The Coastal Optics UV-VIS-IR 60mm Macro for Nikon is a specialty lens used for forensic, ultraviolet, and infrared photography. Key features include:
Not Your Standard Macro Lens. The Coastal Optics UV-VIS-IR 60mm Macro is very much a specialty lens. If you don’t know what it is, just move along, move along. If you want a great Macro lens, save a lot of money and rent one of the other ones. This is a very expensive optic used for special purposes only.
UV/IR Capture. The Coastal Optic 60mm Macro is, first and foremost, a lens used for forensic photography. It’s equally outstanding in ultraviolet light, infrared light, and in the visible light spectrum. It’s completely apochromatic from 315nm to 1100nm wavelength.
Nearly Perfect Optics. This is arguably considered one of the most distortion- and aberration-free lenses made, and is used as a standard against which other standard-range lenses are measured.
Nikon F Mount. This lens comes in Nikon F mount and Nikon F mount only. If you’d like to use it on another system or mount, you’ll need to use an adapter. If you’re using it for scientific purposes, you probably already know that’s a bad idea, as adapter tolerances are like a 55MPH speed-limit sign on the interstate.
