EMWL 60° 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 tightest, most controlled angle of view in the EMWL range
- you like background elements rendered larger and more compressed
- you shoot portraits of small subjects where a busy background would distract
At a glance
| Angle of view | 60° |
| Optical design | 9 elements in 6 groups |
| Focus ranges | ∞–55mm / 55–25mm / 25–15mm |
| Dimensions | 62.0 × 97.0 mm |
| Weight (air / water) | 378g / 260g |
A more selective perspective
At 60° this is the narrowest of the four EMWL objectives. It keeps the field of view tight, so the subject dominates the frame and the background sits closer and more compressed — context without clutter.
Three set focus ranges
The 60° objective offers three focusing ranges you can dial in on the lens — ∞–55 mm, 55–25 mm and 25–15 mm — for precise control across working distances.
