Olloclip has announced three new lens sets for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: the Core, Active and Macro Pro sets. An updated design features new premium multi-element optics, a new Connect interchangeable lens system and a hinged lens base keeping the lens flush with the camera for improved optical performance while allowing compatibility with most screen protectors.
NEW LENS SETS
Details of the three new lens sets include:
Core Lens Set
The new Core Lens Set includes multi-element Fisheye, Super-Wide and Macro 15x lenses:
- Fisheye -- Creative freedom through a unique near 180-degree spherical effect with endless possibilities.
- Super-Wide -- Advanced 4-element lens with more than 120-degree field of view to capture more landscapes and more friends.
- Macro 15x -- Transform the iPhone camera into a digital microscope with 15x magnification for the ultimate close-up.
Active Lens Set

Macro Pro Lens Set
The new Macro Pro Lens Set includes a Macro 7x, Macro 14x and Macro 21x. Six-element optics allow you to get extra close with edge-to-edge clarity, greater depth of field and less pincushion distortion. The InstaFocus hoods naturally collect and diffuse light.

Olloclip Announces Three All-New Lens Sets for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Featuring The Connect Interchangeable Lens System
An all-new design delivers new advanced multi-element optics and allow users to quickly create the perfect lens pairing
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- Olloclip has announced its newly designed mobile photography lens sets for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: the Core, Active and Macro Pro lens sets. The updated designs feature new premium multi-element optics, the new Connect interchangeable lens system and an innovative hinged lens base keeping the lens flush with the camera for improved optical performance while allowing compatibility with most screen protectors. This new design delivers premium optics in the simplest, quickest and most versatile mobile lens system ever created.
Adhering to Olloclip's legacy of superior optics, mobility, ease-of-use and ingenious functionality, this new design delivers even more advancements to versatility and speed.
New optics deliver best-in-class clarity
New premium multi-element coated glass optics are precision engineered to deliver crisp beautiful images with edge-to-edge clarity. Like lenses used on larger professional dSLR cameras, Olloclip lenses are designed to provide similar perspectives and are sized small enough to fit in a pocket, purse or hand.
Introducing the Connect interchangeable lens system
The new Connect interchangeable lens system maintains all the best features of its award-winning predecessor and is now equipped to quickly configure with other individual iPhone 7 Connect lenses. For the first time, there is now a lens that can be instantly adapted to your environment.
The patent-pending Connect system attaches and aligns instantly to both the front and rear cameras of iPhone with no extra parts required. Similar to the precision fit of over-ear headphones, the hinged lens base of the Connect system swivels independently and is designed to be screen protector friendly (up to .5mm), adapting to keep the lens flush with the camera for improved optical performance.
"Olloclip is committed to continually enhancing the mobile photography experience," said Patrick O'Neill, Olloclip founder. "That means giving full respect to mobility with no oversized, heavy lenses and paying strict attention to delivering beautiful photography with the simplest, quickest and most versatile user experience possible."
