Watch the Ultra vs Super Telephoto Comparison

David Addison puts the Ultra Telephoto 300–600mm, the Super Telephoto 240mm, and the iPhone 17 Pro native telephoto cameras side by side to show how each focal length changes the final image.

Key idea: the Ultra Telephoto is built for extreme reach. The Super Telephoto is built for versatility. Together, they create a complete REEFLEX telephoto system.

Two Lenses. Two Creative Roles.

The comparison makes one thing clear: these lenses are not duplicates. They are complementary tools designed for different creative situations.

Ultra Telephoto 300–600mm

Built for extreme long-distance photography, stronger background compression, a narrower field of view, and powerful subject isolation.

  • 300mm at 48MP RAW on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
  • Up to 600mm at 12MP on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
  • Designed for distant subjects and extreme reach

Super Telephoto 240mm

Built as the more versatile telephoto tool, extending your reach while keeping more flexibility in your framing.

  • 200mm at 48MP RAW on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
  • 400mm at 12MP on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
  • Compatible with dedicated Macro Add-Ons for close-up detail
Kickstarter campaign ends May 27

A Closer Look at the Ultra Telephoto 300–600mm

In the second video, David goes deeper into the Ultra Telephoto 300–600mm, using real images captured across Europe to explain how the lens performs at 300mm and 600mm.

What the Deep Dive Shows

The deep dive focuses on the creative role of the Ultra Telephoto inside the REEFLEX system: extreme background compression, long-distance detail, natural bokeh, and powerful subject isolation for scenes that are far beyond the native smartphone camera.

Extreme compression

The Ultra Telephoto brings distant backgrounds visually closer, creating a more compressed telephoto look.

Long-distance detail

At 300mm and 600mm, the lens reveals distant subjects that shorter focal lengths cannot frame in the same way.

Natural isolation

The lens creates real optical separation and bokeh, helping subjects stand out from the background.

Real shooting examples

David walks through real campaign images and explains the situations behind them.
