Anamorphic 1.33x Mobile Lens | M-Series, Blue Flare
Our Review
Moment 1.33x Anamorphic Lens, Blue Flare — a cinema-grade look for client video work, straight from a phone
The gist: For a freelance videographer building a reel around iPhone-based production, this attaches real anamorphic glass to deliver a genuine 2.40:1 widescreen look with in-camera flares, instead of a cropped fake letterbox.
- Real optical compression: widens the field of view and adds natural depth and flare through actual glass, not a digital crop-and-stretch trick that shows up under scrutiny in a client review.
- Better low light for interior shoots: roughly 20% wider aperture than Moment's M-Series lenses helps in dim conference rooms, evening events, or interview setups with limited lighting.
- Blue Flare character: renders cooler, brighter streaks than the Gold Flare version — useful if a client's brand leans modern/tech rather than warm/nostalgic.
- Check compatibility first: M-Series lenses fit iPhone 13 and older only; iPhone 14 and newer require Moment's T-Series lenses, which use a different mount for larger sensors.
iPhoneFilmPro's hands-on review notes the lens "transformed" the reviewer's project with a "professional look," and flags it as well-suited to narrative filmmakers and interview shooters — exactly the kind of client work freelancers take on.
Best for: freelance videographers on an eligible iPhone who want an in-camera cinematic look for interviews or narrative client work. Skip it if: you're on iPhone 14 or newer — confirm you need the T-Series version instead before buying. Runs ~$25 — check the current price before buying.
