Moment 58mm Tele Review | Shot on iPhone 12 Pro 

The problem, one of them, with the Moment "tele" lens is camera shake. That's probably why Apple doesn't build one into their current iPhones and never has in the past (although they are working on a periscope technology for a longer reach to be offered on models in the future). I find the Moment lens is significantly softer and darker (less light) than both the native wide-angle and the "tele" lenses on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. But the real issue is that unless I mount the iPhone on a tripod, camera shake prevents a sharp image. YMMV, but I found I am actually better off digitally zooming the iPhone - or using my Nikon Z6 II for longer shots. There is a reason why cell phones have always featured wide, and very wide, angle lenses. The Moment 58mm makes that clear, no pun intended, to me.

I too tested the 58mm on a tripod: unacceptably soft throughout; very noticeable purple fringing

Hey David, dropped by via RU-vid algorithm! Pretty glad you did this video, I just got them 18mm lens for my iPhone12 and I must say I’m quite happy with it! Thinking of getting the 58mm now ! Good luck in your channel man!

Yea buddy.. it gave us some extra reach that we wont usually enjoy in our default iphone camera, but i cant say that the image is sharp from 58mm , still we can notice some zoomed in output but no dramatic rise in quality of image. I am sorry for being too open. It's just a subjective opinion ok. And thank you so much for a transparent review David. I really appreciate it.

Hello 👋🏾! Thank you for this video! Literally the video I was looking for!

Would have been nice to see the camera in the same position so you could see the zoom level with and without the lens in place.

I tried taking comparison shots using the 2.5x tele on my iPhone 12 Pro Max vs the Moment 58mm lens on the standard 1x wide camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the results were that the native 2.5x tele was more "zoomed in" than the 58mm/1x. Trying to use the 58mm lens on the 2.5x tele camera gave me a more zoomed-in shot but an out-of-focus image. I was testing this on a stationary object approximately 4ft away from the camera. Are these expected results or am I doing something wrong?

For me, softer and a little more blurry with the moment 58mm Lens. Are you agree ? Look at 5m15, the logo « fujifilm » is much Sharper with native télé photo Lens. I think moment 58mm isn’t as good as you say. Édit : same thing if you look the right corner on the orange bag at 5m18. Ok, you can have some bokeh, but i can have thé same and sharper images with Focos Free app I’m curious to see other test like in low light for example

Good stuff man, learned some new stuff. No idea external lenses were a thing for phones. Still though, A73>

Maybe the next iPhone have dedicated 10X lens or even 5X 👌

I have question I used to use this lens on iPhone 10 . Now with 12 promax ….moment lens is to be mounted on the top lens of phone or bottom lens . I tried mounting on top lens it gets blacked out half area … and when I mounted on bottom lens, product was coming in focus n out of focus … and I click my product pictures in sunlight .. eventually I had to remove the lens n click pictures without moment lens . Can u please tell what went wrong . As with iPhone 10 it used to work 100% fine ..

You got Only 3 images budy to compare not good bro and single one on human as a subject.

Awful lens. Horrible chromatic aberration. I'm so upset with myself for wasting my money on this. Stay away from these gimmicky lenses. Also, the portrait mode no longer works on your iPhone when you mount these lenses and you can only use one camera at a time when the lens is mounted. I should have done more research before buying. Moment will never see another dime from me.
