But while some Android brands are a little more extreme, Apple tends to be restrained with the iPhone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">If you want to take the iPhone camera to new lengths (literally), then the Reeflex converter lens could be the answer for you, with some impressive results shared \u2013 and claiming to rival the power of serious Sony cameras costing thousands.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-15b2388d-4e6e-41d1-907a-3076ba7f9631-0\">Reeflex has been around for a couple of years, looking to evolve mobile photography beyond the cameras you have on your phone, thanks to its conversion lenses. New to the range is a 300-600mm ultra telephoto, effectively adding massive zoom range.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/muyd8brflw1729511975.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/muyd8brflw1729511975.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><br \/>\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-[#333]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-[#333]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-normal\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the sort of thing that we&#8217;ve seen from some Android manufacturers like Vivo with the X300 Pro and Oppo with the Find X9 Ultra. The idea is to magnify the image to reduce the need for digital zoom, and reduce the loss in quality in the process.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where Reeflex comes in, with its new lens currently on Kickstarter, which the company says is optimised for use with the iPhone 17 Pro. Using it with the 48-megapixel telephoto camera, you&#8217;ll get the equivalent of 300mm (12x), while at 12-megapixels it will deliver 600mm (24x).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube-video-title\">Capture the Unreachable \u2014 REEFLEX Ultra Telephoto 300\u2013600mm: the Best Zoom Lens on iPhone &#8211; YouTube<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/lQVD67nwAoo\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Capture the Unreachable \u2014 REEFLEX Ultra Telephoto 300\u2013600mm: the Best Zoom Lens on iPhone - YouTube\" data-aspect-ratio=\"16\/9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Watch On <\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-6b4c878c-22fc-4842-91d1-78cf4622913d\">The argument for this type of lens is that it&#8217;s basically pocketable, so you can take it everywhere, which can&#8217;t be said for specialised telephoto lenses for cameras, which are much bulkier. Yes, a traditional camera has a larger sensor and more glass, but it also costs much more.<\/p>\n<p>To fit this lens you&#8217;ll need a case, with Reeflex using a 17mm screw thread to line it up with the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.t3.com\/tech\/phones\/turn-your-iphone-into-a-pro-camera-worth-thousands-with-just-one-affordable-add-on-picture-samples-speak-for-themselves\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turn your iPhone into a pro camera worth thousands, with just one affordable add-on \u2013&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":241715,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/WRYTjhHEEGcxdkQkUToEgD-1920-80.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-241713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241713"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241713"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":241717,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241713\/revisions\/241717"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
