Macromate lens

Hello,

anyone has tested macromate lens from backscatter.com ?

Is the same than Nexus wet lens?

Haven't tested it but it is about $435.00 more expensive than the Nexus wet lens.

It is an achromat diopter and yields a much higher magnification than the one sold bu Nexus USA.

Cheers

I would hope that it was special at over SEVEN TIMES the price of the NEXUS wet lens.

James, what is the magnification factor?

This thing is over twice the cost of a NEW Nikkor 60mm f2.8 lens... AMAZING

Sorry, I used the wrong term. It's a diopter, so it doesn't technically have a magnification factor. I saw some of Berkley's Komodo shots at the Digital Shootout - taken with the 105 and macromate - and they were stunning.

Cheers

James
