Is there any point in purchasing an external macro lens in 2021, when phones like the Xiaomi Mi 11 & Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) come with their very own Built-In Tele-Macro lenses?
I've been using the built-in macro lens on the Xiaomi Mi 11 & Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) for about 2 months now and I've been obsessed! But before that, all I used was external macro lenses with all the phones I've tried. They're definitely my favorite accessory to use with smartphones.
NOTE: All iPhone shots you see are taken using the external macro lens
So in this video, I'm figuring out which is the best option to use! Find out with me :)
