Close-up lens testing with Nauticam NA-D7100 in Lembeh

Posted by Alex Tattersall on 23rd Nov 2014

I took the opportunity on my recent trip to test some of our range of close up diopters on a pair of Coleman’s Shrimp resting on a Fire Urchin at the Little Lembeh site in Sogod Bay. All shots were taken with a Nikon D7100 in a Nauticam with a 105mm VR lens set to manual focus on maximum 1:1 magnification. This was purely a test in magnification capability of the lens combinations, I was acutely aware as my air ran low and my deco started mounting, that perhaps diopter testing is not ideal at 25 meters! Lighting is not consistent across the shots but it gives an idea of the relative magnification of the lenses.
