The ExoLens is by no means a cheap accessory for your iPhone, but if you’re reasonably serious about taking better wide-angle or landscape photos with your iPhone, then it could be a better idea than shelling out for an additional camera.

Bear in mind that you need to buy the attachment to fit the lens on, but once you’ve bought that, the good news is that you can use it with any other of the lenses in the system (there’s a macro and a telephoto lens available).

The biggest problem with this system is that you can’t use it with your existing iPhone case. That makes your iPhone vulnerable, and, considering you’re changing the way it feels by adding a large lens to it, you’re arguably more likely to drop it. You’re also unlikely want to walk around with a large lens attached to your iPhone for every day situations, so this is a lens which is for more considered photography, rather than spontaneous situations.

On the brighter side, image quality is very impressive for an iPhone lens accessory - considering the image is going through two lenses, the sharpness is great and there’s practically no visible distortion in most shots.
