I ordered this gadget for mobile phone from aliexpress.com and it was delivered few days ago.
This is an amateur accessory and it is not for any professional work.
First thing that I noticed was a stain on the lens and I can't to clean it. And that's not all about cheap things. Cheap things always die on the very first day. So, this came with few other lenses and mini tripod, and tripod broke at the moment of unpacking. Well, whole kit costed only 12$, so I kinda expected that. Check my order here.
I already had a macro lens, a wide lens and a fisheye lens, and I already wrote about them on Steemit, so today, I will show you how bad this OPTICAL ZOOM can be.
OPTICAL ZOOM 8X LENS
I already mentioned that this thing came with a mini tripod.
Upper part is made from very bad and fragile plastic so it broke at the moment of unpacking. I took some super-strong glue and fixed it, but I have to be more careful with this now. But tripod is very cool and I am having fun with it because I can put it everywhere and adjust it on the way I want.
This is not for any professional photography, but it is nice for playing and having some fun!
Let's test the OPTICAL ZOOM LENS.

It's kinda fucked up to focus trough this lens and the FOCUS wheel on this lens is very hard to turn.
NERIUM OLEANDER AND COLA FRIDGE...
...WITHOUT OPTICAL ZOOM
...WITH OPTICAL ZOOM
Still kinda blur and impossible to get nice focus.
At the moment of taking these photos I was pretty clumsy with this gadget, so I decided to practice on my favorite magnolia.
