Pros & Cons
Pros
The macro lens uses software to perform focus stacking. It's my first and only macro lens and i'm very much a novice yet, but i love it.
The lens has a fixed depth of field. For best overall sharpness, try to get the subject in one plane about an inch from lens.
Moment's macro lenses are very light and portable. The ability to securely fasten the lenses onto my phone was actually a selling point. If you buy the $7 app it helps your lenses focus and make your photography even better.
The lens snaps onto the case and offers a stable and secure hold. I love how easy it snaps onto my moment case, and how detailed the videos/pictures are.

Highlights
Quality

Forget those clipon lenses those wont stay in place and pics quality is so so

So if you can’t afford an actual camera and a 5001000 macro lens this might be for you
Do yourself a favor save some money if youre planning in buying a cheaper one a get this lens
Maybe a little on the expensive side for its limitations
Packaging/appearance
It appears they do sell open box stuff on their website so i’m wondering if some made it into the amazon stock
The only negative i can take away is it appears some of these may be refurbished each lens came in a brand new box however the ... Read More
The infocus part of the photo is crispy and the bokeh is gorgeous
Competitiveness
I found another similarly priced brand that makes a larger macro lens with a bigger focal area and offers a universal clipon mo... Read More
It seems superior to most of the others on the market right now

The diffuser hood is great for getting just the right distance for certain shots but other times it gets in the way and needs to be removed to get the lens where you need
