Nauticam EMWL Extended Macro Wide Lens Relay Lens

The EMWL can be used without the relay lens. Without the relay lens, you will have an inverted image, but the overall length of the EMWL will be approximately 6.5 inches (164.5mm) shorter.

The relay lens was designed to the highest standard with 14 glass elements in 10 groups. The EMWL Objective Lenses generates an inverted image, making it appear upside down. The Relay Lens corrects the inverted image and relays the image back to the focusing unit and sensor. It is 150mm in length and only 62mm at its widest point. This allows the front of the EMWL to be placed extremely close to your subject while keeping the bulk of the camera system and the photographer at an extended distance. It also opens up creative possibilities for videographers to shoot motion shots in tight spaces. Imagine a push through eelgrass to reveal a juvenile batfish or a pullback from a small subject to reveal the burrow it lives in. All three Focusing Units use the same Relay Lens. It is possible to use the EMWL without the relay lens if you do not need the extended working distance, but you will want a camera or monitor that can correct the inverted image in the EVF or LCD.
