SAGA releases new close-up lenses

The new lenses can be used with foldable SAGA brackets, or on any port with a 67mm thread. This makes them very versatile.

In the construction of these lenses we tried to make them as light and small as possible.

As mentioned above, the lenses’s threads are 67mm and they have a final diameter of 61 mm. This allows for better flash coverage on the subject when at the minimum focusing distance and is also the smallest diameter that can allow the photographer to get the subject in the center of the frame if it is flat on the bottom.
