Amazing product! Works perfectly perfectly for bird watching :)
A very nice lens and very useful, as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has an ultra wide lens of inferior quality I have been using this external lens over the main camera (23mm --> 14mm ). I am getting very good fotos and videos with high luminosity and detail.
The only problem is with the rubber cap on the attachment side that comes loose all the time. Some users may find this annoying.
As a fisheye this lens offers a width not possible with the phone cameras. It is not one I use too often but for the tests I have take some images both on exterior and interior. The ons in daylight have been very good, it's a reasonable amount of curvature that I can correct by software. In the interior ones, with low light, I have found that this lens luminosity seems to be a bit low for such width, showing some chromatic aberrations. All in all I am satisfied with it for my purposes.
Other issue is the rubber cap on the attachment end is not good, it comes off all the time. Again is not a problem for me as I am printing inserts for my sling bag for these lenses but other users users might find it annoying.

Really good image quality compared to the older 2 times retro lens. big and heavy but worth taking with you. An optional screw mount for a tripod would be nice though
I have a Smallrig 1.55 anamorphic lens with a T-mount. It doesn't fit your cage and I payed 80 bucks for a piece of useless gear. The lens wont stay fixed in the right position. When tightened all the way, the lens is tilted and can't be used as the picture is tilted, distorted and heavily vignetted. What a waste of money.
I have owned dozens of analog and digital cameras over the years, and I've also used most of the software out there for my iPhone camera.
First, fotor gear software far out performs any other software I've used. Even the editing functions are clearly outlined and amazing – I haven't used my Lightroom app since getting it.
The most amazing feature of the software is it's recipes – you can see them in real time simply by turning a knob on the retro camera case or hitting a button at the bottom of the screen if you're not with the case. They seem to their titles, and I've used a variety of them and not had one dog among them.
Secondly, the retro camera case is well made, very functional, and is a conversation topic wherever I take it.
It usually starts with the question quotation0 is that a camera?" and we go from there… Several serious photographers that I have showed it to have invested. Speaking of investing I got the case and an assortment of lenses for what I need and it was less than I pay for one Fuji lens for my XT 5
This case is amazing honestly. The quality is really really good. I haven’t ran into any major issues with it and I hope to get to try one of the lenses for it someday. However, the app still needs work at the time of writing this review as it has some kind of annoying bugs. Honestly would love to help the team squash these. But if you’re interested in this case, honestly go with this over the others in this space.
No camera app, impossible to rotate the image when the 2x tele Is on Place.

Good quality lens, photos are sharp and clean. My only issues are the lens caps: they are loose and can't stay, easily off.
