I recently took a look at the Xenvo "Ultimate Smartphone Lens Kit," an add-on system designed to enhance your phone's camera capabilities. I purchased this myself; it wasn't sent to me, and I wanted to share my experiences using it. The kit aims to give you both wider angle shots and detailed macro photos using a clip-on lens system. Let's see what's included and how well it works.

Let's take a look at the Canon EOS M6 Mark II camera paired with a very unique lens: the Rockstar 10mm F/8 fisheye. This thing is super compact, often called a pancake lens, but the catch is it's manual focus and fixed aperture. I actually recorded this footage way back in 2022, and I just got around to creating a video from it. Looking back at the photos, I have to say I'm actually very impressed with what this lens can do.

The Nikon Z5ii was announced recently. I haven't actually used this new camera myself, so keep that in mind. This is going to be mostly me looking at the specs and comparing it to the original Nikon Z5, which I've been using for a few years now.

Overall, the original Z5 isn't a bad camera. I've gotten it to a point where it works how I want it to and it's reliable for what I do.  My main use case is often anime and comic conventions, going there and taking photos of people in cosplay. I usually use the 40mm f/2 lens on the Z5, and it works well for that.  First-person view using the Nikon Z5 at an anime convention. Ni...
