It does 1:1 by itself - add a macro lens and it's even more magnification and less depth of field. From the video you'll recall Alex's most used lens was the flip +3. The issue is you need a moderately powerful lens to use with the 28-60.
So you have the WWL-1 (original) already? that is a little better as it has a tie off point. It is also significantly heavier UW even with float collar as I recall and more of a risk of the whole rig going positive if you remove I would think, so you need to think about that. I don't know if you have ever shot with a positive rig - I did accidentally once and it's not fun and it was only about 100gram positive if that.
Yes, I have the original WWL-1, but with the buoyancy collar, so I think it is roughly neutral. I have taken it off and put it back on underwater many times, to make sure there were no bubbles between the camera and the WWL-1. It has never tried to sink like an anchor nor float off like a cork, either. I also have not noticed (but that could just be my lack of awareness) any real difference in the buoyancy of my rig between diving with the WWL-1 on and not on at all. It seems just a little negative either way (in salt water).
