Wide/fisheye lens and housing for the RX100 mk IV?

  1. my comments were for video. You can't really use a dome as the RX100 don't white balance and you need a push on filter

     

    For stills you can try. Split shots are difficult with a compact and a small dome plus you need to seal the wet lens

  2. Have you found a good method to seal a wet lens?

    ah, now i see - the rx100 iv does allow custom white balance only in photomode, not in video - what a pitty. But still, one can correct the white balance in post? Of course it is better to do it before, but it is possible to do it in post - or am i missing something?

     

    forgive me my newbieness, but which kind of filter do you need for a dome?

  4. We are taking about video before you can't put anything else than a filter in the housing with a dome. The rx100 custom white balance in water is crap and produces horrible results

  5. If it is designed for 35 May vignette depending on the size of the rear lens

    The Nikonos 35 mm has the same effective focal length as a 28 mm lens, if I remember correctly.

    The RX100 can film video with manual WB ( not in video mode though).

    All you have to do is use the P or M mode, custom white balance and press the Video button. ( No need to turn the wheel to the video mode. .....)

  7. OK so far it looks like the more popular option is the Dyron Super Wide Angle

     

    I'm also interested in Fish eye. The only interesting option i found is this one

    UWL-04 Fisheye conversion wetlens

    I cannot find any sample and feedback with the RX100 ( besides M67 step-down adapter is necessary)

     

    What result to expect ? Possible vignetting ?

    I battered this topic to death. All the fix, dyron etc have poor quality with the RX100 the best bet is the Nauticam WWL-1 is you want to take pictures.

    For video a rectilinear lens is preferred I use the old UWL-100 for 4K and the newer UWL-H100 for HD because they take a push on filter

    The RX100 manual white balance is not worth it filters are the way to go
