EMWL 160° 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 widest possible EMWL perspective
• you like placing a small subject inside a big, immersive scene
• you value a small front element for creative, close approaches

At a glance

The widest view

At 160° this is the widest objective in the EMWL family — ideal for putting a subject firmly in its environment with an almost fisheye sense of space.

Small front, big possibilities

Despite the ultra-wide coverage the front element stays small, opening up creative close-approach angles. Pair with the 160° shade (87519).
