WFL08S Close-Up Wet Lens

Description

Full-frame macro lenses already reach life size, so the useful next step is a moderate dioptre that adds magnification without shrinking the working distance to nothing. The WFL08S gives +6 dioptres, which lifts a 105 mm f2.8 macro lens to about 1.5x while keeping the subject 80 to 160 mm from the front element. It is built for full-frame sensors with 60 to 105 mm macro lenses, using four elements in three groups of high-refractive-index glass with a multi-layer BBAR coating. On a reef it adds magnification while leaving room to angle two strobes, in cold water with thick gloves the longer working distance gives more margin for positioning, and on a macro trip it serves as the everyday dioptre that stays on the port. It weighs 367 g in air and 212 g in water and screws onto any M67 port thread. It is rated to 60 m. It suits a full-frame macro shooter who wants extra magnification without losing working distance.
