I've seen some hands on videos, but no stills have been really posted online just yet. I contacted Mobile Fun about any updates, and they stated it might ship before the 30th but there's no gurrantee. I'm hoping I'll have it sooner than rather later.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Yeah. I've seen those initial hands on from February. It's funny how nothing has happened since then and we're in May. I would need to see the quality of the image before buying it. There are tons of other lenses on the market that are cheaper and offer farther views and we know quality is degraded.... If the official lens kit is the same it'll be far over priced!

Well, I preordered mine. I hope it comes in a travel case to protect the lenses. Does anyone know if it will? You know, like those foam ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Yes it does, some people have hands on since it was released in Israel, and parts of Europe recently. The lenses have their own carrying hard case; I'll link the YT video below for you to have a look at.

The video isn't in English, so I can't help out there. I just watched it without sound.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
You rock! Thanks. I'm totally keeping. My pre-order. I'm traveling to Japan this summer again and this year I'll have my S7E with these lenses. The last time I went I had my handy dandy hand held camera and I tested the shots with this one and the S7E takes much better shots even when both were at 12 mpx! I'm such a nerd .... Haha even yesterday I picked up an LG G5 just to compare the cameras and I spent an hour this morning walking around taking tons of shots!

I'm the same way, between my Nexus 6P, S7 Edge, and DSLR I take ~1000 pictures a month. I have close to a terabyte of photos now that I don't have the time to go through.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Fantastic! I do think though that this hobby is getting too expensive. Lol. I've had far too many phones in the last few years!!! Hopefully this one will last a while especially with these lenses [emoji6] I just realized that light room had an android app! So I don't need to always have my surface pro on me! Superb.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I don't think you want to know how many phones, tablets, wearables, and other devices I've has in the past 18 months. ;) I have a SP4 as my laptop, but sonwtiems LR/PhotoShop CC 16 get bogged down even with an i7. I need to build a gaming computer around the new GTX1080 and I7 6950X if only I had 3-4k laying around to spend on it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Yeah. I have the i5 with 8gb ram and it's more than enough for a portable work station. I actually use it as my full PC during the week if I'm only editing word documents and PowerPoints and browsing the web. As soon as I need to edit videos I power up my desktop. Haha. I think we've come a long way in mobile computing but my then-state-of-the-art PC is still better than my SP4, but portability is key since I take it all over the place. Anyways, I run light room on it just fine but the fans come on as soon as I add a few filters... Lol. So for very light usage it's great, but for anything serious you need a desktop... But still, I'm very impressed at what it can do!

I love tech.... [emoji7]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I think part of the issue for me could be the Insider Preview images that Microsoft keeps forcing on me despite completely reinstalling windows to get rid of them. I have the i7/16GB ram model which is usually great, although it have been bogged down on more than one occasion. I use it as my full PC as well along with the Surface Dock, although I would like more computing power for when I need to run coding intensive applications like MATLAB, or Visual Studio becasue it can really slow things to a crawl.

I'm still hoping the lens cover will arrive before the end of the month, although I don't know what to expect at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Where are you located in the world? Amazon Spain, where I'm located, doesn't have an ETA... BUT online they say within a month for within Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm in the US, so I had to order it from Mobile Fun in Canada since they had it listed first. I don't think it's going to be offered in the US, so I took the chance buying it elsewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Onyok:
is it coming here to CONUS? And when?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] pogi.paul0119:
Getting excited to this accessory.. pretty slick.. would be waiting on ebay .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mpt123:
review pls

If any one used the lens cover case with two lens ...please share some pics with there impressions of it.

Does it really increase the quality of distant images and the quality of images in low light conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Just to let everyone know that there are sellers on Amazon Spain that are already shipping, and Samsung Spain is also stating that it is in stock :)

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Would you be willing to post the original photos? I'd love to see if there is a decrease in image quality or if the lens distorts the final image. You know, while I wait... Hehe. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I appreciate the heads up, but I don't want to pay ~$60-70 more for it from Spain. I only paid $117 from Mobile Fun which is much better for people in the US since there's no VAT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Of course of course. It was mostly to let Europeans who are reading this to know they they can start to get theirs.

I would order it directly from Samsung but I really like Amazon and their post sales support. They've never failed me yet! Totally makes the wait worth it if you ask me... [emoji7]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I hope so, Mobile Fun apparently isn't shipping until the end of the month still. It's too bad that no one is selling it state side for people here.

Hi, I meant if you could share the full sized 12 mpx image, not the mini version that appears here on the forum. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I found the camera lense case on eBay via a South Korean seller so I cancelled my MobileFun order and bought it from eBay. I paid for the fastest possible shipping $27 FedEx express international meaning it should be here early next week. I wanted to get it before my Birthday but that won't happen, at least I know when it will be here now.

The lens cover has shipped and will be here Tuesday according to FedEx
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Onyok:
Nice find! Can't wait for the review but is that really the MSRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
I have it coming on Tuesday also hopefully, got it from eBay in the UK
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
SamMobile canceled my eBay order.... I'm beyond pissed that they would cancel it for no reason

Edit

I'm going to try and order it elsewhere, stay tuned for more updates
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Another update, I managed to get them to uncancel the order after a lot of confusion (they canceled it for no good reason), I was able to reorder and have it ship. FedEx is showing a delivery date of tomorrow still since it left South Korea. Below is a screenshot showing the delivery date being tomorrow by 1030, so I'll post some preliminary pictures before I do a full write up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AzoNx:
I too really want to buy one of these. I love taking photos on my S7 edge. Looking forward to updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Double post
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It's in Alaska now and it cleared customs, so its on track to be here tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] PoisonWolf:
I really look forward to your analysis and thoughts of it. I hope bestbuy eventually carries it here in the USA. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I doubt it, I called Samsung USA, and they said it's not going to be stocked in the USA. They could be wrong (reps are usually clueless), but it would explain why there is not listing on the US version of their website/store. Mine left Alaska, and is enroute to the east coast now. I will post an unboxing video, as I mentioned along with some samples in full resolution while I write the full review.

I plan on doing a short hike tomorrow, so I will bring the lense case and take some pictures along the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
Guy's look what I just got delivered!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Nice, mines arriving today too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It arrived a few hours ago :D I'll post some stuff shortly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
Get snapping lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Already took a bunch of pictures, buts it's really windy out today so using the telephoto lens has been a challenge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
Look forward to seeing them in difficult scenarios :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Here are the samples I took today. I will post ever so brief unboxing I did too once I upload it.

Enjoy the many pictures of bees I took :)

Telephoto:

Wide Angle:

Let me know what you think!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
Looks good. Could you get any closer to the objects with focus staying correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
You can't focus at closer distances unfortunately unless you are using pro mode. The auto focus has issues with the telephoto lens when you get within a foot or so at times. I'll post some more I just took in the link below

Here are some more telephoto images:

They look good man
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'll post my preliminary thoughts on it tonight, then add my full review over there next day or so. I might do some night shots to see how they turn out. It's a typical gloomy summer day here (rains most of the summer), so its hard to get good pictures sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Here's a quick comparison of the phone with no lens, telephoto, and the wide angle.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
It's night time here haha. Sweet mate. Look forward to your review and hopefully it's worth the money. I shall get it if that's the case... ignore the pun. Hehe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I think it is worth it only if you really like taking pictures. I take around 1000 a month, so for me its worth it. I love the case, but I do wish the threaded section on the physical case was metal. I'm sure Samsung will replace it if there ever were to be an issue anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
You mean they'll make a metal case when they fancy more money? Hehe. OK I'll look into it. I deleted 6500 photos last week. I've had the phone for 2 weeks now. :/ oops
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
No, just metal threads on the case were the lens attached. I have at least a few hundred gb of pictures on my Google photos linked to drive now. I offload them every now and then when it exceeded 20gb on my SD card. The ones I take with my 6P stay on the phone and Google photos becuase it has 128gb of local storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
Can't argue with that. I'm yet to fill up my Google and cloud yet. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
OP Updated

-Preliminary review added with pictures, and additional details
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] theROMinator:
Considering ordering one. Did you choose the FedEx Express Saver shipping option?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I think that's what it was called. All I remember was paying $27 for it, but I can double check my order for you.

I just checked: It was the Express Saver option. It left South Korea Monday and arrived today which is faster than I thought
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Let me know what you think of the review so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Mine arrives tomorrow :D Yay! It also dropped about 20 euros from the pre-order, that's nice. Anyways, I'll be putting it through its paces this weekend. I can't wait! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
Fantastic and detailed review.

Thanks very much. I think I'll be buying. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Thank you, I took more pictures today that I will add along with some more comments about using the lens in general.

Edit:

I will do my best to post an update tomorrow (technically today) afternoon along with even more pictures assuming I hsve a chance to take them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
OK, I got mine. But honestly, it's a bit hard to attach the telescopic lens to make the two dots align. The wide angle lens is easy to align when the case is off the phone. But the telescopic is always short of it.

Also, do you notice any blurriness around the sides of the image? I do. But only around the telescopic lens - the wide angle is crisp 100% around the sides.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Cst79:
Image sharpness is way better than I was expecting. Looks like it's worth it ! Thanks for the review.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
This is a review I put up for a Universal lens set for my s7 edge. You can compare and see what you think.

-----------------------------------

I received this product in good packaging and am pleased with the results so far.

Wide Angle Lens -

It works a lot better than I expected. A slight curve on the edge but nothing too noticeable.

Before

After

Fisheye Lens

This works a treat.

Before

After

Macro Lens

With and without the phone zoom it really gets you b*lls deep into the image

Before

After without zoom

After with zoom

And now what you've been waiting for...

12x zoom lens

I found it to be a pretty good lens. It zooms very well with no loss in any quality. It is a little difficult to get the Focus stroller to move when it's on the phone and it adds a lot of unbalanced weight to the phone but it's a zoom lens. Expect it and you have to deal with it.

Got some good shots here they are.

Before (spot the pigeon)

After (without phone zoom)

I believe mine has metal threads on the case, check out my review below

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

How many lenses came with your case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
2 lenses and it came directly from a Samsung certified shop in South Korea so I know its legitimate. Can you take a picture of the threads so I don't have to watch video?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
The thread are painted in black so a photo won't show anything to be honest, but there are a couple of tiny marks on the thread which are silver like the paint has come off. Also when the lens thread hit's against the case thread it feels metallic and sounds like metal against metal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'll have to verify that on mine, but they feel plastic. I'm going to grab my x-acto knife and scratch them to see if they are metal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] alexericl:
found a special lens cover [IMG="Momax X-Lens Protective Case with 15X Macro+120° Wide-angle Optical Lens for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G9350"]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c1/c7/be/c1c7beca06a55988a2781e4582f41a77.jpg[/IMG]

it's called Momax X-Lens Case, special design, with 15X Macro+120° Wide-angle Optical Lens S7 Edge. no reviews yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I scratched the back of the thread insert and its plastic. It might appear slightly silver at first, but that's just how light was hitting it. Mine is 100% not metal unless that metal is a polymer that is soft like plastic :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
It cost quite a lot is it really worh it? I love the camera a lot and take lods of pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I think it is personally if you take a lot of pictures, and want the ability to take wide angle/'zoomed' in pictures without sacrificing image quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Personally I think it's worth it considering that I'm dropping from 16 to 12 mpx and zoom ability is lost. But with the telescopic lens it's far better than any 16 mpx and zooming!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Agreed, you can't beat a lense when it comes to zooming
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
I see i take lots of pictures and if quality ia gained and not lost then its sounds good. Thought i might get the note 6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It's not that quality is gained, you just don't need to use the horrible digital zoom which basically just crops the image; instead you get real zoom that doesn't affect there image quality
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
Ok and the wide lens are 135 degrees? Is there any blur? you don't lose quality at all do you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Did you see any of the pictures I linked so far? I will update the OP with my full review possibly tonight, but I've been fairly busy lately. I don't know how wide the wide angle lense is although I csn check Samsungs website.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
i did but i would like to see more if possible, macro too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The telephoto lens doesn't work any better for macro than the normal lense due to the way the S7 Edge focuses. You can't get any closer physically or via the lens which sucks, but its not a macro lens. Since the lens is meant for standard zoom not macro this is fine with me. I think some people (myself included) expected to be able to use it for macro but you can't anymore so than the stock set up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
ok so the wide angle and telephoto works well with no reduce in quality? overall it does seems to be a great investment, shame it won't fit on the Note 6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
i bought the kit :D how to u zoom in without cropping the pic?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The pictures don't seem to lose any quality, although with any lens (or no lens) the very edge of a photo always has the lowest quality. The same is true for DSLR cameras

Using the telephoto lens (I.e. zoom lens)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
thanks, ye i noticed that the right edge is a bit lower quality and blurry, as of now the wide angel seems to be fine and zoom lens too, i will check it more soon :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] skrapi:
So is it worth getting compared to the 3rd party lenses?

Wide angle.

12x zoom lens

Received mine today. First thoughts. I received the official Samsung protective lens cover case this morning.

https://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/05/25/samsung-galaxy-s7-official-protective-lens-cover/

My first impressions are live and I have been out snapping photos and comparing them with my LG G5 which will be posted tomorrow for comparison.

So far I'm impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Are you also getting a side that's blurry (only on the telescopic lens)?

View attachment 3761853
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gavinfabl:
I will test. I wouldn't find that a surprise though. Edging will occur and chromatic aborations.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
OK let me know. I don't know if it's something that's "normal" or if I should return it and get another one. Because it only occurs on this lens and not on the wide angle. But damn, I love not having to get closer! haha. I was able to get this awesome shot of my parrot today.

Under normal circumstances he would never let me get this close with my phone! So shots like these were only possible with a DSLR - now I can capture them with my phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
holy ****! i got the SAME parrot they actually look the SAME. will upload soon
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
Lol. I love parrots. He's my CAG! Such awesome animals.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] calinormy:
That's DOF. It's normal ....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
I'm sorry? What's DOF?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gavinfabl:
DOF - depth of field.

I've done another post on these lenses https://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/05/27/samsung-s7-s7-edge-protective-lens-cover-more-camera-samples/

Personally I love these, and the case the are attached too is superb.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] zkyevolved:
But that would make sense if it's on every edge. But as you can see it's only present on one edge. Do you also have this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gavinfabl:
That would still be caused by DOF.

My photos do have softening on edges, have a look at my samples to see if you agree!

Panoramic shot taken recently

<\axi6ne8us>[SM-G935T]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
after further testing, it's impressive the wide angle and the zoom but not so much, not worth 150$, 75-100$ at most maybe.

It does reduce photo quality at times and other it increases it a bit, using wide lens anyway, but it's hard to go back to normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That's how most lenses are, you can't expect DSLR quality from a $150 set of lenses for a phone. DSLR's can give you virtually no distortion, or issues at a steep price of course. I'm happy with the lense kit especially after eBay gave me $100 off my order due to an issue (they just told me after the fact without me even calling or asking for anything), so I effectively paid $20 for it and $27 for overnight shipping from South Korea. To me the ~$50 I paid even the original $130 is still well worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Derpling:
at that price u paid i wouldn't complain either, i guess the lenses are good afterall.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] 123freewill123:
Screen protection

Is there a screen protection that will work with the cover, as I will be using the lens cover mostly outdoor?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not trying to say they are perfect, but for a phone they are what I would call very good quality. The glass on the lenses looks nice, its just too bad that you can't add a filter to them or shade.

I use the Verizon plastic ones personally which fit fine with the case as you can see from the pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] PoisonWolf:
$100 off? Dang you got lucky. Lol. I'm finding it hard to justify spending close to $200 on this accessory. Meh. I guess I'll need to wait for a year or so before it comes down in price. :(
