Makes it possible for anyone to easily capture close-up shots even of moving or shaky objects

LM-2 was developed exclusively as the lens for SLR cameras for close-up shots and provides the same features as our best-selling film compact camera series "MacromaX," the first camera in the world that made it possible for anyone to easily capture clear 10 cm close-up shots and to capture pictures as if the object had stopped moving even if the object was moving quite fast.
