There are three key advantages to this internationally patent pending new optical design:

• Higher Magnification Than Other Popular Super Macro Tools with Increased Working Distance
• Better Edge to Edge Image Quality, Higher Contrast, and Lower Color Fringing
• Special made for the 100 and 105mm Macro Full frame SLR lenses
• Also compatibility with “short” macro lenses that traditionally have not worked well with super macro accessories, like Nikon AF-S 60mm /2.8G, Canon EF-S 60mm, Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S., Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 ED M.Zuiko EZ Micro 4/3 Lens, and Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro

Breakthrough Lens Design
Prior to the Super Macro Converter, achieving “super macro” underwater meant using tools that were designed for in air use. These tools simply do not take into account the physics of shooting in water. The SMC takes a radically different approach: treat the system - camera, lens, port, air, and water – as a whole, and account for the air-water interfaces in a conversion lens design to achieve the best image quality possible. The improvement is stunning, measurable and a new standard in underwater macro imaging has been established.

Edward Lai, Managing Director of Nauticam, has utilized a revolutionary approach in developing the SMC.  This is a completely new lens design, developed through hundreds of engineering hours utilizing computer software to model the optical properties of the complete underwater imaging system.  Incorporating these factors into the design yields amazing sharpness, contrast, and clarity that isn’t available from a simple magnifying lens for use in air sealed in a waterproof enclosure.
