Lens

The GemLightbox Macro is a plug and play solution. No adapter is needed to access the 10x zoom. A custom 10x macro lens is built into the GemLightbox Macro and ready to use.

Unlike regular photography lenses, the GemLightbox Macro lens was developed and tested specifically with smartphones for photographing loose diamonds and gemstones.

The 10x zoom of the GemLightbox Macro is designed to have the optimal magnification for diamond photography. Any greater zoom will result in the diamond showing too many inclusions and also being blurry.
