No matter what phone you pick, if it is decent enough, it would come with a decent camera too. That\u2019s good enough for most of us, except for the ones who are really passionate about photography and want their smartphone pictures to be comparable to that of DSLRs and SLRs in the market.<\/p>\n

Well, let\u2019s face the truth, no matter how good our smartphone\u2019s camera is, it won\u2019t be as good as even the mid-range SLR camera. This is particularly the case when it comes to features such as Optical Zoom. To make your phone as good as the cameras out there, you would need a very bulky smartphone, which is exact opposite of what everybody wants.However, in case you are specific about what you want, your phone can match the DSLRs in at least a few aspects. For that, you need to look for the best camera lenses for your smartphone.<\/p>\n

Are external lenses for smartphones worth it?<\/h2>\n

Whether or not you need an external lens for your smartphone depends upon what you want your smartphone\u2019s camera to do. If you want your phone\u2019s camera to compete all around with the normal cameras out there, then you would need to buy too many lenses, which would be unfeasible. On the other hand, if you know something in particular and know exactly what you need, an external lens might be precisely the thing that you are looking for. Depending upon your need you can opt for any of the following lenses:<\/p>\n

Types of mobile lenses<\/h2>\n

1. Telephoto<\/h2>\n

\"Telephoto\"<\/a>This is the most popular of all the external lenses<\/strong><\/em> for phones. Smartphones rarely come with an optical zoom that\u2019s good enough. So, rather than buying an expensive smartphone that supports optical zoom, buy an economical one and spend money on a telephoto lens instead.<\/p>\n

2. Wide-angle<\/h2>\n

Like the name suggests, this lens would help you in taking wide angle shots. Though you would find option wide-angle shots in your phone too, but they aren\u2019t that effective. This lens would help you in taking picture of your city\u2019s skyline just the way you want to.<\/p>\n

3. Macro<\/h2>\n

\"Macro\"<\/a>Just like wide-angle, almost all the phones have a macro option too, but the devil is in the details. It would certainly give you a better texture and quality than you can ever expect from your phone\u2019s macro mode.<\/p>\n

4. Fisheye<\/h2>\n

An ideal fisheye lens is supposed to help you take a complete 180-degree shot, but whether the lenses really take a 180-degree shot or not is a matter of debate. You can simply say that Fisheye lenses help you in taking beautiful panoramic shots.<\/p>\n

5. Monochrome<\/h2>\n

\"Monochrome\"<\/a>Monochrome photography isn\u2019t as popular as it used to be long ago. Part of this is because of the fact that nowadays you can simply take a colored photograph and then apply monochrome filter to it. Nevertheless, monochrome cameras<\/a> are still there in the market. So, you can say that even now there are people who are enthusiastic about it. If you are one of them, a monochrome external lens won\u2019t disappoint you.<\/p>\n

You would find more than many lenses of all the four types in the market, but there are some that stand above the rest because of their sheer quality or because they offer something that the others don\u2019t. Let\u2019s take a look at some of those phone lens options that satisfy either one or both of these criteria.<\/p>\n
