Nauticam MFO-1 Mid-Range Focus Optimizer 1 Macro Diopter Lens

$474

Nauticam's newest Water Contact Optic, the Mid-range focus optimizer or MFO-1. The MFO-1's main function is to cancel the focus distance limitation of macro lenses underwater and provide ample focus distance for different sizes of subjects which were previously limited by using SMC-1 or CMC lenses. The MFO-1 also greatly improves optical performance by minimizing aberration.

The multiplier lens elements are precision crafted of specially formulated low-dispersion optical-grade glass and ground to the most demanding standards.

Aquatica +10 Wet Close up lens

$229.95

To go in the realms of super macro, one has to address methods of adding magnification to a standard macro lens. This can be done in a multitude of ways, but in underwater photography, the most practical and frequent mean of doing so is to add a close up lens in front of the lens. This close up lens can be of internal or of external type, doing so internally limits the photographer range of subjects for the duration of the dive.
