New lenses available for SeaLife Micro 3.0 cameras
SeaLife has introduced a new Close Up Lens for its new Micro 3.0 cameras, including the new ReefMaster RM-4K and previous generations of Micro series cameras.
The new lens makes it easy to capture sharp close-up images and video from 6 to 24 inches (15cm to 60cm). The +10 diopter wet lens attaches quickly and easily on land or underwater. The lens features a single optical glass element that is anti-reflection (AR) coated. The lens’ frame mount is constructed of a durable rubber material that protects the optical glass lens and securely presses on to the camera’s lens port with a precise, straight fit. The lens also includes a safety lanyard to prevent accidental loss. The Close Up Lens offers a generous depth of field; for those that want a little more guidance, there’s a hole for a distance range stick that can be added to the front of the lens (a distance stick can be fashioned easily using a wooden skewer).
For closer focusing, SeaLife offers their two-element Super Macro Lens that shoots as close as 3.5” (depending on camera model), with a lesser depth of field to approximately 7 inches (9-18cm).
Both lenses are available from SeaLife or its worldwide network of retailers and dive centers starting late July 2020.
