NanoSight x200 Customer Reviews

I ordered this not really having high expectations. I have never been impressed with third third-party lens option for the iPhone. This NanoSight x200 lens not only performed well but it caused me to change my opinion on third-party lens options for the phone. I would recommend that you consider a case for your phone with a 17mm lens option. The clip is good for those who do not want to have a dedicated case or are looking for a quick option but the clip can be difficult to align perfectly between the phone's lens and the adapter. If not aligned properly you will not get optimal performance from your lens which is why I recommend a dedicated 17mm thread case. That said, the lens itself is impressive. I am not certain the Microscope image is something I will use often but the quality of the image caused me to go out and get a case (as mentioned) and I bought both a wide angle and the 18mm Probe lens from NanoSight x200. Both of these lens options provide images that I can not acquire with my larger mirrorless camera. I do some product photography and these additional lens options open up a lot of creative opportunities. While I am not convinced I will use this microscope lens frequently, it did produce a very clear image and worked as expected once I mounted it to a case with a 17mm thread. The on-lens light is a necessity so make certain it is charged and you do need to push the lens right up against the object you are capturing. This can provide a bit of a challenge with items that are not perfectly flat (see leaf video above).

I recently tried these phone microscope lenses, and overall, I’m impressed with their functionality. They clip onto my phone easily and are straightforward to adjust, making the setup process hassle-free. The lenses are intuitive to use, even for someone without much experience in this type of photography. One standout feature is the built-in light source for each lens. Since you need to get very close to the subject to take pictures, relying on the phone’s flash isn’t an option. The adjustable lighting, including the ability to change color tones, is a thoughtful touch that helps capture detailed textures and miniature models with clarity. The lenses also provide excellent magnification for their size, delivering sharp and detailed close-up images when used on flat or consistent surfaces. Switching lenses in the provided bracket is quick and easy, which is helpful when working on multiple shots. They’re particularly effective for photographing textured surfaces or intricate details on small objects like models. However, there are a few downsides. Each lens having its own light source means you’ll need multiple batteries, which can be inconvenient. Additionally, the lenses are a bit bulky, which makes them less portable than I’d hoped. Focusing on uneven surfaces can be tricky and requires a lot of patience, which might frustrate some users. Overall, these lenses are a solid option if you’re looking to capture highly detailed close-up photos, especially of flat or textured subjects. While they have some practical challenges, the quality of the images and the flexibility they provide make them worth considering.
