Selling my INON UWL-100 lens. Purchased new in March 09, used once on a trip to Roatan in June. Completely as-new condition, not a scratch or mark anywhere. Both lens caps included.
Went on a photography buying spree before my trip, but quickly discovered I have no idea what I was doing. I am now scaling back to only the things I need.
This is the Type 2 lens, please ensure this is the correct lens for your needs.

The UWL-100 Achromat Type II is a wide angle conversion lens with 100 degree maximum view angle. It is designed to provide optimum optical performance with certain camera/housing combinations.
The Type II lens can be mounted directly to the front of housings having a 67mm threaded front port ring. Or, an INON "M67 Mount Base" can be used to attach the UWL-100 to housings without a 67mm threaded port.
Note: For optimum optical performance, some housings should use a UWL-100 Type I lens, not a Type II lens.
Features:
- The UWL-100 is designed to perform equally well both underwater and above. Underwater it is an extreme wide-angle converter, in air it is a fisheye converter. (Underwater view angle 100.5°) With the optional "Dome Lens Unit for UWL-100°", an attachment dome to fit over the UWL-100, it is possible to achieve even wider underwater angle of view, close to that currently possible on land.
- In addition to enabling extreme wide angle of view, the optical design of the UWL-100 allows closer focusing distances so better "wide-macro" (close focus wide angle) photography is possible.
- The lens is constructed of high quality optical glass with multi-layer anti reflective coating on both sides. Five lens elements are arranged in four groups with achromatic doublets to correct for chromatic and spherical aberration. By design, the UWL-100 minimizes aberration to achieve master lens performance.
