UCL-90 XD Close-up Lens
A close-up lens that offers comfortable high magnification and a longer working distance to easily fill the light. The lens has been specifically designed for underwater use to achieve high image quality and a particularly compact body with the HR lens. The UCL-90 is suitable as a macro lens for both full-frame SLR systems and compact digital cameras.
Compatible lenses:
- 60mm-100mm macro lens for full frame SLRs (*1)
- 40mm-60mm macro lens exclusively for APS-C (*1)
- 45mm-60mm macro lens (*1), standard zoom lens (*2) for Micro Four Thirds
- Compact digital camera with maximum optical zoom 5x or less (*2)
(*1) Vignetting may occur in housing systems where the distance between the main lens of the camera and the surface of the port, or between this product and the port, is very large.
(*2) The usable zoom range is between 60 mm and 100 mm (35 mm film equivalent). Outside this range, there is vignetting at wide angle and poorer image quality at telephoto.
High magnification with a focal length of 90 mm (+11 diopters).
The maximum magnification when using this lens with a 100 mm macro lens for a full-frame SLR system is x2.23 (area ratio x4.98) (*3), which is an intermediate performance between "UCL-67" (+15 diopters) and "UCL-165" (+6 diopters).
The UCL-67 offers high magnification and a long working distance at the same time. When used with a 100 mm macro lens for SLR cameras, the working distance is 69 mm at minimum focal length (*3).
Together with its compact size, the lens provides friendly illumination even at minimum focusing distance.
(*3) When used with the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED.
Designed exclusively for underwater use, the lens effectively suppresses aberrations throughout the focal range to deliver sharp, high-contrast images even at close shooting distances. (*4).
(*4) This lens is designed for underwater use only. When used on land, the subject will not be enlarged and distortion will occur at the edges of the image or vignetting, etc.
The use of HR glass makes the lens compact and suitable for a wide range of camera systems, from 100mm macro SLR lenses to compact digital cameras (*5). The compact lens body also means there are fewer lighting restrictions, so you can use a variety of lighting techniques.
(*5) The usable zoom range is between 60 mm and 100 mm (35 mm film equivalent). Beyond this range, there is vignetting in the wide-angle range and poorer image quality in the telephoto range.
The lens consists of 3 elements in 2 groups and effectively suppresses chromatic aberration by using an achromatic lens inside. An anti-reflective coating on all lens surfaces also suppresses flare/glare.
The optional "Lens Adapter Ring for UCL-67" attaches to the M65 thread of the UCL-67 and allows the INON M67 series "UCL-165M67"/"UCL-330" to be stacked on the front of the UCL-67 for even higher magnification for super macro photography. (*6)
(*6) Other close-up lenses with higher magnification, such as "UCL-67 M67","UCL-90 M67" or "UCL-100M67", are not recommended due to deterioration of image quality.
The lens mount is the versatile "XD Mount" bayonet mount.
