Overview & Features
Saga macro lens +10 - Achromatic
The Saga Magnifier with +10 dioptres is a high-quality
close-up lens specifically
designed for underwater photographers and videographers. It may be used
on its own or mounted in a Saga flip adapter for maximum convenience.
The Saga macro lens is perfect for shooting close-up images of fish,
corals,
textures and more. The macro lens magnifies the subject and enables the
camera to focus on short distances for creating super sharp images.
This +10 macro lens is our best-seller and most popular lens. The elements to be highlighted are its versatility of use, its size and its weight. With the +10 lens we have a 10 diopter zoom that allows us to take macro photographs without having to get so close to the subject to be photographed.
Main Features

Large Diameter: a 61 mm diameter lens offers a wide field of view compatible even with full-frame DSLR cameras (36 mm x 24 mm sensors).
