Why we made this
There's a distance between what iPhone zoom can do and what photographers actually need. Digital zoom closed the gap on paper. Optically, it never quite got there. We wanted glass that pulled distant subjects in with the same clarity, compression, and depth you'd expect from a dedicated camera. The 96mm is that glass. Up to 32x total reach, built for the iPhone already in your pocket.

See what others miss
Capture the moments that live beyond reach. The 96mm brings professional-grade optical zoom to iPhone and is built for the world you actually shoot in.
Low Light
Shoot in the Dark
The 96mm holds even when light drops. Multi-coated optics maximize light transmission and reduce flare, maintaining sharpness and contrast in the conditions where distance and darkness work against you.

FAQs

At 24MP the 32x still retains strong detail, but maximum resolution and clarity are achieved at 48MP and 16x.
Autofocus works normally when using the SANDMARC App. Stability becomes more important at higher magnification.
Not required, but recommended for maximum sharpness at longer distances, especially in lower light.
