Description
The INON UFL-MR130 EFS60 is a highly specialized underwater micro semi-fisheye relay lens designed exclusively for the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. Often referred to as the legendary “Bug Eye” lens, it creates a unique perspective that combines ultra-wide-angle coverage with extreme close-focus capability, allowing photographers to capture tiny subjects alongside expansive underwater backgrounds.
