NAUTICAM EMWL OPTICS

Nauticam EMWL Optics for Underwater Macro-to-Wide Shooting

The Nauticam EMWL (Extended Macro Wide Lens) system is a modular optics platform built for underwater photographers and videographers looking to capture wide-angle perspectives without sacrificing working distance. It’s especially useful for super-macro subjects where space and context matter—think small critters, eggs, or nudibranchs in their environment.

Modular by Design
This category includes a full range of EMWL components:

• Objective Lenses (60°, 100°, 130°, 160°) to control field of view

• Focusing Units tailored for popular macro lenses (Sony, Canon, Nikon, OM SYSTEM)

• Relay Lenses (standard or angled) to extend distance and camera position

• Accessories, including gaskets, water jackets, flip holders, and strobe mounts

Each part is designed to work together, giving you flexibility in how you shoot and how compact or extended your rig becomes underwater.

Highlighted EMWL Options

• EMWL 130° Objective Lens: A wide yet natural field of view for immersive close-focus wide-angle.

• EMWL Focusing Unit #3: Compatible with Sony’s 90mm macro lens.

• Nauticam EMWL Angled Relay Lens: Helps with ergonomics and creative framing.

• Nauticam EMWL Water Jacket Set: Protects and thermally insulates your system for extended dives.

Who Is This For?
This setup is ideal for advanced users looking to expand into creative macro-wide video or unique underwater perspectives. It’s not the lightest or simplest option, but it opens visual opportunities few systems can match.
