The Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X were released last month and as you may have seen, DxO named the iPhone 8 as having the best smartphone camera they have tested to date. 

Because of this, the latest iPhones will no doubt be in demand for photographers. Here, we've put together a list of accessories for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, to enhance your photography experience with them:

Lens Adapters

We all know that the iPhone camera is excellent but there are times when you want to be able to fit more into the scene, or take a macro photo that you just can't get right in the frame. This is where additional lens adapters come in to play. These lenses simply clip over the existing camera, and give you the opportunity to photograph wide-angle scenes and macro images in-camera without having to use software.
