From insects and flowers to products, capturing fine details adds a striking sense of awe to your photos. While the iPhone’s built-in macro mode does a good job, attaching an external lens takes your shots to the next level. With SANDMARC lenses, you can explore both macro and micro perspectives. In this blog, we’ll break down their differences so you can confidently choose the lens that best fits your photography or filmmaking style.

The Macro Lens is perfect for photographers and filmmakers capturing products, insects, flowers, and other natural details. It enhances every close-up shot with stunning clarity and a smooth, natural bokeh. Compared to the Microscope Lens, it is a better everyday lens.

Advantages:

The Microscope Lens goes beyond the limits of the human eye, unlocking an entirely new level of detail for your shots. Perfect for capturing fabrics, insects, liquids, and intricate textures, it’s a must-have for showcasing products with unique qualities or creating striking, science-inspired imagery. The lens features a built-in light to illuminate your subject, ensuring every detail is bright and clear.

Advantages:

The photos demonstrate a flower and how each lens highlights different aspects of it. The Macro Lens captures the flower as a whole with sharp clarity up close, while the Microscope Lens reveals the intricate details of the pollen.

Both the Macro and Microscope Lenses unlock creative possibilities for photographers and filmmakers. While each delivers unique results, your choice comes down to your vision. The Macro Lens is ideal for everyday close-ups with stunning clarity, while the Microscope Lens is designed for those who want to explore ultra-detailed, niche imagery.
