Inon UCL-165AD

Hi!

I am using a Canon S40 with Canon WP-DC300 housing and planning to upgrade my setup by a external storbe and an two lenses.

In this posting I like to ask if anybody has experience and some sample photographs witth the Inon lenses UCL-165AD and/or Inon UWL-105AD. Preferably with a Canon camera but any oter P&S Digital would do either.

Can you please also give me your opinion on handling the system under water (where do you put the 2nd lense?)

Best regards

Christian

i have a related question and thought i'd add it here -- i'm interested in getting a macro lens add-on for my pt-015. olympus makes one, as does inon. inon seems to be bringing out a new one in the near future.

does anyone have any experience with either of these lenses? any general feedback?

and my specific questions are:

can the olympus lens be changed underwater?

what is the magnification of the inon lens? (it's listed as 330mm, but what does that translate to in magnification?

thanks in advance

I have tried both the "old" INON lens and the Olympus one. The Olympus one had about 3 times the magnification of the INON. The new INON lens will have a magnification factor about the same as the Oly one. Have you tried super macro mode yet? If not, you might want to try it before adding on a separate lens. In any case, all of the lenses discussed are to be added and removed from the housing underwater . . .

thanks

that's exactly the info i was looking for. have you noticed any deformation at the edges of the frames? not that the subjects would make any bending all that obvious.

thanks again.
