Wide Angle Phone Lenses: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. As with nearly every industry, mobile has disrupted the photography industry in a big way. Global smartphone use is on the rise as the technology becomes more available than ever before. Much to the ire of photography purists and elitists, smartphone photography is here to stay, and it's getting better.
Fact #2. Lens attachments for smartphones have become very popular recently, especially as the quality of smartphone cameras increases. These attachments take the sub-optimal lens provided by many smartphones and make it better by fitting various lenses to the outside of the phone.
Fact #3. A wide angle phone lens shortens the focal length of the phone's standard lens. This allows the photographer to fit a wider angle of view into the frame, without switching to panorama mode. These lenses are good for fitting a large group of people into one photo, but are best used in landscape photography.
Fact #4. A macro lens is another common attachment for phones. Macro lenses allow cameras to focus on objects extremely close to them, while sacrificing the ability to focus on anything at normal ranges. Fisheye lenses are another common attachment. They are like wide angle lenses, but are more specialized. They create extremely wide images by curving lines that would normally be straight. They can also often produce a circular or oval image with a 180 degree field of view, which is great for large panoramic photos.
Fact #5. Currently, a high-end camera beats a smartphone in every way except price tag. The ability to shoot in RAW and edit in post, provide more detail and less noise, and a proper zoom function all make the DSLR a better choice for photography. However, given advancements in smartphone gadgetry, the future may be different.
