Nauticam EMWL Extended Macro Wide Lens 60° Objective Lens

For a narrower angle of view or if you would like the background elements to look more compressed, then the 60° objective lens is the perfect choice for the Extended Macro Wide Lens. It is designed with 9 elements in 6 groups. There are three focusing ranges that can be set on the lens, ∞-55mm, 55-25mm, and 25-15mm. I would suggest setting it to the ∞-55mm setting and adjust to one of the closer settings when working extremely close to a subject. The closer setting work similar to an extension tube by moving the lens further away from the sensor.

The EMWL was built to work with several popular macro lenses and is optimized for both stills and video. It is a wet mount design so the lens can be attached and removed underwater. This increases the versatility of the entire system and other accessories like SMC and CMC macro converters can also be used. It is a modular design with three individual pieces that make up the EMWL, the Focusing Unit, the Relay Module, and the Objective Lens. Nauticam has made components optimized to work with different camera manufacturers and their macro lenses, as well as choices for three unique perspectives. Let’s look at the individual parts and dive a bit deeper into the EMWL.
