[Leica] FS: iPhone 6 playthings

[George Lottermoser]

So I tried to add some “ExoLens” peripherals to my iPhone 6s Schneider Optical kit.

Things didn’t work out as hoped.
I’d hoped to figure out a way to use the 3X with my Schneider Case/Bracket.
Or to get a small bracket to mount to the corner of the phone.
Nothing worked out as planned.

So I’m selling:

#1 - ExoLens bracket that will fit an iPhone 6 or 6s
3x Telephoto with Screw in Lens Shade
165˚ Super Wide that
Front and Rear Lens Caps for Both lenses
Small fabric sack to hold lenses.
It is this kit:

$30 + Free Shipping in USA

#2 - ExoLens Edge Bracket with gel liners to fit:
iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus
Essentially this product:

$35 + Free Shipping

Apparently ExoLens has produced two different sized screw mounts.
The Edge Attachment will only work with the Zeiss ExoLenses
Which are both costly and duplicate the focal lengths I already have
from Schneider. Though the Macro Zoom does look interesting.

The Edge bracket will NOT with 3X ExoLens thread in the kit #1;
much to my chagrin.

Both #1 and #2 are impressive aluminum brackets with rubberized protection for the phone.

The #1 kit lenses are well made though both with significant distortion.
Still - very cheap fun compared to the Schneider and Zeiss lenses.
The 3X would certainly do well for portraits at a comfortable distance;
which was my original intention. As its distortion is seen mostly in the corners.
The SuperWide is very similar to the Schneider SW and is great fun;
sticking the lens inside flowers and other places one couldn’t normally place an optical device.

Let me know if you have interest.
