External lenses can offer more versatility when taking photos on a smartphone, but despite this, I still don’t use them. From bulky designs to mediocre results, there are plenty of reasons why they’re not for me.

1

Smartphones Are Better at Zooming Than Ever

Smartphone cameras zoom much better than they used to, and mine is normally fine when I use this feature. I can also move closer instead of zooming in for most shots, so there’s no need for an external lens. For anything further away, I’ll use my mirrorless camera instead.

Before buying an external lens, think about what you really want from your phone camera. Built-in optical zoom is often a better solution than fiddling with add-ons.

Focal Length Tweaks Are Already Built-In

Aside from image quality, versatility is one of the biggest reasons I buy lenses for my mirrorless camera. This is why most of my lenses are zoom lenses. Versatility would be a priority for any smartphone lens I buy, but unlike a pro camera, I already have built-in options to tweak the focal length.

For example, with a simple tap, my iPhone lets me switch between 0.5 and 1 x on the main camera screen. The Photos app also lets me crop parts of my image that may not have appeared in the main photo (16:9 is the default, so you won’t necessarily see everything when taking the picture.)

I Can Add Filters on My Smartphone

Another reason why people buy smartphone camera lenses is to get new filters. Several ND filters are available; in many cases, you have to clip these onto your external lens. But while these can help you get more unique results, they aren’t necessary.

I can add multiple filters to my smartphone pictures without downloading a third-party app. Some of my favorite iPhone camera filters include Vivid and Dramatic Warm. There’s also a handful of black-and-white options.

If I want more, I can download camera apps to take even better shots. I’m open to getting an ND filter if I find one that matches my style, but I haven’t seen one yet.

External Lenses Are Intrusive

Some external lenses, especially larger ones like 50mm zoom lenses, feel intrusive. They’re not pocket-friendly, and you need to remove them before storing your phone.

On top of that, I’d rather avoid drawing unnecessary attention while shooting photos in public. Keeping things low-key makes photography more enjoyable for me.

5

External Lenses Can Cause Image Distortion

If you’ve ever taken photos with any lens, you’ve probably encountered image distortion at least once. It happens with even the best mirrorless lenses that cost thousands of dollars. However, I have noticed that it occurs much more when using external smartphone lenses.

Since many external smartphone camera lenses are third-party, the distortion is worse than when I take a picture with the native camera. These issues can be easily fixed in tools like Lightroom, but you may struggle if you don’t have access to third-party editing software.

These distortions aren’t always dealbreakers, but they’re something to consider if you’re thinking about buying external lenses.

I Don’t Like Setting Up the Lenses

I prefer shooting street photography on my smartphone to my DSLR (and many other genres) because carrying my phone around is much easier. All I have to do is take my smartphone out of my pocket, open the Camera app, and start capturing photos. Choosing the right settings can sometimes be a hassle, even if I don’t change the lens on my mirrorless camera.

If I used external lenses instead, I would have to spend more time setting up my phone. Smaller lenses only need to be clipped on, but you may have a more complex setup process for bigger ones. Because your phone is much smaller, you might also need to set up a tripod.

I don’t think the extra setup time is worth the effort. I’d rather use my mirrorless camera for more complex photos and my smartphone for casual ones.

Apps Offer the Flexibility I Need

One argument against smartphone cameras is that they aren’t as flexible as pro cameras. You can zoom in, but it doesn’t match the same level as pro camera lenses. Most of the time, you can’t even change the shutter speed and ISO.

While I agree that smartphones are more limited than purpose-built cameras, you can customize your settings more than you think. Like with other camera lenses, you can change your aperture in some instances (Apple’s Portrait Mode, for example).

If I need more flexibility, I can easily download third-party apps. The ProCamera iOS app, for example, has good low-light performance and anti-shake technology.

Setting up extra lenses is already a hassle, and I don’t want to carry more gear than necessary. Juggling multiple lenses in my bag is frustrating, and constantly worrying about them takes the fun out of photography.

Another problem is that it makes forgetting your equipment easier. I regularly empty my bag at home to avoid clutter, but this has led to me accidentally leaving essential items behind more times than I’d like to admit.

Having my smartphone camera ready to go—and knowing I’m not missing out by leaving extra equipment at home—makes it much easier to take more photos. This, in turn, helps me improve my skills naturally.

I’m better off without smartphone camera lenses for multiple reasons. I don’t like carrying more things than I need to, and taking pictures is easier without setting up external equipment. In many cases, smartphone zoom is reasonable enough to take good photos.
