The links on the forum are not active everywhere in the box, you have to hover over the title, caught me out a few times, hopefully this link works, it's just to show minimal difference with a change in extension on a fisheye.

Thanks, this link works.
Actually, I was already reading the whole thread a few days ago (before I started this thread).

..and that should have brought you to the conclusion not to use WWL on Canon Naughtycam Systems and put a 3rd party dome on your shopping list.

Please report back WASO once you have some shots with what you bought.

Actually, the WWL was never on my shopping list.
Before I started this thread, I was almost sure to buy a WACP-C.🫢

After Christmas, I will first buy and modify the Commlite RF/EF adapter to determine how big the IQ difference is compared to the older Kenko and after that, I'll probably buy the 140mm FE Port.

Actually I also had a long period, where I thought, I might be missing out on something, not owning a WAPC-C or other Nauticam Water Contact Optic. They are just so heavily hyped and raved by various (officially not paid) talking heads on the internet.

The death sentence for WAPC-C was this very honest review by Interceptor121 :

Nauticam WACP-C vs WWL-1

I am conscious that a post like this is destined to create some stir, however it reflects over one month of testing of the two Nauticam water contact optics with my A1 and summarizes my conclusion …

Wrap Up

As you can see by yourself there is really nothing between the two optics and clearly the difference between the wet and dry version is simply in the ergonomics and of course the price. For me there is no reason to consider the WACP-C unless you have serious issues with a wet mount.
