Nauticam EMWL Extended Macro Wide Lens 100° Objective Lens

This is an extremely versatile angle of view. It is the smallest and sleekest in physical size making it a good choice for timid subjects and tight spaces. It is designed with 9 elements in 6 groups. An angle of view of 100° is still a lot of background space for small macro subjects or to shoot wide-angle with. A 16mm lens on FF is 107° for comparison. 

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.
