One of the best features of the Apple iPhone has always been its camera, a fact that Apple has recently heavily exploited with in its advertising. While the camera itself doesn’t break any records when it comes to the number of megapixels, it has consistently captured beautiful and accurate photos. This is mainly due to the high quality lens, hi-tech optics and highly optimized software that Apple uses. However, unlike an SLR camera with exchangeable lenses, you are basically stuck with what Apple gives you as far as lenses go. The Olloclip 4-in-1 is a clip on iPhone 6/6 plus/6s/6s plus camera accessory that greatly enhances the types of shots that you can make with your humble iPhone.
One of the most useful lenses in a photographer lenses arsenal is probably the wide-angle lens. It lets you capture a wider angle and it is perfect for sweeping panoramas and for that occasional group shot. Most cameras have a panoramic mode that lets you sweep the camera to take a wide-angled shot. It works but it is slow and sometimes the stitching is far from perfect. The Olloclip 4-in-1 allows you to take a wide-angled with just a single click. The wide-angle lens almost doubles the field-of-view of the iPhone camera.
If you want an even wider shot, flip the Olloclip around and you get a fish-eye lens. The fish-eye lens is similar to a wide-angle lens except that it is so wide, it gives an almost 180º view. The drawback is that the edges of the image are distorted but if you want to capture a very wide street or a very tall building, the fish-eye lens is your best friend.
The other 2 lenses in the Olloclip can be accessed by removing the wide-angle and fish-eye lenses. This gives you access to the 10X and 15X macro lenses. The 10X macro shot lens lets you take highly detailed macro shots at high magnification. It is like a digital microscope.
The 15X macro lens gives even higher magnification and it has shallow depth of field. A shallow depth of field produces images with the subject sharply focused but makes the background blurry thus enhancing your subject. All lenses work on both the back and front cameras.
What makes the Olloclip 4-in-1 a great companion to your iPhone is that it is quick and easy to clip on to the phone or to switch between the lenses. Last but not least, when not in use, you can store it in the included holder pendant.
