve the already good camera features of the iPhone. Unfortunately they will not work with the iPhone 8 or iPhone X

I use mine to make what others believe are professional videos on my iPhone 7 Plus. The quality of the product is excellent! You do need to remove your case from your cell phone in most instances to use this version Ollo Clip. I did crack one clip by being too rough when I attempted to remove it. The folks at Ollo clip replaced it with no problem. The simplicity of having these two auxiliary lenses in my pocket, or clipped to my belt is just great.

What I Expected

I read the reviews and was warned about the two main issues: the clip will damage your glass protective shield if you leave your case on when using it, and the bigger problem being that the zoom lens doesn't even work!
Really, the zoom lens doesn't work at all! But it's only a 2x zoom anyway, which is the same as what the iPhone 7 plus has already. Nothing lost, except maybe the Premium they charged me for it.
So why did I pay $100+ for this thing? I'm a camera nut for one, but really because I'll be going on vacation to a place where I may not want to keep my bulky camera in my hand all the time; this will serve as a suitable alternative. The wide angle lens works well even though it's really just a fisheye. Either way, it's handy when I want to snap a cool landscape in a hurry.

i had troubles getting it to slip over my iPhone 7 where it created a minor crack on my Zagg screen saver. It works ok as a zoom but not as sharp.

I wanted to use this on my iPad Pro 7" as well as my iPhone 6.
I was happy to find that using the mounting supplied, I was able to make it work for the iPad as well. It doesn't snap into place like it does on the phone because the mounting is not made for the iPad, BUT IT WORKS!
So far I am happy with the quality and performance of the lenses.

Too Much for too little

$100+ for this product is too much. I’d give 4 star if the price was $20. The wide angle isn’t functional with any type of recording and you have to buy a specific case or risk using you iPhone ($700-1000) without a case.
The zoom lense is nice, but can be achieved with a 3x on the iPhone as is.
This product serves no real benefit.

Thought this was a great value for the price after researching and the associate at Best Buy added to my decision making. Disappointed in the fact that it cracked my Zagg Prviacy Shield after the “camera expert” at Best Buy assures me it wouldn’t. Guess it cost me $40 more than I thought I spent.
