EMWL 100° Objective Lens
Part of the Nauticam EMWL modular wide-macro system
The Nauticam EMWL (Extended Macro Wide Lens) is a water-contact relay lens system that lets you shoot extreme wide-angle from a macro working distance — tiny subjects rendered large, with their whole surroundings behind them. It is a modular, wet-mountable design in three parts: a Focusing Unit matched to your macro lens, the 150 mm Relay Module, and an interchangeable Objective Lens that sets the angle of view. Because it mounts and unmounts underwater, you can change perspective mid-dive.
Consider this if:
- you want the smallest, lightest EMWL objective for tight spaces
- you photograph timid subjects that a large front element would spook
- you want one versatile wide-macro angle for everyday shooting
At a glance
| Angle of view | 100° |
| Optical design | 9 elements in 6 groups |
| Dimensions | 62.0 × 88.5 mm |
| Weight (air / water) | 219g / 140g |
Small, sleek, approachable
The 100° objective is the most compact in the range — a slim profile and small front element make it easy to work into tight reef spaces and less likely to startle nervous subjects.
Genuinely versatile
100° still gives generous background around a small macro subject, or room to work wide — the natural first objective for most shooters.
