Reconsider and make the best photos you can with the native lenses. Keep it simple, that’s the beauty of the excellent camera you now have. Zoom with your feet. You’ll find plenty to shoot and keep the load light.

Unfortunately it is not possible to zoom with my feet in many cases. I love this iPhone, camera but really miss being able to get closer to the subject after using my digital camera with big zoom lens.

On another UHH thread there was one comment advising against the cheap lenses and none that were in favor. I’d suggest a small camera like the Canon PowerShot ELPH 190 Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom and Image Stabilization for under $200.

Thanks but I have two digital cameras alread. I really love my new iPhone and just want to extend the zoom.

And there’s the "real camera" snobbery. Every camera has limitations. It’s just a matter of working within them.

You won’t be happy. I tried Moment lenses and sold them (big loss), oh well live and learn. Use your big camera for your big tele needs.

Agree! My iPhone takes great photos and reviews have shown how close to SLR cameras iPhone cameras have become.

Haha, I'm with you, do as you please. I wish you well.

I'm still struggling dealing with people dumping film cameras for digital and I'll certainly be in the grave before I could accept a phone for any type of photography other than selfies. That's just me and I accept I maybe have issues to overcome.
