The Best Wide Lens For Your Smartphone | Moment Wide 18mm
Updated on Jun 6, 2022
Made for the everyday photographer and filmmaker, the Wide 18mm Lens is the best, most perfect go-to smartphone lens on the market. Here’s why.
Capture the whole scene with an 18mm focal length perfect for landscape photography, urban scenes or tight indoor real estate photography. With edge to edge clarity the Wide Lens is sharper and more versatile than any built-in wide lens on the newest iPhones and Galaxy phones.
The Wide 18mm Lens has been tested with all models of the iPhone 14 and IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. Working over the 1x wide and 3x tele lens on the phone, your shots will be elevated to the next level.
On phones with a built-in wide, our wide lens is sharper in any condition and performs better in lowlight situations. Unlike the iPhone 11 built-in Ultra-Wide, the Wide 18mm is compatible with Night Mode and allows you to shoot in RAW.
Using our proprietary design process, we have created a stunning aspheric lens that delivers exceptional edge-to-edge image quality. This all-glass asphere improves on our already class-leading distortion correction and maintains razor sharp images on iPhone’s F/1.8 aperture.
We went through many design iterations until we came to what we believe is the best mobile photography lens in the world.
Designed by cinema optics engineers with over 20 years of experience making high-end cinema lenses. Carefully crafted coatings, and hand finished glass from our precision factory in Korea. We want this lens to take your footage to the next level. Our designs are optimized for performance on a phone. You get edge to edge clarity and true 18mm focal length.
This Wide is part of our M-Series lenses that is compatible with the latest iPhone, Pixel, Galaxy, and One Plus Phones. One thing that makes Moment lenses unique is the detail we put into the metal body of the lens and the interface on the bottom. Made from an aerospace grade metal we ensure each lens smoothly rotates in and out of our Moment Cases.
If you trade or upgrade your phone you’ll only need a new case and the same lens works across devices.
We grabbed some of our favorite photos on the Moment 18mm Wide Lens. We are always inspired by what you can capture on a phone.
It's been used by Hollywood directors like Steven Soderbergh and Sean Baker, professional wedding filmmakers like White in Revery, and by creators like you. Here are some of our favorite short films shot with the Wide Lens.
When you pick up a Moment Lens, you instantly feel the quality. This isn’t a cheap plastic lens. Instead, it’s made of aerospace grade metal and the same hand-polished glass used for high-end 4K film lenses. It adds just enough weight to your phone, without weighing you down.
The curved shape of the hood provides a distinct visual look and a functional purpose to maximize image quality. And if you ever see a wavy, metal lens hood out in the wild...you know they are shooting on Moment.
We believe in hand crafted quality that stands the test of time. Each lens is hand polished with multiple layers of glass and enclosed in machined aluminum. You feel the quality from the minute you pick up the lens. And these YouTubers agree.
Wirecutter is a well known publication that dives deep into reviewing whole categories of products. Better than reading Amazon reviews, they test dozens of different products until they determine their single recommended product. In their test of the best mobile photography lenses...Moment is the winner.
"For avid smartphone photographers concerned about high-quality, print-ready results, Moment lenses are worth the investment. The wide lens expands your iPhone’s field of view just enough to feel like a fresh perspective (about 0.63x magnification). The 2x telephoto lens extends your iPhone’s optical zoom a bit farther without degrading your image quality as digital zoom can, even if you have a dual-lens iPhone. Both lenses produce impressively clear images with little to no distortion across the entire frame." ~ Erin Lodi
