This LS-59 is the most badass iPhone lens I’ve reviewed—massive, metal, and it actually delivers that 85mm-style compression that makes portraits look legit. The sharpness holds up really well, and using it on the main iPhone camera gives you way better results than relying on the built-in 3x tele camera.

Pros

+Excellent portrait compression and flattering look
+Sharpness matches the main iPhone camera well
+Uses the main sensor instead of the weaker tele camera
+72mm front filter thread for creative filters
+Solid metal build with hood and proper lens cap

Cons

-Very large and heavy for a phone setup
-You basically lose stabilization, so handheld video gets shaky
-Can show/magnify lens flare in harsh sunlight
-Mounting requires a 17mm threaded backplate/cage setup (not a simple universal clip)
