Wide angle and macro lens for C5050

Hi!

which company does the wide angle and macro lens for the PT015 housing? any recommendations? and also, can i change the lens underwater? does it require anything else to put on the lens to the housing?

thanks

Re macro, most people seem happy without any addotional lens.

Re, WA the top choices seem to be INON and Olympus although Sea and Sea also makes a WAL for the 5050. All three screw into the threaded port on the front of your camera and all three can be changed underwater.

My preference is INON because you can add a dome port later if you want to. Others say the Olympus is a better lens, but I haven't seen the data.

I would emphasize things a bit differently. "Most people" seem happy without lenses, but there are also plenty of excellent images made possible only with either type around. YMMV depending on your photographic preferences. For overview of available selection, see e.g.
