Soothing Shrimp Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have an LG L90. Any suggestions for a nice macro lens to attach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 There's a 3 in 1 clip lens I see all the time. Never tested but better then some of the other ones that require you to glue the lens to the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 have a link? My phone is a bit bigger now since I ordered the largest battery I could find for it. It actually has a special case I have to use because the regular back doesn't fit with the new battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 All of my shrimp pictures are taken with iPhone 5S and Ollo clip. Absolutely recommend these macro lenses. Not sure if they make one for LG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 There are 2 styles for the clip. I think the one without a spring has the potential to stretch more, accomodating cases. I read a LOT of reviews, and really could not find any that were helpful to determine if they fit over big cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I bought this one Oldshark 3 in 1 Clip-On 180 Degree Supreme Fisheye + 0.65X Wide Angle+ 10X Macro Lens For iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, iPhone 5 5S 4 4S Samsung HTC Blackberry Silver on Amazon for my LG phone and have really enjoyed it. Now keep in mind that I suck at photography, but all the pics I post are either my phone or phone with that macro lens. I've been pleased for less than $8.00 and I can put it on my phone, Gill's phone, my tablet, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcamire04 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 In my case, I've got the one using the ring you "glue" on your phone. It works great for me. Now, I'm using it with my galaxy S4. Before, I had a HTC ONE S and worked great too. To use the lens, you need to put a self adhesive ring to your phone. It's really easy to remove it and won't leave any trace on the phone. Second option, some phone lens (rare) are already magnetic and don't need the ring. Took this molt with my HTC and this macro lens In fact, it's the cheapest I've found on ebay. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Wide-Angle-Macro-Lens-For-Apple-iPhone-4-4S-5G-3G-3GS-HTC-Samsung-Phone-I9300-/321101089975?var=&hash=item4ac31dccb7 It also works on my galaxy TAB S without any ring. In this case, the lens is magnetic but it barely holds the lens. I need to be careful using it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35ppt Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I just got a lens with that 'other' style clip I was talking about. It bends over the top of phone instead of being like a clip you squeeze with your fingers. It does fit over my bulky LG case, but it is tight and not terribly easy to do. Plus the macro only focuses if the shrimp are right at the glass. Plus the fish eye lens won't focus at all with my phone, but seems to work on an iPhone . Maybe using a different camera app would help, and also help with the overexposure the LG tends to do? Haven't had time to mess with it much.

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah. That's my dilemma with the tight fit. My phone depth is almost an 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
