Maybe the iPhone 19 or 20 will go LOGIC? I'd consider upgrading if that was the case.... but with my 17 Pro I now have Prores and Apple Log, so the images now look like they're from a camera and not from a phone. -
I've ordered the Beastgrip 1.55x MK2 lens, and I also found an adapter that I can mount my Neewer 1.55x onto, so that will mean I can test it properly on various lenses. I have no idea which lenses these will work on, but combined with the 2x digital zoom of the GX85 or the continuous digital zoom of the GH7 any coverage issues should be able to be overcome. You'd think that cropping would make the FOV too narrow, but actually it's perfect because with a 1.55x stretch factor it makes lenses far wider, so cropping narrows them back up again, and cropping also lowers the resolution of the final image, but that's fine because we're interested in a flawed and character rendering, not clean soul-less images, so it's potentially an advantage. Given that coverage might be an issue, this might really suit the GoPro ILS as well.

Very clean results. I'm actually looking for a much less clean result, but with more character. In today's anamorphic world large clean sharp anamorphic lenses are becoming common, whereas large vintage anamorphics are mega-dollar collectors items or are being snapped up by rental houses and only available for hire. Dirty and compromised smartphone adapters might be the 'hack' that gets characterful images back into our hands, but in a cheap and compact package (thus this thread...).

The 1.55x has never looked this good on previous iPhone models. The adjustable aperture of the 18 Pro seems to make a huge difference in the overall detail and IQ. It also carries through on the video side and makes focusing much simpler. The 1.55x was always pretty dreamy wide open and is even moreso on the 18 Pro, since it has a faster lens. I have never tested it seriously on any of my other cameras, because it won’t cover full frame (whereas the 1.33x seems to if you find the right lens). But I suspect the 1.55x would actually work great on a M43 or APSC sensor. Here is another iPhone shot from this evening. There were a few raindrops on the lens, which created some interesting artifacts. -
