Inon wide-angle add-on lenses for Fuji F30

2 posts
  1. Now that I have finally bought the Inon Z-240 strobe (thanks to many positive comments from this site), I am returning to the topic of the Inon 105AD lens for the Fuji F30.

     

    Is the angle of coverage of this add-on lens (105 degrees) truly wider than the Nikonos 15mm lens (96 degrees, if I recall)?

    Or, is the smaller sensor of the F30 somehow involved in this matter (apologies for not passing the optical physics test here)?

    And secondly, since water is allowed to flow freely between the lens and the housing (as it is a wet-contact lens), is there also the added benefit of the lens being optimised for water, as the Nikonos lenses were, or is the air space between the camera lens and the housing port negating this effect?

     

    I am already very happy with the F30 (in the Fuji housing) with the Inon macro add-on lens, so this is more to do with the wide-angle question.

  2. I have one and the answer is yes. I think you'll like it! The barrel distortion is also about the same as the 15mm.
