InfinFX K2 Long Distance Macro Lens

A handy component of Clairmont Camera's creative arsenal is the InfinFX K2™ Long Distance Macro Lens. This lens allows for shooting a macro image while having the camera and lens at a much greater distance from the subject than has been previously possible. This improvement over macro lenses currently on the market, makes the InfinFX K2™ Long Distance Macro Lens the tool to use to light subjects properly. Most of the time you'll be 30" to 48" away from the subject.

The lens itself has a maximum aperture of T22 and a minimum aperture of T77. Keep in mind that these deep stops are necessary to get a reasonable depth of field at 5x or 10x magnification. Included with the kit is a 2x extender, which has a maximum aperture of T45. The 2x extender, as well as an optional 2x zoom, are accessories that can be added that will double the magnification of the subject but will not change the distance from the front of the lens to the subject. This is yet another impressive improvement over existing macro lenses which limit the image magnification to 1x the object being photographed. This 1x (1:1) magnification with existing macro lenses, allows only a few inches between the front of the lens and the subject making it very hard to light the scene and difficult to operate the camera. With this same 1x (1:1) magnification using the InfinFX K2™ Long Distance Macro Lens there will be a distance of 2' to work. 2x magnification is impossible with other macro lenses but with the InfinFX K2™ Long Distance Macro Lens 2x (2:1) magnification is not only possible but there will be 12" between the lens and the subject in which to work!
But the improvements don't stop there. Until now, 10x magnification (10:1) was only possible with a microscope. Amazingly, the InfinFX K2™ Long Distance Macro Lens can not only magnify 10x but it can do so while leaving 1.9" between the lens and the subject!

Integral to the system are the interchangeable objectives which attach to the front of the lens. The objectives have the following properties:
