Some wet lenses can convert macro lenses to wide angle fisheye - allowing you to shoot macro and wide angle at the same time underwater - even with a full frame or aps-c camera! Why Choose a Wet Lens? These are not wet lenses, but rather wide angle ports with optical lens element. If you need the sharpest corners and best underwater optics possible, consider the Nauticam WACP-1 and WACP-2. Some wet lenses offer sharper corners underwater and some are softer. Some lenses can focus while the camera zooms in and out, and others require a specific focal length of operation. Some lenses only work underwater and some lenses focus both above and below water. Finally, you should identify what features you want your wide angle lens to have. Next, decide if you want any additional mounting accessories like a flip adapter or bayonet system. Otherwise, we offer step down and step up adapters to convert a 67mm thread to a 52mm thread and vice versa. Some wet lenses have one version that fits with a 67mm thread and one that fits with a 52mm thread. Most housings have 67mm threads, but some smaller housings like the Olympus TG-6 housing, have a 52mm thread. Then you'll want to make sure the thread on the wet lens will fit the thread on your port. Our product pages will have camera recommendations to make things a little easier. If you have a cropped sensor camera, find out what the 35mm equivalent focal length of the lens is when you look at compatibility charts.

For example, some wide angle wet lenses can convert a 24mm equivalent lens (84.1 degree FOV) to a 6.9mm equivalent lens (145 degree fisheye FOV). Wet wide-angle lenses are designed to attach to the front of your port to convert your fixed lens compact camera, or standard lens on a mirrorless/DSLR camera to a wide angle field of view. This means your undewater strobes or video lights will also get close to your subject and you'll capture better colors, deeper contrast, and more details. Wide angle lenses allow you to approach and focus close to your subject, while still keeping the subject in the frame. Without a wide angle lens, you would have to move so far away from your subject to get it in the frame that your image will look washed out and blue. Wide-angle wet lenses are the key to capturing those dramatic images of reefs and large animals underwater.
