Best for Mobile Phones
This is a nifty handheld filter that I wanted to give a try to add a unique artistic effect to my photos. I've been shooting professionally for a number of years, and I've often found that odd items like this can add a touch to a photograph that no amount of post-processing could imagine.
I found it incredibly hard to use this while shooting with a DSLR. If you're on a tripod, I could see it - and it'll give you a shadowed effect like those 70s and 80s portraits with a double image. The trouble for me is I rarely shoot on a tripod, and one handing a D800 for hours isn't really in my list of want to dos. So I tried it with my phone, and I truly got much better results.
With a mobile phone, you can maneuver this into angles that are nearly impossible with a larger lens (the edge of the filter tends to wander into frame). The ability to move it farther and closer to the lens gives you a wide range of different visual effects, and since they're on your phone, you can immediately see a large preview (I only shoot through viewfinder, so this isn't a fit for my process). For people making online content or working primarily from a mobile device, this filter is a really cool way to add a unique visual touch to your work pre-process - an old school trick photographers like me have been using for years to help their work stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Best Features
- High quality glass prism
- Comfortable ring to hold and maneuver
- Includes microfiber cleaning cloths
