Phone lens kit Apexel SB8685 — 2-in-1 macro 12.5x and wide-angle 0.45x for smartphone cameras

The Apexel SB8685 2-in-1 phone lens kit includes a 12.5x macro lens and a 0.45x wide-angle lens engineered for smartphone cameras. The set expands close-up capability to capture fine detail with the macro element and broadens the field of view with the wide-angle element for landscapes, interiors or group photos. The kit attaches to most smartphone models and is intended to enhance mobile photography for hobbyists, content creators and anyone who needs improved close-up or wide-angle performance from a phone camera.

Advantages

The 12.5x macro lens enables high-magnification close-ups to reveal texture and small details that standard phone lenses cannot resolve, while the 0.45x wide-angle lens increases horizontal coverage to include more scene in a single frame. The kit is compact and lightweight for easy portability and mounting, and it preserves autofocus and exposure control of the host smartphone in most shooting conditions. Optics are designed to minimise common aberrations and to provide a balanced image across the usable field of view when used within recommended focal distances.

Suitable for

• Close-up photography of small subjects such as plants, insects, jewellery and product details
• Landscape and architecture shots that require a wider field of view
• Group and interior photos where more scene inclusion is needed
• Social media content creation, hobby photography and mobile product photography

How to use

Attach the selected lens to the phone using the supplied clip or mounting accessory, aligning the lens optic with the phone camera. Use the 0.45x wide-angle lens for broader scenes and the 12.5x macro lens for detailed close-up subjects. For macro shots, position the phone at the manufacturer-recommended working distance from the subject to achieve focus; small adjustments in distance and camera angle are often required to obtain sharp results. Keep the lens and phone camera clean and free of fingerprints to maintain image clarity.

Usage recommendations

For best results with the macro lens, use steady support such as a small tripod or stable surface and adequate lighting to reduce motion blur. When using the wide-angle lens, watch for edge distortion at extreme angles and adjust composition or distance to subjects accordingly. Store the lenses in their protective case when not in use to avoid scratches.
