Moment has introduced its latest smartphone camera lenses, which it is calling the T-Series. While the company plans to continue selling its M-Series lenses, the T-Series brings several upgrades that are aimed at accommodating the general trend towards larger camera sensors. The new T-Series lenses add 25 percent more glass, a 20 percent larger aperture, an additional lens element, and a larger bayonet interface to help accommodate a wider variety of phones including iPhones and phones from a variety of Android phones OEMs. This change is also aimed at accommodating smartphones with sensor shift stabilization.
Moment says that the T-Series lenses have increased resolution thanks to higher modulation transfer function (MTF) scores. A higher MTF means that the lens is able to better resolve details and transmit contrast, which should naturally lead to more pleasing images that approximate a dedicated camera. The company says that this approach was necessary to get the most out of the higher resolution sensors hitting the market. In all, the T-Series comprises six new lenses: a 58mm tele ($150) ; an 18mm wide lens $130); a 14mm fisheye lens ($120); a 10x macro lens ($120); a 1.55x anamorphic lens available with the option of gold or blue flares ($150), and a 1.33x anamorphic lens also available with the option of gold or blue flares ($150).
Moment also makes cases that include drop-in lens mounts for the iPhone 14 series, although it appears to have stopped making similar cases for the latest Android phones. Android phone users can still use the Moment T-Series lenses with their devices but will need to purchase the T-Series universal lens mount ($30). Moment expects the T-Series lenses and universal lens mount to work with all iPhone 13 and 14 models including the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro models and newer, along with the Galaxy S24 Ultra launching early next year.
Purchase the Moment M-Series 58mm tele lens currently reduced by $40 for just $110 on Amazon.
I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
