With the AstrHori 18mm f8 2X Macro for Sony E-mount, fascinating macro shots are guaranteed! This is one of the most extraordinary macro lenses around, because the "snorkel optics" make it unique. Product images show optional accessories and application examples .
The AstrHori 18mm f/8 2X Macro lens (equivalent to about 28mm converted to KB) has a special design that allows unique shooting perspectives not achievable with normal macro lenses. The lens is equipped with a 33.5cm long and 23mm thin probe that allows 'slide-in' shooting in hard-to-reach places where conventional lenses don't have enough room. With a maximum magnification of 2:1 and a wide angle of 18mm, the lens has an 80-degree angle of view and a greater depth of field, which most closely matches the perspective of insects.
The built-in 5-watt ring light on the front, with 9 LEDs and USB-C port, makes close-range illumination easy. A dimmable USB cable is included for power. For videographers, the module 0.8 gears are very useful as they allow precise adjustment of distance and aperture via cine focusers.
The first 28cm of the lens' front barrel is waterproof, so you can easily shoot and film just below the surface of water, in other liquids, or in dusty environments. The front lens is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass.
Caution: it is important to note that moisture must not be allowed to enter the USB socket.
Focus and iris are adjusted manually
.
For transport and storage, the front tube can be easily removed and stored in the supplied case
