Today I’ll introduce you to a lot of attention at this year's CES exhibition in Las Vegas. The ExoLens with Optics by ZEISS wide-angle lens set was just released. This lens is currently only sold exclusively in Apple's online store and Apple Store. The link is as follows
As more and more people use their iPhones to take pictures and record their lives, the time for taking out SLRs is getting less and less, and they have no resistance to ZEISS, so they gnash their teeth. Fortunately, Apple’s official website can be interest-free instalments... otherwise Eat soil
First look at packaging ~
The packaging is very simple, highlighting the Zeiss blue label in the upper right corner and the huge lens. Look carefully at the Zeiss T coating on the lens. Look forward!
On the back is an installation drawing and multilingual introduction, as well as information on agents in the country.
Look at the side, very simple but high-profile shows the appearance of the lens and the internal mirror structure, with aspherical lenses
Unpacking and opening the box, first a proof sheet of a ZEISS Queen’s photographer. After removing it, the lens and bracket are exposed.
The lens is fixed in a big sponge, the bracket is fixed on a black cardboard, and the fixing is very stable. There is no need to worry about the express delivery of violence. All the black designs are also more professional. When I took the photo card that was just printed to see if it was another proof, I found that the back is...
That's right, this ad! Tell you that ZEISS designed three shots in one breath, macro and 2X telephoto will be listed immediately, Amway I buy to buy ... Do you want to continue to pick it up ..........
All the things are taken out first, and after the brackets are removed, there is a big bag inside to hold the brackets. Inside the big bag is a small cloth bag with a lens cap and a hood, which will be shown later. There is also a black rubber lining, the role is to fit 6s Plus or 6 Plus (the width of the difference between 0.1mm, the thickness difference of 0.2mm), feel Exolens is still very careful, this difference seems to be negligible, it seems unnecessary Two linings are to be made separately, but after they are installed, they will still be found to be quite different. The 6 lining 6 will be loose and relatively easy to remove, but the probability of slipping or escaping will be high.
First off the box with a family portrait: the lens, lens cap, hood, bracket (already fitted with a 6 Plus liner), 6s Plus liner, and two bags
First look at the brackets, the workmanship is very delicate, is the machining of aluminum alloy, one forming without any seams, in addition to the black edge around each hollow part is actually the part of the inner liner that wraps the bracket, and tightly.
The top and bottom of the bracket are respectively used to connect other parts of the cold shoe interface and the standard 1/4 tripod interface, which means that no extra phone clips or the like are needed to connect the tripod, otherwise it is crazy...
To a close-up of the liner, inside the liner actually has a logo to distinguish which model iPhone is used in the end, this is 6s Plus, I still use 6 Plus...
Installation effect diagram... The bracket and the fuselage are very tightly combined, and even if the bracket is thrown hard, it will not come loose. The depression in the upper right corner is the position of the power button and does not affect the normal operation of the button. My mobile phone is actually a dark space gray. The color of the bracket is still a little deeper, but it's pretty good.
Look at the camera! ! ! Zeiss's small blue label ~~~~~~ lens uses the latest design of ZEISS. It is very similar to the Otus series of SLR and the Batis series of micro-single.
Can't help two more
The magenta T coating and the green light reflected by the internal mirror can be seen against the light, just like on the box. Mutar on the mirror circle is the focal length structure used by ZEISS for the phone lens, so this is why the lens only has a magnification of 0.6x and no focal length, but the equivalent focal length of this wide-angle lens is 18mm.
Gods return
On the tripod again, a ~~ appearance part is over, then the actual measurement
Measured
First, on the balcony by the G20 blue comparison perspective, the picture shows the iPhone's own lens The following picture shows the ZEISS wide angle, wide angle rod å“’
Comparing 100% of screenshots in the same area on the screen, except that the sharpness is slightly reduced, the other image quality is not significantly different, and there is no significant color difference. The ZEISS coating of ZEISS suppresses the glare of the roof tile reflection
Look at the purple edge and dispersion of the highlights. In the case of 100% display, there is only a slight yellow dispersion. It can be seen that the coated and aspherical lenses have good dispersion suppression, but there are proofs that are still purple in extreme cases. Edged.
Followed by some proofs ~~~~~~~
advantage:
Zeiss produces quality products
The bracket is very delicate in workmanship. It fits perfectly on the head of Zeiss. When the phone is installed, it can feel the perfect fit of the bracket and the mobile phone. It can be seen that the processing technology is very high and even fits even more than most mobile phone cases.
The lens is really good, quality and price are far superior to similar products (price is the only drawback, you need to recharge your faith)
The lens has almost no distortion, and its color, contrast, and resolution are all very good (6 Plus's 8 million pixels can't fully function at all), and most importantly, I used other third-party lenses such as olloclip and Manfrotto. Common problems of the class: The edge picture quality is very poor, and there is no such problem in Zeiss. No need to think about taking a picture, you need to cut out a circle around, and the whole picture is available.
Disadvantages:
The overall weight is still not light, of course, this shows that the material is very full, but for carrying, the two bags inside the package do not seem to be very convenient to use, it is best to have a small portable box, which has various things fixed Bit, pick and place should be a lot easier.
The installation of the lens uses a screw, and each time the installation is a little scared, I am afraid it will fall off the floor without being screwed up. In particular, the lens is smooth and short, and it can't be anxious when it is installed. If it is a bayonet like the SLR lens, it's perfect.
The front and rear cover of the lens is really easy to lose, especially the back cover, and it really fell out when it fell. Can't design a lanyard hole like this...
The lens will still have obvious purple fringes (sidewalks) in the case of large light ratios, but it is still acceptable, but it has not been attempted to improve with some camera apps with manual functions.
The last is the compatibility issue. According to Exolens now, different brackets are introduced for different models, and the lens is universal. However, with the coming annual update of the iPhone, it is not known whether their home will follow a separate stand, and if the new iPhone is as rumors as a pair of lenses, then how can this Zeiss head be compatible? I mailed these questions to the official support of Exolens, and the responses received are also general. Please take a look at the screenshots.
The above is a simple out of the box and use evaluation of this product, hoping to let friends who are interested in it know more about ~
