Smartphone cameras have reached incredible heights, but there is still a physical limit to what a tiny internal sensor can do. This is where Sandmarc steps in. This time around, Lee is checking out the Sandmarc Wide Lens.
When faced with a sprawling Great Ocean Road sunset, perhaps the rather scenic New Zealand where Lee just spent a few weeks, or a tight interior shoot in a Bondi apartment, the default camera in your phone has limitations.
Switching to the 0.5x setting on our phone usually has a trade off with soft edges and sub-par low-light performance.
The Sandmarc Wide Lens is a 16mm glass powerhouse designed to sit over your phone’s primary sensor, giving you that expansive field of view without sacrificing the 48MP resolution or low-light capabilities of your best camera. Lee has been testing this lens in the field to see if the added bulk is worth the massive jump in image quality.
The Sandmarc Wide Lens is available from their website for US$159.99.
DRN would like to thank Sandmarc for their continued support.
