Wide 16mm II & 18mm Mobile Lens (T-Series), 16mm II
The classic wide that pulls you into the frame. The Moment Wide gives your phone one of the most storied wide angles in photography and filmmaking. Sitting between the width of your phone's built-in wide and ultra-wide cameras, it captures more of the scene without the harsh distortion or stretched edges of an ultra-wide. Straight lines stay straight, corners stay sharp, and proportions stay honest. The result is a grounded, expressive look with the kind of depth and character that's hard to get from native phone glass — ideal for landscapes, interiors, street, and environmental portraits, any time you want to show both the subject and the setting.
Our Review
Moment Wide 16mm II Lens — more headroom for talking-head video content
The gist: A wider mobile lens built for creators who shoot talking-head video for a personal brand or business and need more of the shot in frame without stepping back further than the room allows.
- 16mm vs 18mm: The extra two millimeters of width gives noticeably more room when filming close, handheld talking-head content — useful in a small home office.
- Rectilinear optics: Straight lines (bookshelves, desks, doorframes) stay straight instead of bowing like a cheap fisheye attachment.
- Controlled distortion: Delivers a natural field of view rather than the stretched, warped look of budget wide lenses.
- T-Series mount: Built on Moment's current, larger-glass lens platform for sharper results on modern phone sensors.
Fstoppers' review of Moment's wide-angle mobile lens called it one of the few phone-lens accessories that meaningfully improves image quality rather than being a novelty add-on.
Best for: Remote professionals filming talking-head content in a tight home office who want more of the frame without stepping back. Skip it if: you already have the 18mm — the difference matters most for close handheld shots, not general use. Runs ~$150 — check the current price before buying.
