Introducing our newest Water Contact Optic, the Mid-range focus optimizer or MFO-3. The MFO-3 is designed to elevate your macro shooting experience by eliminating any noticeable focus hunting while ensuring crisper, sharper and more vibrant images.
Check compatible lenses on the MFO-3 Chart, under Optics on the Port Charts page.
*As of September 2026: the design and physical dimension for MFO-3 now have changed due to material shortage on the first version.
The new design (SN starts from A680120) has the same functionality as the first design. Regarding repairs, the front element remains interchangeable between the two designs. The main differences lie in the height of the lens, internal element, and the rear element, which have been updated to accommodate the material constraints. The new version is the MFO-3II.
