Editor's note: these lenses are compatible with Android as well! I personally use an iPhone, so all of my experience is Apple-based, but Android users have total access to T-Series, too. On that note - which lens are you going to pick up?!
There is no Moment app on Android. I'm not sure how they plan on handling the focusing issue. Would be lame to continue to push Filmic pro on Amsroid now that it requires a subscription.
Moment needs to be fair with their customer. Why didn't they talk about the manual focus on their video or on websites. I'm trying to love their product, but lately their reputation and attitude towards their customer is the worst.
To be fair, Moment does talk about the manual focus component of the Tele lens on their website! That’s where I learned about it in the first place. It’s in their “getting started” guide if you want to check it out for yourself! They just recommend using manual focus for tack sharp portraits on Tele lens specifically. Autofocus works great on the other lenses I tested!
@@StevenSchultz Thanks for your reply. I still think they should have made those claims in their videos and on their page for a 58mm lens. I understand how modern-day mobile tele lens all struggle with auto-focus, but I feel like every time they release a new product they try to hide those imperfections. They still make you believe there's no vignetting on the m-series lens with iPhone 14, they don't talk about the manual focus. I used to love their videos, but they are just not honest with their customers.
I love the excitement of the new lens, I'm just not happy that it is not compatible with my small rig and moment cases, I feel like I have to buy a whole new system when I already have the 18mm the 58mm 60mm and the anamorphic lens, it'll cost me a fortune to replace all those in the T-series T_T
Boy oh boy - Moment should read these comments. Looks like lots of people a skeptical of Moment products now. Too bad, they were trail blazers once but now they are playing catch-up. Manual focus only? You have got to be kidding me.
I don’t believe that is true. According to the posts here, manual focus works better than AF for closeups with the telephoto lens. Landscapes can use auto-focus. It seems to apply to one lens in one use case. It’s hardly a blanket statement of capability as you imply.
To be honest, I can't speak to that because the mount attachment I got was pre-production and not very refined. It was sturdy, but I'm very interested to see what the final production mount feels like. Thanks for watching!
Does this mean they can't be used effectively with AF either photo or video? Are they MANUAL lenses only (for sharp images) or is this something only the preproduction lenses lack?
The only lens Moment recommends using manual focus with is the Tele 58mm for stills! Autofocus on the other lenses worked great for photo, didn’t try video. The Tele seemed to autofocus fine for landscapes, but manual focus was better for close portraits to get exact focus on the subject’s eye.
I feel main problem of this lens - native camera doesn't work. And focus is not the only problem - native camera too smart and continually toggles between cameras in the background attempting to find most suitable one per scene and becomes unusable because lens covers other cameras on phone. After all I hope at some point we will have native camera support or even native phone camera lens mount someday. I've got some chineese 65mm for 25$ it's a bit soft, but it actually can normalise oversharpened iphone camera look and not that expensive as 150$ moment lens.
I’ve preordered 4 lenses (58mm,18mm, fisheye,x10 macro) and would’ve bought the M series had I not done research on the lenses performance on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Benefit of doubt at the beginning but once they know there should’ve been a notice on the product of defects due to the larger sensors. As for the compliments regarding focus, yeah folks use the software to run the hardware not a new concept.
Ordered my t series 58 - can’t wait to get it! Also, I just moved to Chicago a month ago and have been looking for a new hairdresser for men, your hair is similar to mine, where do you go get your hair cut?! 😅
Why I will NEVER do business with Moment again. I ordered the newest T-Series case, drop in mount and anamorphic lens for my iPhone 15 pro max only to pay and find out that Moment couldn’t fulfill the order. The lens was now on back order for like 2 weeks. So they shipped the case and mount. The case is extremely cheap! Well not in price as they charge $40 for the POs case and $5 more for the cheap ass plastic drop in mount! When it came time for them to ship the lens as the order stated they said they didn’t have any lens yet and hoped it would ship the following month. That didn’t work for me and I asked for a full refund. They refunded the lens and then sent me the return email for the case and mount. Now it says they are charging me $10 to return something I never opened or used! On top of that you have to print their return label and packing slip! $10 to return something I never used and on top of that I have to pay to print out a return label. Not because I didn’t want it but because Moment couldn’t fulfill the order I paid for. Welp, that will definitely make me never purchase anything from Moment again.
In short, these lenses are redesigned with new, better glass to render sharper and more detailed images from the latest phone camera sensors! All of the detailed info from Moment is linked in the description of this video!
The lenses I tested were all pre-production - the final production copies will have better coatings to reduce flare! Curious to see the difference when they ship. Thanks for watching!
@@StevenSchultz Moment lenses have always been a no go for me because when you shoot them towards any bright light source they fail. If you do review the final product, don't give them a pass on what has always been their problem :)
I wanted to get one of the lenses but there’s so many I don’t know what to get. I have an Iphone12 and wanted to use it to create content using my phone. So should I buy a case & lens? How is can I set up? Thank you!.
Hi Nicole! If you have an iPhone 12, I would recommend look at the Moment M-Series lenses and cases. These new T-Series lenses are optimized for newer phone sensors (iPhone 14 & beyond), and the M-Series lenses and cases are better suited for your phone. Hope that helps!!
I am glad that i sold my M-Series off months ago. Had it on my 12 Pro, they were awfull actually. The anamorphic was kinda cool but thats it. Everything else was super soft
So it's a new mount. But why exactly? I havent seen any explanation anywhere as to why a new mount is needed? This just looks like the M-Mount lenses aren't selling well enough anymore?
Old lenses produce blurry images on the iphone 14 pro phones which has larger sensor sizez. That's why they upgrade they lens lineup with larger diameter to improve them optically.
@@i24p71 Does this mean that the difference would really only be visible on a phone like the iPhone 14 because of the sensor size, and not noticeable on a previous model, such as the 13 Pro Max?
@@SynthAir On my iphone 13 pro image was sharp, without noticiible vignetting. But here what I received from moment: Here’s what you need to know; The T-Series Lenses work on phones made after 2022.

Going to pick up the Tele one for my Pixel 8

@NizarNoor might want to contact Moment. I think these require a new case. I'm not sure if they would release a case for the 8.
I’m guessing manually focusing with other apps that allow it should work to, right?

All the things aside I enjoyed your content. Your photo made me want to purchase this lens a lot. A lot more than their marketing team did!!!!
Okay, yeah the personality on this is the best. Love it. Also so sorry about the nose shot
I was about to say the same thing - love the energy in this. Keep up the great work!

Dude this video is incredible!! Such a fun day hahahah
Oh man what a fun vid. Great shots too! (And what a fun end clip 😂)
Hahaha thanks so much, Jackson!! Gotta embarrass myself a little bit at the end there 😂
The trailer definitely enticed me, but seeing your images sealed the deal. Gonna have to cop one of these lenses!
So glad you liked the video and images! Thanks for watching!! 😊
Tell me abt the sides blur on M series 1.55x exists on "T series 1.55x" ?
Is it fixed on t series ?
Do we hav orange color flares or blue and gold ?

Is the bayonet mount attachment any stronger than the previous version? I burn through those universal mounts way too often
To be honest, I can't speak to that because the mount attachment I got was pre-production and not very refined. It was sturdy, but I'm very interested to see what the final production mount feels like. Thanks for watching!
do you know if they're heavier / I'd assume so because of the extra glass
Does this mean they can't be used effectively with AF either photo or video? Are they MANUAL lenses only (for sharp images) or is this something only the preproduction lenses lack?

Do I need iPhone 14 pro produce amazing images
I wonder if these will work woth thr Freewell cases for the Samsung S23
I am glad that i sold my M-Series off months ago. Had it on my 12 Pro, they were awfull actually. The anamorphic was kinda cool but thats it. Everything else was super soft
Does the 58mm on the 'standard camera' of the iphone pro increase the minimum focus distance?
So it's a new mount. But why exactly? I havent seen any explanation anywhere as to why a new mount is needed? This just looks like the M-Mount lenses aren't selling well enough anymore?

Here’s what you need to know;
The T-Series Lenses work on phones made after 2022.
Such as the iPhone 13/14, Pixel 7, or Samsung S23
If you’re using a previous-generation phone, check out our M-Series lenses
To attach the lenses to your phone you have two options;
Moment Case + Drop-in Lens Mounts
We have Moment Cases for tons of phones
For T-Series, there are drop-in lens mounts for the iPhone 13 & 14 models. M-Series we go all the way back to iPhone 7.
T-Series iPhone 13 Drop in Mounts
T-Series iPhone 14 Drop in Mounts
For other devices, we’d recommend a T-Series Universal Lens Mount
I don't understand why they aren't supporting the Samsung S23 series, opting to start with the S24 when it comes to cases.
