The INON UCL-165AD close-up lens (or it's elder sibling, the INON UCL-165 M67)is an excellent option for extreme macro photography using compact digital cameras. It has a 165mm focal length and makes high magnification close-up photography possible by shortening the close focus distance, allowing the photographer to get closer to the subject.

Also, the lens is designed to work effectively both above and below water, allowing the photographer to capture macro subjects above water, and in wet or splash type environments.

For even more magnification, multiple UCL-165 lenses can be 'stacked' using the female mount machined into the face of the lens barrel.

Photographer J.D. Suss provided us with these examples shot using multiple UCL-165 M67 lenses.

Note:
If using the UCL-165AD lens with a “28AD Mount Base DC40” for Canon WP-DC40 housing, or a "28AD Port PT-027/020" for Olympus PT-027 & PT-020 housings, a UCL-165AD 28AD Mount Converter part is necessary. This mount converter part fits between the 28AD base/port and UCL-165AD close-up lens, enabling attachment.
