Overview & Features
Saga macro lens +5 - Achromatic
The Saga Magnifier with +5 dioptres is a high-quality close-up lens specifically
designed for underwater photographers and videographers. It may be used
on its own or mounted in a Saga flip adapter for maximum convenience. The Saga macro lens is perfect for shooting close-up images of fish, corals,
textures and more. The macro lens magnifies the subject and enables the
camera to focus on short distances for creating super sharp images.
The +5 macro lens is our smallest and lightest lens, ideal for macro photography at low magnification, allowing us to take them from a greater distance and with more comfort.
Main Features
-
Large Diameter: a 61 mm diameter lens offers a wide field of view compatible even with full-frame DSLR cameras (36 mm x 24 mm sensors).
-
Multiple Power Options: available in either +5, +10, +15, +20, +25 diopter versions. Choose the power best-suited to your style of photography. The +10 version can increase your camera lens' magnification by up to 3.5x!
-
Sealed, Multi-element, Coated Optics: because Saga optics are air-sealed, they retain full power underwater. Multiple lens elements (either 2 or 4 depending on strength) virtually eliminate pincushion distortion and chromatic aberration. Furthermore, anti-reflective coatings on all lens surfaces increase image brightness.
-
Standard 67 mm Mounting Thread: The Saga Magnifier offers an industry-standard 67 mm thread. Screws directly onto many underwater housing ports!
-
Wet mountable for detaching or installing underwater according to imaging needs.

Optional Handle / Lanyard Mount: These accessories allow hand-held use. Ideal for marine life enthusiasts.
