Wide-angle macro with large depth of field, including more subjects. The slender structure of the mirror body can be used for shooting in small spaces such as macro model building, food scenery, and animal caves. It can also keep a certain working distance from the subject, without affecting the subject to create a more shocking picture.
2x magnification macro: 2x magnification allows photographers to show more details in content shooting. Compared with other macro lenses, it provides a greater depth of field, and it is more convenient for photographers to show macro details and backgrounds with a wide-angle field of view.
Excellent Portability: The lens can be detached into 2 sections and stored separately. Provides portability for photographers on the go.
Front-end waterproof design: The front 25cm of the lens adopts waterproof treatment, and the sapphire glass is anti-fragile and scratch-resistant, so that the lens can be shot deep into the water (250mm) to meet the needs of some special environments.
