Hi!

I am currently doing some photography/videos with my iPhone SE on my Kowa scope, but was wondering if anyone has experienced some of the latest iterations of cameras? I was looking at some rumored specs of the iPhone 15 coming out…. Thr bigger pro model (plus) has a longer telephoto. Would this be useful? Thanks!
 
One issue with multi lens phones is getting the phone to use only one lens and knowing my which one. I use “portrait mode” on mine, fixing the lens, but letting me switch 1x/3x. Can be hard to tell if things are focussed on a small screen, you and the phone trying to adjust things. Things have moved on since the SE, but you don’t necessarily need the latest. If you do change then do post your findings. I trust you have a phone adapter that you are happy with?

Thanks for the reply, I do use an adapter. The SE is nice in terms of quality but some better resolution and low light performance would be nice. If I do upgrade I’ll post some impressions!
