    Interesting video - thanks. I got to it from the one about the Moment lenses, which I've been wondering about buying but haven't yet (so thanks for that one as well). Last year I got rid of a DSLR system and bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max as the replacement. I had been looking at these add-on lenses as an extra, and your videos have been very helpful.
    I'm very happy with the iPhone within the limits of the focal lengths available. We won't, however, mention the fact that I've just bought a s/h mirrorless system to give me something that goes beyond 77mm.....

    I have 3 Sandmarc lenses. Here’s something to know:
    Their basic plastic case is rubbish. It cracked after I dropped the phone at home. Besides the rear glass of the IPhone broke. The paint peeled after a week of use but that I’m not bothered about.
    The tele lens has a filter thread. Others don’t
    The IPhone stabilizer doesn’t seem to work with tele lens on.

    Great review. And timely. I was on the verge of ordering the Moment tele and anamorphic when I saw your test with them on the new iPhone 14 pro. It seems as though the lens size/mounting system of the Sandmarc tele fixed a lot of the issues you found trying to use the Moment tele with the iPhone 14 pro. I know you're still getting ready to test, but any guesses whether the Sandmarc Anamorphic will be equally as lucky given its different mounting style?

    • @JCKRGB
      @JCKRGB  Рік тому +2

      Thanks Don! I’ve just received the rest of Sandmarc’s lenses. Can confirm they work great with the 14 Pro / Pro Max in my early tests! No dark corners or vignetting that I can see! I’ll try them out some more and have a video out when I can. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

      @@JCKRGB thanks JCK! Same and same, for the anamorphic anyways. Though I did discover that, even a 40.5mm to 67mm step up ring without a filter even screwed on will cause vignetting with the anamorphic. Will have to zoom in a little when shooting anamorphic with an ND filter. Small price to pay. Also, as others have found the 1.33x desqueeze doesn’t work quite perfectly with this one on most camera apps (moment, cinema p3), for example shooting a round plate overhead. It does seem to work well with Filmic Pro for some reason…

    • @JCKRGB

      Thanks for sharing Don! They haven’t sent an ND, I only have their polariser. And they’ve send the Blue Flare 1.33x anamorphic to be specific. Interesting! I mostly shoot in Filmic anyway as Moment doesn’t really update their app much anymore! ✌🏻

    just curious. using that 2x zoom method, where you crop the 48 MP down to 12 MP, the sandmarc telephoto lens could give you a 4x instead of the 3x built in?

    How are the images when the 58 mm lens is mounted on the tele camera instead of the main camera? Obviously it'd be more sensitive to shake but if the images are good, I often could use a longer lens that the stock 2x or 3x.

  • @barbararice1459

    When I put the lens on my iphone14 pro and try to shoot in Photo mode, half the view is blacked out. Why?

    • @JCKRGB
      @JCKRGB  Рік тому

      This can happen with the built-in camera app for a couple of reasons.
      Firstly the camera might be auto-switching to Macro mode. To prevent this, go to the Settings app > Camera > Scroll down to Macro Control and turn this toggle on. Now in the camera app, when you get within macro distance of your subject, the Yellow Macro button appears on the screen.
      Tap the Macro button to turn off automatic macro switching.
      Apple has a guide here to: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphfaacf2eb0/ios
      The other reason is the native camera app sometimes tries to switch to another camera if it thinks something is blocking it. There’s no way to turn this off, so it’s best to use a third party camera app that doesn’t auto switch. I like to use Filmic Pro, Halide and the Moment Pro Camera App. I’ve linked to those in the description but there are lots of others out there too. Hope that helps you! ✌🏻

    Head cold all gone, Jack, nice. Much covered in compact vid. Disclaimer of not sponsored video a bit at odds with flag “Includes paid promotion”. Skipped over why these lenses are problematic w/native camera app and require 3rd party app - comparison pics would elucidate. Exif data still not in files, correct? Rear lens cap looks easy to misplace. Pouch in case a plus. Cheers!

    • @JCKRGB
      @JCKRGB  Рік тому +1

      Feeling much better! Cheers Paul! When I post a video, UA-cam has a Paid Promotion checkbox which states "If you accepted anything of value from a third party to make your video, you must let us know. We'll show viewers a message telling them that your video contains paid promotion." Because SANDMARC sent me these lenses for free to review, that would fall under "accepted anything of value" - even though I'm not being paid or sponsored by them. But the wording of the label it shows in the video is always the same - it just says "Includes paid promotion" - which personally I think is a bit confusing on UA-cam's part! Therefore I check the box - but explain in my videos that the product was sent to me for free, but that the video is not sponsored!
      I've shown how lens attachments can cause the active camera to switch in the Native Camera app in videos before so I did skip over it this time.
      No exif data in the files as the iPhone has no was of knowing what lens is mounted. Perhaps some third party apps could do that if you told it what lens you were using 🤔 Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

    So using the 58mm with the 3x tele gives you more reach but that reach is digital rather than optical right? So the image quality wouldn’t be as good as a genuine optical zoom? Just trying to get my head around this.

    • @JCKRGB
      @JCKRGB  Рік тому

      No the reach is optical with the Tele Lens over the Tele Camera. The Tele camera on the 14 Pro’s is a 3x. The Tele lens equals about a 2x. Giving you 6x when both are combined. You could zoom in further but then you’d be zooming in digitally. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
