I’m not certain what it is, but there is apparently quite a market for lenses for smartphone cameras. I guess too many of us are taking pictures with just our smartphones, and the lenses just aren’t that good. The Moment lens is made to “empower mobile picture takers with the best lenses in the world”.

This isn’t really a new idea. I’ve reviewed various lenses by Olloclip before, and I wish I had the Moment to check out. I’ll explain why I haven’t reviewed it later, but let me just start by telling you how it works. The Moment has a thin metal plate that can be put on the iPhone, iPad, or Galaxy series of phones. This is different from Olloclip, which is made for just iPhone.

The Moment is made to be portable and very easy to put on. It has a “simple bayonet design that rotates and stop the lens into place”. The glass and machined metal barrel is of industrial design and materials and come in Wide and Tele lenses.

As I mentioned before, the Moment lens is not available by now. This was a crowdfunded project that got its funding, and you can check out the store here. Hopefully, we will get one to review, but I’m not certain when that will be.
