NEEWER LS-30 18mm APS-C

The NEEWER 2-in-1 is a macro monster for the G7X III, but the wide angle is just a bonus. If macro is your thing, it's a steal.

The macro performance is the headline. We're talking 99th percentile for macro, which means it's one of the best we've seen for this type of accessory. The 10x magnification with the extension tube is no joke, and the multi-layer nano coating keeps colors accurate. The wide angle is less exciting, dropping the effective focal length from 24mm to 18mm, but it's not as sharp and introduces some distortion. Stabilization is solid, but since it's manual focus only, you'll need steady hands. Build quality is average, with a plastic feel despite the aluminum alloy claim.

Compared to real lenses like the Nikon Z DX 16-50mm or Sony 16-50mm, this isn't even in the same category. Those are proper lenses with autofocus and zoom. But they're not for the G7X III. The only real competitors are other clip-on lenses, and this one stands out for macro. If you need a wide angle for a G7X, this is one of the few options, but it's not great. For macro, nothing else comes close.

At around $80, it's a steal if you're into macro. A dedicated macro lens for a compact camera would cost way more. But if you only want wide angle, you're better off with a different solution. For macro, it's a no-brainer.

This is a clip-on lens for the Canon G7X Mark III, and it's all about macro. The 10x macro capability is genuinely impressive, turning your compact camera into a bug-eye machine. The wide angle is a nice extra, but it's not the reason to buy this. If you own a G7X III and want to explore macro photography without buying a dedicated macro lens, this is the cheapest way to get there.

If you don't own a G7X III, skip it. If you're looking for a serious wide angle lens, this isn't it. Get a proper wide angle lens for your system, like the Sony 16-50mm or Nikon 16-50mm. But if you have the G7X and want macro, this is the one.

If you own a Canon G7X III and want to dive into macro photography, buy this. It's the best macro accessory for that camera, and the price is right. If you're after wide angle, look elsewhere. But for macro, it's a clear winner.
