    I hope that catches on. I hate that my phone is 80% as good as my $500 DSLR but has absolutely no depth perception. Software fills in the background with a shitty bokeh effect that ruined my favourite wildflower photo I’ve taken. If we get a trend of actual lenses then maybe that will start to go away.

      The problem is fundamentally a physics issue.

      You’re going to struggle to get depth of field on any pancake stack, much less one that is as miniaturized as a mobile phone.

      Also your sensor isn’t actually nearly as good as a DSLR. A DSLR has a sensor about 5x the size of a phone and that makes a huge difference in the photos.
