Canon G3

Hi, according to the Ikelite's website, wide-angle

lenses (Inon or Sea+Sea) cannot be used with their

housing for Canon G3 because of vignetting. Does

anybody have any idea if this is a problem

intrinsic to the camera, so one can't even hope

for it to be solved, or some other housing / lens

may be OK?

(I'm new to U/W photography; shopping for a new

camera and my first housing. G3 is my first choice

for a camera, to be used mostly in air and only

occasionally U/W. Ikelite's seems to be the only

housing available, at least for a tolerable price,

but I'd like to be able to experiment with a

wide-angle lens.)

Would be grateful for any advice

mmm

P.S. Want G3 over S45/S50 because of its bigger

lens (needs less powerful, cheaper strobe) + its

continuous AF.

Hi mmm

sorry but where did you see this vignetting story on Ikelite's web site? I cannot find it !

(and I am interested in purchasing a W/A lens for my G2... I am concerned!!)

Thanks

See http://ikelite.com/web_pages/5can_g3.html

It only relates to G3, their G2 page doesn't mention

such a problem.

mmm

In fact there is no vignetting with G2. Only with G3.
