NATIVE ZOOM VS. OUR LONG-REACH LENS

See the Telephoto Difference

Compare the detail and background compression at the same distance. We keep edges clean and subjects crisp—so your faraway moments actually look close.

Shot on 240mm

Works With Your Phone's Periscope Camera

Optimized around the iPhone’s periscope module, LensUltra 240mm Tele gives you predictable, razor-sharp tele results every time you choose 4×, 5× or even 8× on the new iPhone 17.

The optics are tuned to the true tele sensor for clean compression, fine detail, and minimal focus hunting—so framing stays consistent and your shots don’t drift into soft, digitally cropped look and plays perfectly with leading pro apps (Halide, Blackmagic, ProCamera, Filmic).

Clean Edges. Natural Compression. Real Detail.

Multi-layer coated glass ensures sharp detail, vibrant color, and reduced glare — even in bright light.

Pro Filters

Light is the raw material of photography — and these filters give you mastery over it. Each one is optically matched to the 240mm system to preserve edge-to-edge sharpness, eliminate vignetting, and unlock pro-level creative control.

Modular Macro Innovation

Four achromatic converters thread directly onto the 240mm LensUltra, turning it into a precision macro system. Instead of carrying bulky lenses, you simply stack converters to build magnification — from subtle textures at 10× to microscopic worlds at 40×. Clean, color-true detail without chromatic aberration, all in a pocket-sized system.

Choose Your Level of Close-Up

Stack our dedicated Macro Converters onto the 240mm Tele to choose how close you go—10× through 40×—while keeping a comfortable working distance. It’s true optical magnification with telephoto compression, so you capture fine detail without crowding the subject or casting shadows.*

Superior Sophistication

True image quality starts with glass—and we obsess over every element. From fluorite crystal used in key optics to matte-anodized and recycled aluminum housings, every LensUltra component is crafted with the same discipline found in professional lens systems. We don’t just design for mobile, we design for performance. When it comes to clarity, color, and control, every detail matters.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is the 240 mm lens?

A precision smartphone lens that sits over your phone’s telephoto camera to give tight framing from far away with natural background compression.

Is the 240mm Tele compatible with all smartphone models?

Yes. LensUltra 240mm Super Zoom Tele work seamlessly with a broad array of smartphones across brands and models.

We recommended phone models with Tele Camera atleast 4x (iPhone 17) and 5x (iPhone 15/16).
Lower Tele Cameras (3x and below) can still use the 240mm but might experience some vignetting.

What do I need to mount it, and how do I align it?

To mount the 240mm Tele, use an S-Mount Case (iPhone & available Android Cases) or the Universal S-Mount (other phones).

On Camera Cases:

  1. Locate the Telephoto lens on the case, marked T.
  2. Attached the 240mm Super Zoom Tele on to the mount marked T.
  3. Use a 3rd party camera app to activate your 5x lens.
  4. Now you can see and use the 240mm Super Zoom lens.

Quick steps (Universal S-Mount):

  1. In your camera app, switch to to identify the telephoto.
  2. If you're stuck, you can cover the camera lens 1 by 1 to identify which is the telephoto lens.
  3. Place the mount over that lens (not the 1× main), tighten.
  4. See dark corners? Nudge the mount slightly, re-tighten, and check again.
Which camera apps should I use (and why not just the built-in app)?

Some stock apps auto-switch cameras. Use an app that lets you lock Tele/5×:

  • Blackmagic Camera (iOS/Android): choose Tele/5× before recording.
  • ProCamera / ProCam (iOS): select Tele and keep it locked. (Alternatives: Halide, Lightroom camera on iOS.)

Tip for iPhone: enable Macro Control in Settings so you can turn macro off when the icon appears at close range.

Do I need a tripod?

Handheld is possible, but at 240 mm small movements are magnified. For sharpest results, use a tripod/monopod or a firm grip like ProGrip.

Where can I shop Macro/Filter Add-Ons?

Congratulations! It's time to turn your 240mm Super Zoom Lens into a powerhouse with Filter/Macro Add-Ons.

You can shop them here.

How do the Macro Adapters work (and can I stack them)?

Screw a Macro Adapter on top of the 240 mm lens to turn it into a long-range macro. Working distances: 0.5m, 0.25m 0.16m & 0.1m (closer = higher magnification).

You can stack—start with the longer distance, then add closer ones, checking the preview for a clean image. (Adapters are designed to be used with the 240 mm lens.)

What is the thread size for Filters & Add-Ons?

The screw thread size for 240mm add-ons such as Filters and Macro are m37.
