anyone have thoughts on add on lenses?

[mopinko]

looking at them on amazon, and the prices are so low for some of them that i feel like they cant be worth shit.
reading reviews, and there are some good ones in the pack.

what i want the most is wide angle. doing some real estate stuff that i feel i need a wide angle for.
macro would be good for some of the stuff i post for my farm page.

tripod is good, as i am starting to get old age tremors sometimes.

anyone have any experience or thoughts?

9. really.

apple is just running on their own stink at this point.
if they dont get back out there on the bleeding edge, they will become the next wang.

2. I would like input on those also

They sound great...but....would like experience with advice

Edit: I assume the question was about the I Phone add-on lenses?

3. If the real estate images are just going up on web pages they should be okay ....

The expensive ones are needed if you're expecting to do high resolution art quality images. My friend that's doing real estate pics purchased a drone to do fly overs and video clip "tours" and they look great. Wide angle is really important and so widely used for RE images so definitely worth looking at to be competitive.

I'd buy something with loads of good ratings and test it right away and return it if it's not to your liking. That kit where they all store in a scope is about 150.0$ I think though? If you were ask going to do a lot of portrait and personal photography and print or display stuff it's great, but for pics of rooms, studying staging, lighting and composition and using a cheaper lens will be fine.

4. the only time they might be printed

is from my fb page. i have done those books that mine your page. my phone pics were fine, tho i have to admit that the ex's canon mark whatever it was are better. one of the few things i miss about him. lol. that and his cooking.

those books are fun. planning on doing another soon.

6. I think for images of rooms and homes the quality doesn't have to be that great...

Have you tried HD settings or whatever that thing is that gives them extra dimension? Sometimes it's all about trying different tsettings, playing with where you ask the camera to focus and stuff like that.

7. yeah, i mess around. it does panoramas, too.

so easily stitch a few pics together.
i just wanna have fun, is what it's really about.
