I’ve begrudgingly come to accept that smartphones are now as good as DSLRs and mirrorless camera for many kinds of everyday photography, but they can’t compete when it comes to lens choices. You’re stuck with whatever field of view your phone came with, limiting the versatility of your gear. Companies like Moment have tried to mitigate this problem by making add-on lenses and compatible cases for various smartphones.
