I have never been a real photographer. The last time I owned a camera (not phone) was 10 years ago. Since smartphone became popular, I have always preferred using smartphones because it’s easier to carry around.

However, occasionally I do wish I had better gears, mostly lens. I recently moved from a big city to somewhere with more wildlifes, and I’m interested in shooting some bird photos, so I guess I need some good lens with zoom factor. Are there any phone accessories that will allow me to do this?

    Depends on conditions and what kind of birds but you’d need a pretty long lens (like in 300mm-600mm range), decent autofocus and enough image quality to resolve feather detail… it’s pretty tall order for a phone. I hear some people like Moment add-on lenses on their phones but I don’t think they make long telephoto lenses. Most of the long lens add-ons I’ve seen are of really questionable quality…
