CoastalOpt® 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro features:

  • No focus shift from UV through IR (315nm through 1100nm)
  • Excellent UV transmission
  • Manual focus with automatic diaphragm
  • All-metal lens barrel
  • Floating element design
  • Nikon F mount
  • CPU for metadata transmission
  • Perfect for full spectrum cameras such as the Fuji IS-Pro
  • Designed for use with both 35mm film and digital formats

A first in optical design, the 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro provides full apochromatic correction over an extraordinarily broad waveband ranging from the onset of atmospheric ultraviolet transparency at 315nm to the limit of CCD/CMOS sensitivity at 1100nm in the infrared.

Ordinary quartz-fluorite lenses cannot be color corrected into the infrared due to limitations inherent in these optical materials. The 60mm UV-VIS-IR 1:4 Apo Macro lens achieves unprecedented correction from UV through IR by combining fluorite and quartz with elements made from carefully selected high transmission glasses.

An advanced floating element optical formula, including 5 elements made from calcium fluoride crystal, ensures stunning performance under all conditions. Ghosts and hotspots are eliminated by a combination of optical design and advanced ultra-broadband AR coatings.

The product of a technological partnership between Coastal Optical Systems and Caldwell Photographic Inc., this lens is ideal for forensics, crime scene documentation, medicine, science, and fine art photography.
