Moment M-Series 1.33x Anamorphic Lens, Gold Flare Edition

2025-04-27T20:00:00

This is some lovely hardware, beautifully manufactured. The optics are excellent and produce that cinematic look. The flare is a bit less than I thought it would be but I haven't tested it under all lighting conditions yet. Where it is there, the gold flare has a lovely feel of classic cinema about it. I have been using it to shoot exclusively stills so far so can't comment on performance shooting video. The image quality on my Pixel 9 Pro is sharp around the centre, but softens considerably on the fringes - which again plays into that classic soft focus look. There's also sometimes some white vignetting on the bottom edge, but I'm not sure if that's the Pixel optics trying to do something as it fades in and out even when holding still. The official Google camera app sometimes has trouble with this lens with the telephoto lens - it seems to try to focus on the rear optical element. But I haven't found too many issues with this in practical use. Vignette notwithstanding, the biggest criticism I have is that the grub screw that holds the lens mount adaptor in place seems to get loose over time. There's a tiny allen key included and a couple of spares, but it does get loose frequently - after every 2-3 fits onto the case - leading me to be a little concerned that either it'll fall out entirely and the lens will drop, or that the mount will get loose over time without the ability to tighten it up. I use this on my Pixel 9 Pro with Moment case.

The product works great and I have had no issues with it. My only complaint isn't related to the product itself but rather to the process of getting it. After ordering it I had to wait almost 4 months before finally receiveing it but since then I have loved it.

Most of my work revolves around steady shots with a telephoto lens, or interior YouTube videos shot with something like a 16-18mm lens. But after picking up the anamorphic combo, my ambitions are definitely growing. The results right out of the box are pretty impressive, so I'm excited to learn a few more tricks to max out the potential of these anamorphics. The most fun lens from Moment.

I had no idea I will love these SO much! The image quality coming out of these tiny lenses is INSANE! Working on a full youtube video reviewing both the anamorphic lenses.

I'm seeing vignetting chromatic aberration on this lens and it's a bit worrisome. I'm trying to find out how to get rid of it, and I am still awaiting a response from Moment. The gold flares are really great though.

The M-Series is a fantastic lens for beginners who are just diving into mobile photography and filmmaking. It was my first Moment lens and made the jaw-dropping impression right out of the box. Its quality is seen and felt through its clean black aluminum exterior and its crystal clear glass lens. Fitting like a glove in the drop-in mount on my Moment case makes it so simple to take on and off in a pinch to grab any shot out-of-pocket.

This is a new level of shooting on my iPhone. Good quality of both the lens and the image. The kit includes a lens cap.

The anamorphic 1. 33x moment lens delivers an impressive 2. 35:1 aspect ratio and with the new T-series larger lens, the footage is more crystal clear with less loss of sharpness. Highly recommend to use with a new iPhone!

The 1.33x T-series lens paired with the iPhone 15 Pro excels in video when using with a stabilized gimbal to prevent the 'jelly' jittering effect. The crop factor in video helps to reduce some of the edge softness and aberration that shows up in the 1x photo mode. For stills: the 3x zoom (77mm equivalent) on the 13 Pro/ ProMax, 14 Pro/ ProMax, and 15 Pro pairs well with the 1.33x stretch. When it hits, goodness, it's a magical combination and works with both the M- and T- series anamorphic lenses. It's unfortunate that Apple has done away with the 3x lens on the 16 Pro. Hopefully that lens can make a comeback in the future. One thing to note: the stock adjustment screw that came with lens received was not the highest quality and the threads stripped while adjusting. Acquiring separate third party M2x3mm screws that were slightly longer as a replacement have been much more stable in keeping the bayonet fixed in place.

I really want to love this lens but a couple of things hold me back (neither of which are the fault of the lens, I think, but good to be aware of) First, if you are using a universal mount or it's not mounted juuuust right, the edges can be blurry resulting in an unusable shot. Second, not sure why but the footage isn't being de-squeezed properly in the moment app. Third, I'd really love a line on all four sides so if you're changing the orientation of the lens using the included wrench, you can line it up no matter which side it ends up on.

I love the anamorphic look this lens creates, the golden version gives it a nice classic, warm touch.

As with my other anamorphic lens, I love the photography/cinematography these enable... the gold flares look gorgeous!

This lens creates that special cinema anamorphic look... which looks gorgeous, not just for video but also photos! I especially love the blue flares it produces when I play with the light.

Excellent piece that adds another great element to mobile film making. I'm still learning about filming but what I've seen so far lets me know it was a great investment.

I've received and testing the quality of the product is very good. there is a bit concern about the tool but that not the case of the product of the lens itself. the video quality and photos is very good.

So glad I got it. The anamorphic iPhone lens is a game-changer for mobile videography, delivering a stunning cinematic look with ease. Its sleek, sturdy design ensures durability and secure attachment, making it perfect for on-the-go filming. The lens excels in producing vibrant, true-to-life colors and minimal distortion, while the signature widescreen effect and horizontal lens flares add a professional touch to any footage. Overall,I give it 5 stars.

Great mobile lens, works as intended and is super sharp. However, it's recommended to use without a phone case when using the universal adapter. Some black shadows appear if the lens is slightly raised from the phone lens due to the thickness of the phone case. Slight inconvenience, but overall a great lens.

Bought 3 lenses, they all came dirty and I could visibly see finger prints on the lenses and crumbs, dust and such. Also they do not come with a protection for the back of the lenses which I would think would be included for such an expensive product. Also got a lens brush and the bristles immediately started falling off the brush. Products are way too expensive for the quality. I did buy some pre owned items but am still paying a big price for the products and they didn't even come cleaned and didn't seem checked well. Will not go through this company again.

I am a paid photojournalist and the camera I have with me is better than the camera that isnt. That means my iPhone 15Pro. I wrote an article on the difference between using Apples Panorama mode versus an anamorphic lens. Pano mode adds a lot of distortion to the photo that an ana lens does not. The ana lens also lets you compose and time your shot while pano is come as you are and can be bombed by anything changing in the frame as you move the camera. Brave Moment for some fine lenses.
