WOAH, im also a middle school teacher, I also lost my mother 5 months ago and I took care of her. Im also using these same lenses to teach my kids about iPhone filmaking. You sir touched me with your story. Im also watching this on mothers day so sir I feel your pain this is our first mothers day without our amazing mothers.
This brought me so much emotion to read on Mother’s Day. Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for teaching the kids! I hope that you keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll be thinking of you next Mother’s Day❤️❤️
Ii instantly recognized Williamsburg. I live out in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. I upgraded an old Samsung I had to the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I also still use my iPhone 13 mini for my personal phone and it is always in my pocket. I did buy the Moment cases for both. I have the same 4 lenses in both T series and M series. I use the M series on the mini. Both lenses give great results on both iPhones and you never know which one took what shot. The real issue I have is the filter mounts for the T mount. The M series has a nice ones but so far the T series is lagging behind. Sometimes I just like to have the VND for dealing with bright sunlight, Keep up your videos exploring these lenses. I love them. Oh one other annoying issue with the cases. You have to use short USB C cables to connect to my MagSafe SSD because of the thickness of the case.
Chris - thanks for the kind words and for sharing. I love Shenandoah - my mom grew up right on the river near Berryville so I've spent a lot of time there. Honestly one of the next few videos about the T-Series Wide Lens will be from up there because the landscapes are one of a kind. I've noticed that the Moment cases do make attaching chords a bummer - I had serious issues with microphones while shooting my documentary in Europe this summer. I do expect all of this gear to continue to improve rapidly though just because mobile filmmaking is on the rise!!
Interesting question. I don't notice a difference in light between no lens and a T-Series lens so you should be good. It may be worth checking out the T-Series Fisheye for party videos - just seems like it may be the vibe. I don't have the T-Series Fisheye, but it's similar to the M-Series one.

Good question. Honestly, I’m not sure because I haven’t used the phone. You will need to use the Moment Lens Adapter to attach the lens to the phone though. I made a video if you want to check it out.
I think you're gonna want the 18mm or the 14mm depending on the look you're going for. I don't have the 14mm T-Series yet, but the M-Series is the same field of view and I really enjoy it but it has a distinct look. I made a video about it (a long time ago) that I'll link below. I hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6TJN6NB28R4.html
I have all the M series lenses, but sadly just looking nice in the drawer. T lenses are they sure, that phone lenses won’t grow in size, okay I got it, we just make a new once.
