This a lens system for all sized iPhone 6’s and I’ll be honest with you, I’m amazed. Ztylus has put a lot of thought into the design of the system and it shows. The wide angle and telephoto lenses are very nice but I do have a couple of reservations about the case. Based on my time with this iPhoneography setup, I’ve given this product a score of 4.7 Eh’s out of 5. The rating is a little more arbitrary given that I don’t have a solid scoring system for camera iPhone cases but this is the baseline for iPhone camera cases going forward. I’m planning on doing a few reviews on camera cases in the near future so depending on when you’re watching my video, you can find the reviews by going to my website and searching “iPhone Camera Cases”. In terms of design, its very evident that Ztylus put a lot of thought into the design of their lens system. The entire system may seems a little daunting at first but when you get the hang of swapping lenses, its incredibly effective. Attaching the lens is fairly straightforward as there is only 1 right way to put it on and Ztylus has added a red part to the lens to remind you how the lens sits on the case. The entire setup is quite stable as I was unable to shake it loose. The lens cap is spring loaded which opens with a nice flip and if you really don’t want to deal with the lens cap, you can remove it since it attaches to the lens magnetically. The lens themselves are marketed to be of high quality but the specifics are outside of the realm of my understanding but I believe the Zytlus’s marketing fluff when I visually comparing the photos captured between other camera systems. If need to know more about the technical details of their 5 glass element lenses, I’d suggest you check out their website. In terms of the case, I’m not too fond of the incredibly shallow edges of the iPhone case. As you can see, the ITG Silicate glass screen protector extends past the edge which means the glass screen protector is holding the iPhone up on a flat surface. If you do get a screen protector with this case, I’d suggest you go with a thinner PET one like this Bodyguardz Screenguardz HD Impact. The case itself is quite heavy as the tops and bottoms are made out of thicker metal but this added weight made my shots feel a little more stable. The back of the case has an attachment point for other Ztylus accessories. The iPhone is uniquely installed by a thumbscrew at the bottom of the case. You can also attach a wrist strap to the case. I do wish that the case had little bit more texture as I wasn’t alway comfortable with having this awkward shape on the device. The lens does offer a bit of additional stability while shooting with one hand which helps a bit but there’s a part of me when I’m feeling snappish, that misses the grip of a DSLR. Now, having a functional lens on your iPhone is great but it’s only truly useful if its easily stored and accessible. The Z-prime carrier is a brilliant attachment that allows you to carry the lenses around. It has a strap/belt attachment as well as a clip that allows you to hang it off of anything. This is such a great thing because it allows you to have the lenses handy. Included with the Ztylus prime are two lenses, A 100 degree wide angle lens and a 2x telephoto. I ran a comparison against other wide angle lenses from Olloclip, HitCase and Optrix and the photos that came from the Ztylus wide angle lens were, clearer and had significantly less distortion. It was very surprising to me how sharp every photo that was taken by Ztylus was which leads to me actually believing the marketing fluff on Ztylus’s website. Ztylus doesn’t explicitly state it on their website but the wide angle lens also has some macro properties as it will definitely allow you to get closer to a subject than you usually would without the wide angle lens. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
