A wide-angle lens fits more into each shot: a whole room, a group squeezed into a small space, a building from across the street, or a landscape with more sky and foreground. It is the most useful clip-on for a phone that has no ultra-wide camera of its own, and on a phone that has one it can take the view wider still.
The lenses in this range are two-in-ones: a 0.45x wide-angle lens with a small macro lens screwed onto its back. Used together they give the wide view. Unscrew the front and the part left on the clip is a macro, for close-ups of flowers, jewellery and small things. They have glass elements, one with an aluminium body and a coating to cut reflections, a universal clip that fits over the edge of most phones, and caps for both ends with a pouch to carry them. They come in several colours.
Keep the two parts together in the pouch, because the small macro is easy to lose. For a fisheye as well, look at fisheye phone lenses, where the three-in-one kits add one, or the larger phone lens kits.
A phone with several cameras on the back needs the clip-on lens over the one in use. Open the camera at 1x and cover each lens in turn with a fingertip: the one that darkens the screen is where the clip-on goes. If dark corners show, slide the clip until they clear. A thick case or a camera lens protector can hold the lens off the glass, so most clips work best with the case off.
Keep the phone level. Tilting a wide lens up or down makes buildings lean in or out, and straight lines near the edges bend a little on any wide lens. Wide lenses are sharpest in the middle, so put what matters in the centre and crop a little off the corners afterwards if they disappoint. If your phone has its own ultra-wide camera, try that first, and use the clip-on when you want to go wider.
It is how much the lens shrinks the picture: the lower the number, the wider the view. 0.45x takes in a good deal more than the phone's main camera alone.
The lens is slightly off-centre, or the phone has switched to a wider camera behind it. Slide the clip until the corners clear, and keep the zoom at 1x.
A thin case usually, a thick one often not, because it holds the lens away from the phone's glass. The guide to clip-on lenses and filters explains fitting.
