If your smartphone doesn’t have a trio of lenses (like the iPhone 11 Pro), you might be tempted to purchase a snap-on set. These allow you to add telephoto, ultrawide, and fisheye focal lengths to virtually any smartphone camera. But are they worth the money, or should you upgrade your phone instead?
如果您的智能手机没有三重镜头(例如iPhone 11 Pro )，您可能会想购买一个卡扣套。 这些功能使您几乎可以将长焦，超广角和鱼眼镜头焦距添加到任何智能手机相机中。 但是他们值得吗，还是应该升级手机？
相机镜头附件如何工作？ (How Do Camera Lens Add-Ons Work?)
Lens add-ons attach to your smartphone’s camera lens and increase or decrease its focal length. Most smartphones have at least one wide-angle lens. The one on the iPhone 11 is equivalent to about 26mm on a real camera, which is a bit wider than the human eye.
镜头附件会连接到智能手机的相机镜头，并增加或减少其焦距。 大多数智能手机至少具有一个广角镜。 iPhone 11上的一个等效于真实相机上的约26mm，比人眼宽一点。
Lens add-ons can give you more photographic possibilities when your phone doesn’t have additional lenses built-in. Telephoto lenses might double or triple your focal length (and, thus, zoom level), while fisheye lenses are so wide, they cause straight lines in your shot to appear curved.
当您的手机未内置其他镜头时，镜头附加组件可为您提供更多的拍摄可能性。 长焦镜头可能会使您的焦距增加一倍或三倍(从而达到变焦级别)，而鱼眼镜头是如此之宽，它们会使您拍摄的直线显得弯曲。
If you’re a fan of smartphone photography, aftermarket lenses allow you to go beyond what’s possible on your stock device. There are even some clip-on lenses you can mount to the front of your device to take super-wide selfies or make fisheye FaceTime calls.
如果您是智能手机摄影的爱好者，那么售后市场的镜头可以让您超越库存设备的能力范围。 您甚至可以将某些夹式镜头安装在设备的正面，以进行超宽自拍照或进行鱼眼FaceTime通话。
At the cheaper end of the spectrum are the pocketable plastic lenses you can clip on or off, as necessary. It’s not unusual to find multiple lens options in the same clip-on system. You’ll find hundreds of these one-size-fits-all options on sites like Amazon, Wish, or AliExpress.
在价格最便宜的一端是可插式塑料镜片，您可以根据需要将其夹上或取下。 在同一个夹式系统中找到多个镜头选项并不罕见。 您可以在Amazon，Wish或AliExpress等网站上找到数百种“一刀切”的选项。
Then, there are the “professional” clip-on systems, made from more robust materials, like glass and metal. Some of these require a purpose-built case, which ensures the lens lines up properly and remains in place.
然后是“专业”夹式系统，该系统由更坚固的材料(例如玻璃和金属)制成。 其中一些需要专用的外壳，以确保镜头正确对准并保持在原位。
These pricier options can be much bigger than the simple clip-on lenses. Many of them also come with a carrying case and lens caps to keep them safe.
这些价格更高的选择可能比简单的夹式镜头大得多。 他们中的许多人还配有手提箱和镜头盖，以确保安全。
Finally, some mounting systems don’t come with lenses. Rather, they’re intended for use with SLR and mirrorless lenses from manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, and Sony. These only make sense if you already have an arsenal of lenses you want to use with your smartphone.
最后，某些安装系统不附带镜头。 相反，它们旨在与佳能，尼康和索尼等制造商的单反相机和无反光镜一起使用。 仅当您已经拥有要与智能手机一起使用的大量镜头时，这些才有意义。
You can spend anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred on a lens add-on system. Unfortunately, none of them quite come close to a native, built-in telephoto or ultrawide lens, like those on the latest and greatest smartphones.
您可以在镜头附加系统上花费从几美元到几百美元的任何地方。 不幸的是，它们没有一个像最新，最出色的智能手机上的内置远摄或超广角镜头那样接近。
卡扣式镜头有局限性 (Snap-On Lenses Have Limitations)
A camera lens add-on is only as good as your smartphone’s primary camera lens. That is to say, any images that pass through a lens add-on must also pass through the existing lens on that Apple or Samsung (insert the manufacturer of your device here) phone.
相机镜头附件仅与智能手机的主相机镜头一样好。 也就是说，任何通过镜头插件的图像也必须通过该苹果或三星手机(在此处插入设备制造商)上的现有镜头。
This is a stark difference to a mirrorless or digital SLR camera system. When you change the lens on a modular camera, you’re swapping out the only piece of glass in front of the sensor. So, the image quality is as good as this lens allows.
与无反光镜或数码单反相机系统相比，这是完全不同的。 更换模块化相机上的镜头时，就是换掉了传感器前面的唯一一块玻璃。 因此，图像质量达到了该镜头所允许的水平。
If your smartphone’s camera is already of questionable quality, a lens add-on isn’t going to clean up the images—even if you spend a lot of money. Expect the same soft details around the edges, and glare or flares in places you don’t want them.
如果您的智能手机的相机质量已经令人怀疑，那么即使您花了很多钱，附加镜头也无法清理图像。 期望边缘周围具有相同的柔软细节，并在不需要的地方产生眩光或耀斑。
Adding to this, a smartphone camera is also bound by the core limitation of its sensor. The sensor ultimately governs image quality by limiting how much light can make it into a single exposure. Larger sensors, like those found on full-frame cameras, have much better native low-light performance. They also offer more overall detail, since a greater surface area is used to capture a scene.
除此之外，智能手机相机还受到其传感器核心限制的约束。 传感器最终通过限制可以使一次曝光的光量来控制图像质量。 较大的传感器(如全画幅相机中的传感器)具有更好的本机低光性能。 它们还提供了更多的整体细节，因为使用了更大的表面积来捕获场景。
Another drawback of lens add-ons is their size—some of the larger ones protrude significantly. Smartphones are often favored by street photographers due to their inconspicuous nature. If you slap a lens on the back of it, you lose the reason so many embrace smartphone-photography in the first place.
镜头附件的另一个缺点是其尺寸-一些较大的附件会明显突出。 由于智能手机不起眼的特性，它们经常受到街头摄影师的青睐。 如果您将镜头放在背面，您会失去很多人首先使用智能手机摄影的原因。
镜头附件有合法用途 (Lens Add-Ons Have Legitimate Uses)
By now, you’re probably thinking lens add-ons are a waste of time and money, but that’s not necessarily the case. It all depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
到目前为止，您可能会认为附加镜头浪费了时间和金钱，但事实并非一定如此。 这完全取决于您要实现的目标。
Cheap clip-on lenses are a lot of fun, and many of them are priced accordingly. You won’t be winning Wildlife Photographer of the Year, but you might snap some fun images you can look back on in years to come.
便宜的夹式镜头很有趣，而且其中许多价格都因此而定。 您不会获得年度最佳野生动物摄影师奖，但是您可能会拍摄一些有趣的图像，以备将来使用。
If you’re fond of the lo-fi aesthetic or own a Holga camera, you’ll probably love the inconsistencies you get from shooting with a cheap clip-on lens.
如果您喜欢低保真度美学或拥有Holga相机，则可能会喜欢使用廉价的夹式镜头拍摄时出现的不一致之处。
Apple has made a play to convince people they can shoot high quality film like videos on their phone.
苹果公司已经做出了努力，说服人们他们可以在手机上拍摄高质量的电影，例如视频。

Some smartphones and tablets (particularly the iPhone and iPad) are used for filmmaking. Entire indie films have been shot and produced with iPhones, while other filmmakers use tablets, like the iPad Pro, to capture B roll and cutaways. A broader range of focal lengths can only expand these horizons.
一些智能手机和平板电脑(尤其是iPhone和iPad )用于制片。 整个独立电影都是使用iPhone拍摄和制作的，而其他电影制作人则使用平板电脑(例如iPad Pro)来捕捉B卷和切角。 更大的焦距范围只能扩大这些视野。
This also applies to livestreaming—after all, there’s no easier way to broadcast video on the internet than with your smartphone.
这也适用于直播–毕竟，没有比使用智能手机更简单的方法来在Internet上播放视频。
你得到你所付出的 (You Get What You Pay for)
The cheapest lens add-ons are made from plastic. Because they aren’t glass like real lenses, images will be soft and glare will pose an issue. Plastic is also soft and tends to damage quite easily, which will further reduce image quality.
最便宜的镜头附件由塑料制成。 因为它们不是像真正的镜片那样的玻璃，所以图像会柔和，并且眩光会成为一个问题。 塑料也很软，并且很容易损坏，这将进一步降低图像质量。
Some of the cheapest lenses might even interfere with autofocus, especially if you’re trying to focus on a subject toward the edge of the frame. The image will always be sharpest in the middle. Plastic is also a bad choice for overall image quality, contrast, and color reproduction.
一些最便宜的镜头甚至可能会干扰自动对焦，尤其是当您尝试将焦点对准画面边缘时。 图像始终在中间最清晰。 对于整体图像质量，对比度和色彩还原而言，塑料也是不好的选择。
Amazon is full of cheap clip-on lens kits (like this one and this other one). They won’t provide amazing image quality, but you can get a variety of focal lengths to play with for as little as $10.
亚马逊到处都是便宜的夹式镜头套件(例如这套和另一套)。 它们不会提供惊人的图像质量，但您只需10美元即可获得各种焦距。
The more expensive lenses are made of glass and metal. The best will have little to no effect on image quality, while some of the midrange options might be a little soft, particularly around the edges. Systems with tailor-made cases ensure the lens won’t move around or slip, and ergonomic grips are designed with shooting in mind.
较昂贵的镜片由玻璃和金属制成。 最好的选择几乎不会影响图像质量，而某些中端选项可能会有些柔和，尤其是在边缘附近。 带有量身定制的表壳的系统可确保镜头不会移动或打滑，并且符合人体工学的手柄设计时考虑了拍摄。
One of the longest-running smartphone lens manufacturers is Olloclip. The company’s latest offerings also use high-quality glass and metal construction, but at a steeper price than previous products. A basic clip and lens will run you around $100, while a set of three lenses and a clip is just shy of $200.
运营时间最长的智能手机镜头制造商之一是Olloclip 。 该公司的最新产品还使用高质量的玻璃和金属结构，但价格比以前的产品要高。 一个基本的夹子和镜头大约要100美元，而一套三个镜头和一个夹子要不到200美元。
Arguably, the best lenses available for smartphones are made by Moment. They’re made of high-quality materials to ensure the best possible image quality. You’ll pay at least $70 per lens, with mounting brackets and cases costing more.
可以说，适用于智能手机的最佳镜头是Moment制造的。 它们由高质量的材料制成，以确保最佳的图像质量。 每个镜头至少需要支付70美元，安装支架和保护套的价格更高。
Perhaps the best solution is to use adapters for existing 35mm lenses, although they’re incredibly unwieldy when loaded up with anything larger than a simple kit lens. Since smartphones are light and thin, there’s nothing to counterbalance the heft of a full-size lens barrel. However, the image quality is unparalleled, and a tripod makes shooting much easier.
也许最好的解决方案是为现有的35mm镜头使用转接器，尽管在装入比简单套件镜头更大的镜头时它们非常笨拙。 由于智能手机既轻又薄，因此没有什么可以抵消全尺寸镜筒的重量。 但是，图像质量无与伦比，并且三脚架使拍摄更加轻松。
You can get an EnCinema SLR Lens Adapter Kit for between $80 and $300, depending on which mount and adapters you need. There’s also the Beastgrip iPhone rigging system that allows you to mount a range of lenses (including the smaller, purpose-built kind).
您可以购买EnCinema SLR镜头适配器套件，价格在80美元至300美元之间，具体取决于所需的安装座和适配器。 还有Beastgrip iPhone索具系统，可让您安装各种镜头(包括较小的专用镜头)。
These systems might belong in the pocket of someone who wants to use a smartphone for production work, livestreaming, gonzo journalism, or even independent filmmaking.
这些系统可能属于想要使用智能手机进行制作，直播，奇闻趣事甚至独立电影制作的人的腰包。
应用程序也可以提供巨大的好处 (Apps Can Provide Big Benefits, Too)
Sometimes, all you need to make your smartphone photography shine is the right app. A proper “manual” camera app that provides control over things like aperture (depth of field), ISO, and exposure time can yield great results if you know how to use it. You can learn to use your smartphone manually or, for even better results, how to shoot in RAW.
有时，使智能手机摄影大放异彩所需的只是合适的应用程序。 适当的“手动”相机应用程序可以控制光圈(景深)，ISO和曝光时间，如果您知道如何使用它，则可以产生很好的效果。 您可以学习手动使用智能手机，或者为了获得更好的效果，如何使用RAW拍摄。
Similarly, for filmmakers, apps like FiLMiC Pro (iOS, Android) can unlock the full potential of your camera in a way stock apps cannot. FiLMiC Pro can be used to control camera parameters manually, pull focus, record at higher-than-stock bitrates, set custom white balance, and more. These apps are cheap compared to the price of a fancy lens set.
同样，对于电影制作人而言，像FiLMiC Pro( iOS ， Android )之类的应用程序可以通过股票应用程序无法发挥的全部功能来释放相机的全部潜力。 FiLMiC Pro可用于手动控制相机参数，拉焦，以高于库存的比特率进行记录，设置自定义白平衡等等。 与花式镜头相比，这些应用便宜。
Finally, there’s also something to be said for using stock camera apps with built-in ultrawide lenses. Smartphones like the iPhone 11 apply image correction to remedy visual distortions introduced by wide focal lengths (like curved straight lines). This is another reason your device’s built-in lenses are almost always your best choice.
最后，使用内置超广角镜头的普通相机应用程序还需要说些什么。 诸如iPhone 11之类的智能手机应用图像校正来纠正因宽焦距(如弯曲的直线)而引起的视觉失真。 这是设备内置镜头几乎总是您最佳选择的另一个原因。
