Review:
Apexel is producing high quality lenses for mobile phones and this time the 10x 25mm macro lens is not an exception.
Pros:
- Quality Macro shots without any lens distortion at the boundary.
- Can capture from 1-1.5cm distance.
- Build of the lens is very very sturdy and feels professional.
- Body is covered by hard metal unlike cheap 3-in-1 lenses.
- Lens glass quality is very very good.
- It comes with a lanyard and a cup to store the lens and hang it on your neck while on the go.
- Lens also comes with a plastic cap which has 2 functions. It covers the lens glass and prevent any scratches and make the glass safe. Secondly, the focus distance of the lens is exactly same as the width of the cap so you don't have to measure the focus distance and can help you easy focus.
Cons:
- Sometimes, due to the lens cap a black border is coming in the captured photo. It is not true for all phones. Only for Mi 5 like phones having wide field-of-view. Better don't use the cap while capturing.
- I feel, they should provide a lens bag to store the lens rather than a lanyard and a lens cup.
