iPhone 17 Pro with Moment Lenses | Compatibility & Example Images

You asked, we answered. Here's a detailed breakdown of how each of our mobile lenses work with the iPhone 17 Pro camera.

First Impressions

I’m Carlie, and I help run design (among a few other things) here at Moment. I’ve been on the team nearly seven years, and this September feels like one of our biggest yet — Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro just dropped, and we launched a fully redesigned Moment Pro Camera app. Naturally, I had to test both in the best way I know how: by hitting the trail. No pixel-peeping, no studio lights — just me, my phone gear, and my trail runners.

How do our lenses hold up against Apple’s upgraded cameras, the new 8x zoom, and everything else packed into the 17 Pro? As someone who prefers traveling light with just my phone, this was the ultimate test to see if Moment lenses still earn a place in my rotation.

Before we dive too deep, two lenses stood out immediately: the Macro 10x and the Fisheye 14mm. Our Macro still beats the iPhone’s built-in version by a mile, and the Fisheye delivers a perspective you simply can’t get with just the phone. Both had me seeing an old favorite trail in an entirely new way.

But what about the rest of the lineup? With the iPhone’s cameras getting better every year, what’s the benefit of Moment lenses in 2025? Here’s the full rundown.

1. Tele 58mm

The Tele 58mm is still the lens I reach for first, especially when shooting landscapes. It’s a best-seller for a reason: solid in the hand, sharp in the center, and with glass that feels more like a “real” lens than a phone accessory.

For me, the Tele is all about the look. Not necessarily about zooming in (the iPhone 17 Pro already has an improved 8x equivalent), but about the bokeh, depth, and character it gives an image. It takes the clinical sharpness of the iPhone and softens it into something more cinematic; almost like putting a vintage lens on a modern mirrorless. As someone who dislikes the crisp, HDR-y look of newer iPhone photos, the Tele gives my images the depth I’m craving.

Focusing can take a little practice, but the Moment Pro Camera App makes manual focus adjustments easy with its precision dial. I did notice some slight roll-off around the edges in wide landscape shots, especially when the frame is surrounded by trees or has messy borders, but the frames that hit are my absolute favorites.

2. Fisheye 14mm

The Fisheye is pure fun. It’s one of those perspectives the iPhone still doesn’t quite nail on its own. Especially in low light, where you’d otherwise be stuck using the phone’s native ultra-wide .5 lens (which I still can’t get behind).

What I love about Moment lenses is how they preserve the quality of the native 1x camera while bending it into something new. With the Fisheye, that means a crystal-clear, ultra-wide look that feels expansive without being distorted. I’ve leaned on it for city walks when I want to exaggerate architecture, and for goofy self-portraits when I don’t have a tripod. It’s not an everyday lens, but when you want to shift perspective and make an image feel alive, nothing else really compares.

3. Macro 10x and Macro 75mm

Macro is where phone photography gets weird in the best way. These lenses are made for details: tiny flora, textures, and the little side quests you find along the trail. In Oregon, I used them to get right up close to moss, wildflowers, and insects I’d normally never capture. And the difference compared to the iPhone’s built-in macro is truly night and day. With Moment, you’re getting true macro, not the annoying digital zoom that flips between lenses as soon as you cross the one-inch mark.

They’re some of the sharpest glass we make and arguably the ones I trust to stick around for decades, no matter how good phone cameras get. The 75mm is a favorite for close-up product shots, giving you that creamy background blur that feels more mirrorless than mobile, while the Macro 10x includes a diffuser hood that softens shadows and adds polish to anything you shoot.

If you’re into macro photography or video, these are hard to beat.

4. Wide 18mm

Wider than the iPhone’s native 24mm but not as extreme as the 13mm ultra-wide, the 18mm hits a sweet spot when mounted on the 48MP main camera, grabbing more of the scene without sacrificing good sharpness or light.

It’s not super flashy or groundbreaking compared to what the iPhone 17 Pro already offers, but that’s almost exactly the point. This is the underdog most people overlook, yet it consistently outperforms the built-in ultra-wide in low light, which tends to warp edges and struggle at night. Our 18mm, on the other hand, delivers clean, balanced frames that feel intentional. It meets a happy middle-ground between the .5 and the 1x that still reins true on the 17 model, no iPhone has updated to meet this 18mm social length quite yet.

I also see this lens becoming a go-to for iPhone Air users who don’t have Apple’s ultra-wide option. Mount it over the standard 1x lens and you’ve got the perspective you’re missing.

5.) Anamorphic 1.33x and Anamorphic 1.55x

Anamorphic lenses are ideally suited to filmmakers who want a POV that can't be achieved with a phone. Apple has yet to make an Anamorphic lens, so we'll happily fill those shoes in the meantime.

Our Anamorphic lenses come in either Blue or Gold flares, and in 1.33x or 1.55x ratios. They offer a super-wide cinematic screen with true blacks and yummy flares when filming with direct light sources. It naturally compressed the image to what is traditionally seen on big screens, but on the phone. Your home movies just got a lot cooler.

The iPhone 17 Pro's latest video enhancements, coupled with these lenses, are stellar. I may be biased, but these are the highest-quality lenses I've seen on the market in the mobile video space.
