Nauticam Super Macro Converter SMC-1
2.3X Magnification
The Nauticam Super Macro Converter, also known as Nauticam SMC, stands out as a highly recommended, powerful wet macro lens for dedicated underwater macro photographers. Specifically optimized for underwater macro photography, this lens reflects Nauticam's reputation for delivering top-quality products. The SMC-1, in particular, lives up to this standard, providing edge-to-edge sharpness and a longer working distance compared to alternatives. It is particularly well-suited for full-frame shooters and pairs excellently with lenses such as the Sony 90mm Macro Lens, Canon 100mm Macro Lens, Nikon 105mm VR Lens, and similar models. When it comes to macro photography, the SMC-1 is our preferred choice.
Features:
- Strongest, sharpest diopter on the market
- More magnification than Subsee +10
- Very sharp in the corners
- A longer working distance than other supermacro diopters
- Great edge to edge sharpness with less abberation and diffraction
- Works well with the Nauticam flip-adapter
- Ideal for full-frame shooters, or photographers already experienced with a wet diopter like the Bluewater +7, Kraken +6 or the Subsee +5 or +10
- The SMC-1 works best with a good macro lens like the Sony 90mm macro lens, Nikon 105mm VR lens, or the Canon 100mm macro lens
- The SMC is unique among super macro diopters because it can work well with shorter focal length lenses like the Canon EF-S 60mm macro, Panasonic 45mm macro, and Olympus 12-50mm macro.
Recommended Accessories:
- Nauticam flip adapter for flat port 72
- Nauticam flip adapter for 4 inch wide-angle port
- Nauticam SMC Ring Adapter 81222
SMC-1 Not Strong Enough?
- Do you need even a stronger diopter? The Nauticam SMC-2 has twice the magnification of the SMC-1 or add a Nauticam Multiplier for SMC-1
