Most current high-end smartphones come with ultra-wide and/or dedicated tele lenses, offering wider focal length ranges than older devices. However, add-on lenses are still a popular way to expand the creative potential of smartphone cameras even further.
ShiftCam has been supplying its add-on lens cases since the iPhone 7 generation. Now the company has announced the latest versions for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The Shiftcam model for the iPhone 11 model adds a 180-degree fisheye lens, 10x macro, and a circular polarizer to your arsenal. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max models get four lenses in addition to a circular polarizer:
- 180-degree fisheye
- 4x telephoto
- 10x macro
- 20x macro
- Circular Polarizer
Like for previous Shiftcam cases, operation is easy. You move the required lens into place on a slider and select the corresponding lens of the built-in camera in the Apple camera app. This also means all your add-lenses are always with you and on the phone, so you don’t have to carry spare lenses in a bag like for more conventional add-on systems.
On the downside, your phone is bulkier than usual and you cannot use any other cases.
The new Shiftcam cases are available now. The iPhone 11 version is $ 64.99, while the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max cases will each set you back $ 74.99. More information is available on the Shiftcam website.
