MOMENT VS SANDMARC 58MM 2X TELE LENS BATTLE

Check out my video on Moment's 1.33x Anamorphic lens: https://youtu.be/S2cEQQGnbrE

The nice thing about the Sandmarc metal lens mount is it provides extra protection for your phone’s built in lenses.

Nice comparison, Love moment lenses, but having had issues with the cases and the bayonet mount being plastic I'll take a 17mm screwthread any day of the week now.

Thank you for this video!! Very great job on explaining and showing the differences.

I bought the 58mm Moment lens to use with the iPhone 14Pro, primarily on the main (48mp) lens. I read that there were issues with the Moment 58mm lens not fully compatible with the larger sensor of the iPhone 14pro.  I did my own tests and discovered that while the image is very sharp in the center, it quickly deteriorates toward the sides (ghosting, etc.). Very obvious. I assume(?) this is because the Moment 58mm lens was not originally designed for the new larger sensor on the main lens.   I also tested the Moment 58mm lens on the iPhone 14Pro's telephoto lens and I didn't see any obvious ghosting, I'm guessing because it uses a smaller sensor.   The lens is solid built with great optics, but.... I'm really disappointed in this lens as I bought it to use on the larger sensor lens, not over the telephoto lens. Moment's statement that it's compatible with the iPhone14Pro is only partially accurate. Moment needs to update this lens for the larger camera sensors, similar to what Beastgrip did with their new 1.7x tele lens. Thanks for your review and comments.

Excellent comparison, thanks man! I think the Moment seems better, tend to prefer the bokeh and sharpness and color rendering

I have 3 sandmarc lenses. The tele lens has a filter thread vs moment. The moment’s attachment feels better because sandmarc’s screw on doesn’t always fit perfectly so I may try few times before it sits

You might mention that in the bokeh test the details that are in focus which is typically more important than bokeh itself is way better on the sandmarc at least in these images even though it's a bokeh test it's worth noting.

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and I am split between these 2. Since both company are launching their updated version (T-series from moment and Lens V2 from Sandmarc) and I couldn’t find any proper review yet for these updated ones.😢

Excellent video, but I'm still torn between the Moment and Sandmarc lenses. I'm not an experienced photographer, but I would like to have a wide and tele lens for my iPhone 13 for an upcoming trip into nature. Based on most reviews, Moment seems to have a slight edge on the quality of the lenses. Sandmarc has a better price package, including a phish lens and covers for travelling. Is there a difference in user-friendliness for beginners between the lenses or required apps?

Thanks for your review . I had the old Moment and old Sandmarc tele lenses. They were not pair with the Beastgrip tele 2.0 and the Shiftcam tele which are both better lenses. I don't know how good is the new Sandmarc. I am sure it's better than the previous one? But how much better? The new 1.7 Beastgrip is better but not much better than the previous 2.0 Anyway, it's good to see the market for iPhone photographic products moving forward despite Apple making sure to make everybody's lives more difficult with their usual irresponsible manufacturing and phones which are a tiny smaller or bigger than the previous one, just enough to force people to buy new cases, new cages etc. I think the game changer will be Freewell with their Sherpa line which they promise to be future proof. I hope they will release a tele lens this year.

The only problem I have with moment is if I’m only getting the tele lens then I go moment but the anamorphic lens doesn’t work well with iPhone 14pro

It's a pity that these companies only make cases with lens mounts for the iPhone. It seems to me that photos with these lenses would look very cool on new smartphones with a 1 inch sensor.

Can we mount Moment lenses on Sandmarc cases and mount Sandmarc lenses on Moment cases? 🤔Thank you.

Moment was great until I got iPhone 14pro now it has that black shading in the corners sand Marc is perfect now

Is it true that Sandmarc 17mm thread works with Neewer cage (model PA023 or PA024)? And also how close can you can get to the subject?

Thank you for this video. And what about the new Beastgrip 1x7 tele lens? Is it the same kind of lens than the one reviewed in your video?

what iphone did you use in the comparison? Sorry I missed that probably

If I have Pixel 7 Pro (will probably get 8 or 9 later), and I ordered buy my gf a newest iPhone, there's no point in getting older lens, like 58mm M series by moment, correct? New phones have bigger sensors, and those lens are from 6-8 years ago at this point.

Great vid rob!!
