APEXEL 28x Telephoto Lens with Multi-Coating and 199mm Aluminium Alloy Body
Whether you are capturing wildlife, architectural details, or the action at a sports event, the APEXEL 28 times lens brings distant subjects into clear view. With a 28x magnification and a narrow 5.3-degree field of view, this lens is designed for dedicated telephone photography. Its optical system comprises six elements arranged in four groups, with multi-coatings that reduce flare and improve contrast. The lens body is machined from aluminium alloy and reinforced with ABS plastic, making it strong enough for regular use while remaining portable.
Features and Optical Design
This section covers the key optical and construction details that define the APEXEL 28x lens, from its multi-coated glass to its thread mounting system.
Multi-Coated Optics
The glass elements feature anti-reflective multi-coatings. These coatings minimise internal reflections and lens flare, which helps maintain image contrast and colour accuracy when shooting towards bright light sources. The result is cleaner, sharper telephoto images compared to uncoated or single-coated alternatives.
6 Elements in 4 Groups
Six optical elements are arranged in four groups to correct chromatic aberration and spherical distortion. This construction allows the lens to resolve fine details at the far end of its reach, making it suitable for subjects such as birds, distant landmarks, or performers on stage.
Aluminium Alloy and ABS Build
The lens barrel is made from aluminium alloy, which provides rigidity without adding excessive weight. ABS plastic is used for the base and thread ring to offer impact resistance. This combination keeps the lens at a manageable weight for handheld use while withstanding the wear of being carried in a bag or pocket.
Mounting and Compatibility
Understanding how this lens attaches to your smartphone is essential for getting the best results. The mounting system is specified to fit a standard thread size.
M17xP0.75 Thread Interface
The lens uses an M17x0.75 threaded mount. This size is common among smartphone telephoto and macro adapters. You will need a compatible case or a universal clip that accepts this thread. Once attached, the lens sits securely over your phone’s camera lens.
Physical Length and Handling
At 199mm long, the lens extends a fair distance from your phone. This reach is necessary for 28x magnification, but it does require a steady hand or a tripod. The lens cap protects the front element when not in use, and a cleaning cloth is supplied to keep the optics dust-free.
Practical Use and Maintenance
Proper handling and storage will help maintain image quality and extend the life of the lens. Basic care is straightforward.
Steady Shooting Techniques
Because of the high magnification, any camera shake is amplified. For sharp results, mount your phone on a small tripod or rest it on a stable surface. Use your phone’s timer or a remote shutter to avoid touching the screen when capturing the shot.
Storage and Cleaning
Keep the lens in the supplied padded case when not in use. Clean the front and rear glass only with the microfiber cloth provided, using a gentle circular motion. Avoid using any solvents or abrasive materials on the coatings.
