Ditch the conventional distorted ultra-wide snaps from your phone and embrace a panoramic 100-degree view that still feels authentic and undistorted. The secret? A meticulous 6-element HD glass design tailored specifically for modern phone apertures. This ensures you can capture twice the scene with a flatter, richer perspective—even when lighting isn’t optimal.
The brilliance of the 18mm focal length lies in its adaptability. It's the ideal lens for expansive landscapes, intricate cityscapes, and majestic architecture. Yet, its magic doesn’t stop there. Dive into group photos, intimate interiors, evocative street photography, or dynamic vlogging easily. The 18mm allows for pronounced foreground depth and a broader range, making it an unparalleled ally for photographers and filmmakers. It's not just a lens; it's your versatile photographic companion.
For a visual illustration, refer to the images provided below.
- f/1.8 aperture on the iPhone's wide-angle lens, giving you more range (shown right).
- f/2.4 aperture on the iPhone's ultra-wide, resulting in less range (shown left).
It’s the Go-To Lens
...& Capture 2x More Picture
Mounting the lens is as straightforward as lining up the white markings on your lens and the case and turning it clockwise. To remove it, twist in the opposite direction — it's that effortless, precisely what you need when creating content with your phone.
The Moment Wide 18mm lens is a remarkable accessory that enables you to capture more from a confined space and extends beyond the typical wide setting of your smartphone. It's ideal for photographing tight spaces or snapping the perfect interior shot. However, its true strength lies in vlogging. Having personally used it to create YouTube content on location for Moment videos, our team can vouch that the Moment Wide 18mm truly immerses viewers in the experience. This lens empowers you to vlog without the burden of a bulky camera, offering a vast field of view that perfectly captures you and your surroundings easily.

Versatile, Even In Low Light
Made for the everyday photographer and filmmaker and those capturing landscapes, interiors, kids, and tabletop scenes. Get a tabletop shot of your brunch table without standing on a chair. Capture the entire sunset from the top of your hike, not just part of it — or document kids and pets without backing up and missing the moment in the process.
As we’ve said for the 100th time in a row — this lens is the best go-to for first-time Moment users and we mean it. Users can confidently capture complete subjects in the frame because the wide angle is 2x as wide with zero distortion. The build makes it on par with your big camera’s 18mm lens, marking this bad boy as your next DSLR killer... as TechCrunch puts it.
Using the Moment 18mm Wide lens over a phone's standard camera is a game-changer for enhancing image quality, especially in low light conditions. In photography, aperture refers to the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera body. It's often measured in "f-stops" such as f/2.8, f/4, etc. A smaller f-stop number denotes a wider aperture, which allows more light to enter the camera. Conversely, a larger f-stop number indicates a narrower aperture. Placing the Moment 18mm Wide lens over your phone's camera effectively increases the lens's width. A wider lens can gather more light, which inherently boosts the aperture. With the Moment lens, this means you're working with a wider aperture than the phone's standard camera alone.
