Looking for 67mm wide angle

[coweyman]

I have a tg6 in an ikelite housing. I am doing a trip to la paz next month and hoping to get some nice shots of some larger fish but also maybe some macro. I am not experienced with wide angle so I don't know what I will need. I appreciate any input on the subject as well as any info towards getting a lens. Prefer used.

 

Thanks

@coweyman You probably want to use Ikelite's wide lens and port:

There may be other combinations that may work. If you had an Olympus or Seafrogs housing there are wet lens options from Backscatter, Kraken, Inon. If you don't want to shoot fisheye, you might attach an "air" lens, which basically restores the wide view that a flat port takes away underwater. Backscatter has one. I find the air lens is a good addition to the basic Olympus kit because it allows you to shoot macro without removing the lens. You might look around for Ikelite options.

@coweyman This not an "air" lens but a dome which corrects the wide angle perspective underwater:
