The lens is ultra thin.
Product Overview:
This product incorporates the world of Ultraman from the lens itself to the packaging. Its ultra-thin design, optimized for portability, transforms everyday life into a special effects stage. Its ultra-thin design measures approximately 60mm in diameter, 14mm thick, and weighs approximately 78g. Its pocket-sized design, even when attached to a camera, makes it as lightweight as a body cap. The optical system employs six elements in four groups (including two high-refractive-index lenses). Despite its compact size, it strives to deliver rich, expressive images that maximize contrast and depth. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.2m, it’s also suitable for close-up photography, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from street snapshots to tabletop photography.

About the Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary Project (excerpt from the project official website)
Ultraman made his first television appearance on July 10, 1966. Since then, the Ultraman series has always moved with the times, at times moving people’s hearts and delivering inspirations of courage, hope, and compassion. In 2026, it will celebrate its 60th anniversary since its first broadcast. To commemorate this historic milestone, we are currently running the “Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary Project.” We aim to share the appeal of the series with longtime fans as well as those who have never experienced Ultraman before, and through the profound stories and universal themes of each series, we hope that Ultraman will continue to be loved by generations and across borders.
