SANDMARC has now unleashed its “most powerful zoom lens yet” for iPhone users, and we have an exclusive deal for our readers on the brand new release. We previously came away incredibly impressed with the reach and build quality on the Telephoto 6x lens attachment – here’s our hands-on review, but SANDMARC has now taken it up a notch with its brand new Telephoto 10x for iPhoneographers. Head below for a closer look and details on how to score our exclusive deal.
New SANDMARC Telephoto 10x Lens Edition for iPhone
SANDMARC is one of our favorite iPhone and Apple Watch accessory makers. Its titanium Apple Watch bands, for example, are utterly gorgeous and some of the most beautiful bracelet-style bands we have ever Tested out. But it is the iPhoneography gear the brand cut its teeth on and, perhaps, where it shines the most.
Enter the new SANDMARC Telephoto 10x Lens Edition for iPhone (12 through 16).
Our most powerful zoom lens yet. Whether you’re capturing distant landscapes, wildlife, or intimate portraits with natural depth-of-field, the Telephoto 10x lens turns your iPhone into a pro-level zoom camera.
If you’re looking to get some of the best ultra zoom action you’ll find anywhere, we can only imagine the new 10x model will be even better than the already quite impressive 6x model we tested out previously.
It once again features a wonderful metal build with a “premium multi-coated glass” that houses a 240mm lens to give you 10x optical magnification.
Your iPhone’s digital zoom crops in, losing quality with every pinch and tap. That’s why professional photographers rely on optical zoom—true magnification with zero loss in detail. The Telephoto 10x Lens delivers exactly that.
It features an adjustable focus wheel right on the unit to allow users to “fine-tune focus for maximum sharpness and creative control” – I found this dial quite functional and easy to use on the previous model for the record. Designed with a shallow depth of field, SANDMARC says that, on top of the ultra zoom capabilities, the new 10X Telephoto “ensures a sharply defined focal point” that can result in “a softened background” and natural bokeh effects.
