Do not use Camera Lens Protectors!

[MilesAboveTech]

For people who want that camera protectionwihtout sacrificing camera quality get a case with a camera cover that slides over the camera or a case with a nice raised lip!

People who are concerned by the song, The name of the song is darari by treasure and its sped up. And the "ni, ga" they are saying is "you" in korean.

Lens protector saved my camera on my iPhone 13 a few months ago when I tripped and fell on a rock with my whole bodyweight landing first on the iPhone in my pocket. The case had a raised lip around the camera module, which did nothing to prevent the small rock corner to pinch into my camera lens. The protector shattered but the lens was luckily fine

Optics Engineer here, I protect my camera lenses(UV Filter), … all of them, from Traditional Lenses to my 🍏 Pro Max($8 MagSafe Case). That said, I’ve seen Leica Summicron and Summilux/Zeiss Distagon, Planar, and a Vario Sonnar with heavily scratched front elements. A Vario Summicron with a cracked front element, and it only degraded on a pixel peeping level, with backlit situations. All that said, it’s a matter of resale value to me to keep all lenses protected. I’ve never noticed a protector decreasing photo quality, and if it did, I’d take it off and get a “new” one. I am from the generation where our grandmothers couch was plastic covered, and Carpet (YUCK!) had plastic walk ways!!!

When u accidentally drop ur phone, you’ll know how important it is lol

[alejandromelecio]

Micro scratches are a genuine concern especially if you're going to use your phone for a few years, which is true for most people. I haven't used a screen protector or lens protector for like a decade at this point, so I know your device is bound to get annoying micro scratches from just regular use going in and out of your pocket or bag. Screen and lens protectors just offer a better long term experience because you can always just remove them and the difference in quality is minimal and less then that of micro scratches

[alexsishc]

They don’t reduce quality. I work at an Apple repair store that also sells accessories. I apply these daily for customers and always check to make sure there’s no imperfections or reductions in quality after putting them on. We also have repeat customers (usually old people who have no grip) that love to tell me how it’s amazing that they don’t lose quality while taking pictures.

According to JerryRigEverything, iPhone lenses don't use sapphire. Stop capping. I'm going to keep my protector.

Dropped my 13 pro and the telephoto lens shattered. So I use one to stop any further damage

[mouaxiong]

It is perfectly okay to use lense protectors most of them makes a small difference. The unpure sapphire glass cracks easier because glass is glass and glass will break.. the harder the glass the more brittle. Using a camera lens the difference is so minimal that most consumers won't even know or care. It's perfectly fine.

After reading most of the comments, i certainly agree that it's necessary to add protection to your lens lol.

[Explxitly]

I disagree. Lol they barely affect the camera quality if you get a good quality lens protector. They’re literally a lifesaver.

if you think you’re useless, just remember this video exists

[mihneacireasa]

Literally one month after buying an iPhone 14 pro I dropped it and one camera cracked because of how insanely big the whole unit is. Get the lens protector and buy a DSLR if you want quality photos.

[ihatethescammys.loveyn.]

Nah fam, if it wasn’t for my protector, my camera would be done.

[EduardoGonzalez-fbjv]

I dont care
It looks cool and makes your iPhone lenses seem beefer, and are protected.
I have em on my 14 pro max

[vincentstriqe]

My coworker dropped his iphone 14 pro max 20 cm on flat cement, lense cracked on the rim

[tyrunnin]

i have one and it completely saved my camera. its currently cracked and im trying to take it off rn

[laina]

the song is in korean!!! it’s a korean word that means “you” spelled “네가“ look it up if you’re so unsure. the song is Darari by Treasure.

This is like the TikTok videos where random teenagers post blatantly incorrect information while attempting to appear like they actually know what the fuck they are talking about.
