Last month Apexel has discontinued the production of the old 20x macro lens. Those who are having that old 20x lens might know its powerful macro shots and the top-notch quality macro lens ever exists in the phone lens market. The old model is now replaced by the new one that comes with an additional star filter. Let's take a look at this product and at the end, we will see the capability of this lens?

It also comes with a EVA bag, it can protect your lens from damage and you can attach it to your neck with the lanyard, so that you can carry it anytime anywhere you want.
you'll need to get super close to get the best details when using the 20x macro lens, about 10-20mm from the object( less than an inch )

Review:
- The macro lens does its job perfectly without any distortion or chromatic aberration.
- Quality lens glass used to get no distortion at the edges unlike the cheaper 3 in 1 macro lens.
- The lens clip has a very good grip on the slippery phone like Mi5.
- The star filter gives a beautiful star effect to the shiny light source, which is amazingly beautiful and makes your photographs look unique.
- You can any time remove the star filter while doing only macro photography. Also, you can use the star filter alone without the macro lens by manually holding it with your hand or you can use it with the 2 in 1 16mm Wide + 10x Macro Lens set (Review coming soon).
