Best phone camera filter for reef pictures.

[Reefbuds]

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas first off. Wondering what you guys use as a filter for your cameras? Looking to get a filter for my phone camera for reef pics. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay a TON either. Just a decent little filter to get the job done, nothing professional. Thanks!

Not sure this is the best, but very inexpensive and works well. See example photo below using this lens on my iPhone of my aquarium.

This looks like a good option, thanks. My Iphone photos always turn out too blue.

I use the IceCap macro lens kit.

Oh wow these look great, exactly what I'm looking for. Just wasn't sure which ones actually work, as there is quite a few choices on amazon

What is that teal coral in the middle on the glass? Is that a monti cap?

Sorry to highjack!

For those of you using the Orphek and similar clip-on filters, which filter color do you use most for blue lighting -- yellow filter or orange filter, or does it matter much?

Sorry the one on the glass is a cyphastrea of some kind.

I have a reefing art lens kit from amazon that worked amazing for my galaxy s9+ but now i have the biggest camera on earth attached to my phone (galaxy s21 ultra) i purchased the Orphek clip on wide lens kit from amazon.

I must say, the orphek kit comes with only the 15k, 20k, CPL and macro lens but this is by far the only filters youll need. (The reefing art comes with a couple more graduated color yellow and orange lenses i never use)

Cheers!

I use Orphek, and lately have been using the orange and yellow stacked together. But generally orange will probably be better if your lighting is very blue.

I haven't figured that out yet. You can combine multiple lenses with the orphek. I usually put the yellow shed orange together with or without the macro lens.

I actually have the s21 ultra as well and was worried about most filters not fitting. This is great info, thanks!

Thats it
I would highly recommend it as anything smaller will make your phone start switching between cameras and changes color.
I almost prefer my old phone haha.
It took bomb photos.

I have the orphek and coralvue and the orphek looks way more natural to me.
