They say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the case of this lens, it’s certainly true… So for this review I’ll cover the basics, then I’ll show you exactly how impressive this lens is.

​

This Aukey wide angle lens gives you an extended view of 238°, which is pretty impressive. It comes with a plastic clip that slots behind a groove in the lens and simply clips over the top of your mobile phone. It’s as simple as that, no settings to mess about with at all, if you want to extend you viewing angle, you just clip the lens on and hey presto you have a wide angle lens on your camera phone. If you are using it on something close up, it can give a very slight fish-eye effect; but I doubt if this will be an issue the majority of the time, as the main premise for a wide angle lens is to extend your view for scenic distance shots.

You can see from the attached photos how well it works… Both before and after photos were taken from exactly the same position; the photo in the garden was done on a 3x zoom with and without the wide angle lens and the one in the road wasn’t taken using any zoom.

​

The lens comes in a nice presentation box, so would make a lovely present. It also comes with a lens cap to protect the lens when it’s not in use, a little drawstring bag to keep it in and even a small lens cloth. This lens works really well and I’d happily recommend it, especially as it also comes with Aukey’s 2 year warranty.
