6: Morpholens
Morpholens 6 introduces a new electro-optical aperture system they call Iris-X . The lens physically shifts the aperture blades between two different optical paths depending on your magnification ratio. The result? I shot a fly eye at f/16 and retained individual facet details that look like they were shot at f/4. It’s voodoo magic, and it works. Let’s be honest: previous Morpholens iterations were purely manual. You had to breathe gently on the focus rail to get a shot. For the Morpholens 6, they partnered with a major motor manufacturer (rumors say DJI) to integrate a linear voice coil motor .
Does it work like a Sony GM lens? No. It’s slower, but it is accurate . For stacking 200 images in the field, you no longer need a bulky external rail. The lens breathes (internally) at 1-micron steps. This alone is worth the upgrade. Field macro shooters know the terror of dew. You lie down in the grass at 6 AM, get the perfect shot of a weevil, and then realize condensation has seeped into your front element. morpholens 6
