How we ranked these

This is a tier list, not a strict spec sort. Optical range comes first, then mount type and phone compatibility, then warranty, then price. Every figure comes from the maker’s own official product page, and every price is the maker’s own store price in USD. Moment, SANDMARC and ShiftCam lenses need a matching case or mount; NEEWER and Ulanzi lenses use a 17mm lens clip. Some well-known brands were left out because they could not be verified on an official page: Olloclip’s official store lists no products, the Apexel and Xenvo Pro sites did not load for our check, and NEEWER’s macro, fisheye and anamorphic phone lens pages were showing as sold out, so the SANDMARC Macro 100mm and the ShiftCam P.Series 60mm Telephoto took those slots. Check your own phone model on each maker’s page before buying. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
