INON Macro, Close-Up, Bug-Eye, Wide Angle and Fisheye Wet Lenses

INON have a range of different lenses to suit any underwater photographers needs. With superior optical quality, INON are top of the range in wet lenses.

INON UCL wet lenses can be fitted and removed underwater as needed for maximum flexibility and also have the ability to stack for more magnification. When combined with INON UWL wide-angle lenses, the underwater photographer can handle almost any opportunity that arises.

Two and three element lens construction which are multicoated to maximize light transmission and reduce reflections, flare and ghosting offer the highest quality of optical performance.

With M67 thread, or LD bayonet mount, INON’s wet lenses can be used with most underwater housings/ports which have a 67m thread or bayonet mount.

INON UCL67-M67 Macro Wet Lens

The UCL-67 M67 underwater close-up lens is designed to deliver high magnification yet superior image quality best suited to full frame SLR macro lenses of focal length 60mm – 100mm with comfortable long working distance enabling easy lighting. The lens also supports mirrorless as well as compact system.

Powerful magnification with focal length 67mm (+15 diopter). Maximum magnification of the UCL-67 with range of 100mm macro lens for full frame SLR is 2.76x (area ratio: 7.65x) at the minimum focusing distance. While the UCL-67 delivers high magnification, it still offers long working distance. When using with 100mm range macro lens for SLR, working distance is 52mm (83.4mm from housing port surface) at minimum focusing distance . Together with its compact size, the lens supports friendly lighting even at minimum focusing distance.

The lens is consists of 4 elements in 3 groups using high refractive index glass to accommodate with a macro lens for full-frame digital SLR with compact body yet delivering high magnification and superior image quality. Employing achromatic lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberration and anti-reflection coating on all surfaces suppresses flare/ghost. Designed sole use underwater to provide effectively suppressed aberrations in all focal range and unparalleled high quality image on any supported shooting range. (*4) This product is designed for underwater use only. Using on land will have less magnification, distortion, vignetting etc..

Optional “Lens Adapter Ring for UCL-67” is attached on the M65 screw thread of the UCL-67 allowing to stack INON M67 series, “UCL-165M67″/”UCL-330” on the front side of the UCL-67 to support even higher magnification for super macro imaging needs. Lens mount is highly versatile screw type “M67 Mount”. Optional “M67 Flip Mount Adapter for UCL-67” is available to replace with original M67 screw mount to use the lens on a flip mount such as Nauticam flip lens holder etc. This adapter allows the UCL-67 to locate close to housing lens port.

INON UCL165-M67 Close-Up Wet Lens

The UCL-165M67 is high magnification close-up lens providing 165mm focal length (+6 diopter) where 165mm shooting distance from lens surface when camera’s focus position is set to infinity. Using minimum focusing distance will shorten minimum focus distance allowing you to get closer to a subject enabling high magnification close-up photography.

Dual use underwater / land and usable with all zoom range. Even at same shooting distance, it is easy to capture a subject at desired size by adjusting zoom setting.

The lens construction is 2 elements in 2 groups with high quality optical glass with inner coating to suppress optical aberrations more effectively and bring out optimal performance of combined master lens comparing to a lens using just one double-convex element.

The lens body has screw mount on its front end to stack other UCL-165M67 for even higher magnification macro imaging. Off course the UCL-330 can be stacked as well. The threaded part has a slit to drain water from gap between two lenses to easily separate combined lens underwater.

Highly versatile screw type “M67 Mount” compatible.

The UCL-165M67 is directly screwed on a housing which has M67 lens ring. For a housing which does not have M67 lens ring, the UCL-165M67 is attached via dedicated “M67 Mount Base” or “M67 Lens Adapter Base”. For “28LD Mount Base」compatible housing, the UCL-165M67 is attached on “28LD Mount Base” via “M67-LD Mount Converter for UCL-330/165M67”.

(*1) Optional “M67-LD Mount Converter for UCL-330/165M67” is necessary.

UFL-M150 ZM80 Underwater Micro Fisheye Lens
