SANDMARC Introduces the Tetraprism 72mm Lens for iPhone, Delivering 3x True Optical Magnification
San Diego, California, February 24, 2026 - SANDMARC, a brand specializing in premium products for photographers, filmmakers, and travelers, is launching the Tetraprism 72mm Lens for iPhone. Designed to extend the iPhone’s native zoom capabilities, this 3x optical zoom lens enables up to 24x zoom on iPhone 17 Pro models while maintaining true image quality and optical compression at longer distances.
Extended 72mm Reach
SANDMARC’s Tetraprism 72mm Lens is designed to enhance the iPhone’s tetraprism telephoto system, extending zoom capabilities up to 24x through added optical magnification. By introducing 3x optical magnification directly to the built-in zoom, it delivers optical compression, improved subject separation, and preserved image clarity. While image quality often decreases at higher digital zoom levels, the optical design helps maintain detail and sharpness for long-range shots.
Sharper Long Range Shots
Crafted from precision multi-element, multi-coated glass, the 72mm is designed to maintain high color accuracy, minimized flare, and sharp long-range rendering. Optical compression enhances layered landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and live event capture, delivering a more natural telephoto perspective.
Up to 24x Optical Zoom on 17 Pro Models
The Tetraprism 72mm Lens extends native zoom capabilities. It achieves up to 24x zoom on iPhone 17 Pro models and up to 15x on iPhone 16 Pro models and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The result is greater distance coverage with detail and depth that digital zoom alone cannot replicate.
