I'm eager to get this new triple-macro lens set — only slightly regretting that I just bought the 4-in-1 lens set to replace my much-beloved 3-in-1 set. The 4-in-1 seems noticeably better in quality of image than the 3-in-1, so I'm happy about that.
I also carry the 2X telephoto. I love it, often having it on the phone all the time. The slightly longer length gives a noticeably different view than the normal lens of the iPhone. I especially like that if I focus in the distance, especially a little off to the side of centre, I get a quite pleasing softness/blurring of the image. Up close I achieve a stronger bokeh and softness with the telephoto.
I'm not much impressed with the polarizing filter. It does work, but weakly at best. I much prefer the Trygger polarizing add-on, though it doesn't work with other lenses …
I'm an amateur botanist. Closeups are dream-makers for me. So I'll almost certainly buy the new triple macro lens the first time I see it 'in real life'.
Am I mad at Olloclip for frequent unannounced updates to hardware? … What? … Are you goshing me? … Jeez, for the price of all of these Olloclip products, I couldn't even approximate the cost of a macro lens for my DSLR! … And I carry them in my pocket! As far as I'm concerned, quality innovation is to be encouraged, even if it costs me a few weeks worth of lattes at my favourite coffee shop.
