I am using an iPhone 6 currently and would like to invest in a lens kit. My budget is £40 but I would prefer anything less than £30. I would preferably like it in a kit so that everything is in the same place and I don’t have the worry of loosing parts & so it is easily transported. Looking at taking photos birds, plants, fungus, bugs, to put things short everything. Any suggestions would be brilliant!

If you can get it, really recommend Ztylus Revolver, which is noted on one of the other threads.
Otherwise, I found Olloclip also good for iPhone 6.
But the Revolver is just exceptional compared to all other phone lens setups I’ve tried.
Whatever you do, I recommend not to go for the cheaper universal clip-on ones - better just to shoot through a loupe.

Just wanted to say that if you buy a lens kit, most likely the only one of the set that you will use will be the macro lens. That will help where you need a close-up shot showing detail, but is not going to help at all with taking photos of birds and a lot of plants.
The individual lenses can be easy to lose, but if they are very cheap that is not so much of a problem.
