The Nauticam MWL-1 is a revolutionary concept and the latest addition to the Nauticam underwater corrective optic lineup which includes the WWL-1 and WACP wide angle conversions lenses as well as the SMC and CMC magnifiers. It is a wet-mounted ultra wide lens (meaning it can be attached and removed underwater) designed to be used with a 60mm full frame equivalent macro lens that results in an ultra-wide 150º field of view. With 7 lens elements in 5 groups, the MWL-1 is a technological marvel. The MWL-1 can focus anywhere from the front element to infinity. Ultra wide angle and macro perspectives are now available on the same dive – even with full frame DSLR systems.

Macro to Wide Angle Lens 1 (MWL-1)
The MWL-1, similar to other Nauticam underwater optics is made from precision ground optical glass and features anti-reflective coating on both sides of the lens elements and is nitrogen purged during production.
Macro and Wide with one camera lens!
For many photographers, especially those moving up to an SLR or mirrorless system, there is trepidation at being locked in to either macro or wide angle on a dive. With compact systems that featured wide zoom range lenses that, when paired with corrective optics, could allow for wide angle or macro on the same dive. When moving to an interchangeable lens and port system you would previously have been committed to either wide angle or macro for a given dive.
Close Focus Wide Angle Impact
With the introduction of the MWL-1, not only can you switch between wide angle and macro on the same dive you can also capture unique close focus wide angle images of macro subjects. This technique works best when a macro subject can be placed very close to the lens where exaggerated perspective makes it pop out from an ordinary background.
The MWL-1 excels at smaller apertures and full-frame shooters will get optimal results at F16 or higher.
