We just recently had a chance to go hands-on with SANDMARC’s Telephoto iPhone zoom lens (and loved every second of it by the way), and the brand is back today to take it way back with some vintage filmic vibes for your iPhone. While its latest releases in the iPhoneography space have focused on bringing distant subjects up close and personal, or bringing every water droplet on a blooming flower to life, its new Retro Filter for iPhone captures that classic, vintage vibe of yesteryear. And we have an exclusive deal down below so you can add it to your arsenal this summer at a discount.
SANDMARC debuts new Retro iPhone Lens Filter
The new SANDMARC Retro Filter is just that – a filter that attaches to the outside of the iPhone lens array to deliver that perfect skin-softening treatment and dramatic halo lighting effect experience many of us cherish in older films, or the sun-soaked wash of old home movies, and so on.
With a growing admiration for vintage aesthetics, we aimed to create a filter that enhances the iPhone camera’s ability to produce high-quality content with a nostalgic effect.
The filter is designed to deliver a vintage filmic look for every shot, be it photographs or video, by way of “instantly correcting overexposure, reducing surface glare, and smoothing out facial blemishes.” SANDMARC says in the daytime “the filter softens harsh sunlight, while at night, provides a dramatic halo effect around any light source.”
Check it out in action below:
The Retro iPhone Filter has two modes of use: strong mist for a “for a heightened filmic look” and soft mist for a “subtle touch of diffusion while utilizing the polarization effect.”
The new filter is compatible with all SANDMARC lenses and cases – I love the screw-on system its Pro Leather cases provide – but it also includes a clip so you don’t actually need to use it with its lens attachments or cases.
It ships with the following: Strong Mist Filter, Soft Mist Filter, Phone Clip Mount, and Filter Pouch and retails for $99.99. However, using our exclusive code, 9TO5TOYS, your total will drop down to $89.99 shipped – and SANDMARC gear almost never goes on sale (like literally once per year for two days).
