Moment has unveiled upgraded versions of its Macro lenses for smartphones, designed to deliver sharper, more detailed close-up photography. The new Moment T-Series Macro II 75mm lens features enhanced optics with additional glass elements, multi-layer coatings to minimize flare, and compatibility with 67mm filters via a removable front ring. It easily mounts to Moment Camera Cases for popular devices—including iPhone 14 and newer, Google Pixel 7 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S22 and newer—allowing photographers to capture finer details than built-in smartphone lenses typically allow. The lens weighs 114.5 grams, measures 33.4 mm long, and offers a 75mm 35mm-equivalent focal length.
In addition, Moment released the upgraded 10x Macro Lens II, a T-Series lens with hand-polished, multi-element glass that delivers edge-to-edge sharpness. With a working distance of just 1 inch, it allows mobile photographers to get significantly closer to subjects than with a 75mm lens or a standard smartphone camera, making intricate macro shots easily achievable.
