Nauticam SMC 2 81202

The new SMC-2 lens builds on the success of the SMC-1 with almost double its magnification.  In spite of all this, it maintains exceptionally high image quality, following the examples set by the SMC-1.

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

The Super Macro Converter -2 is constructed from lenses are precision crafted of specially formulated low dispersion optical grade glass, ground to the most demanding standards.  These exceptional measures, enhanced by broadband anti-refective coatings effectively reduce common optical issues such as chromatic aberrations, coma, spherical aberration, and field deformation associated with underwater macro photography using traditional magnifying lenses.  These optics are assembled in a rugged hard anodized aluminum housing, and nitrogen purged during assembly to eliminate fogging.

As the Super Macro Converter -2 is optimized explicitly for using together with a macro lens underwater, images captured exhibit exceptional sharpness compared with conventional magnification lenses.  Thanks to the broadband multi-layer anti-reflection coating on each surface of the lenses, images also exhibit higher contrast.

High resolution was a primary design goal of the SMC project.  This has been achieved using computer aided optimization and high grade optical glasses with unique refractive and dispersion properties.  Images taken with this new system exhibit very high resolution and quality.   Results have exceeded expectations, and these images rival the quality of the macro lens in air.

Due to the overall superior optical performance of the SMC it is possible to shoot larger apertures with excellent image quality.   This avoids reaching the diffraction limit of high resolution sensors, and allows selective focus effects with narrow depth of field in super macro images.
