Nauticam Fisheye Conversion Port

Thought I’d share a couple of shots from a dive on the Thistlegorm wreck in the Red Sea - both uncropped - to show the versatility of the FCP. The motorbike is shot at 28mm, the sergeant major is shot at 60mm. I realise the fish shot is nothing amazing, but the ability to cover this range on a dive is exciting.

The negative is the need to use relatively small diameter lenses behind it

This is the reason  because we M43 users are left behind stuck with the discontinued plastic 14-42 mm. Panasonic has not produced any new small diameter lens since then.

RIP M43

You can use a canon 8-15 as almost 2x zoom this is not available on any other formats
It is an amazing option that negates the need for this adapter as the 14-42 is after all an average lens

Sorry for hacking the thread. Specifically I am not interested in the fisheye.
Mine was a more general comment on Alex's statement and the availability of small diameter lenses in the micro four-thirds kit. My WWL-1 can only work with a lens that has been out of production for years, and a bad one at that. Since now the Kit M43 lens is the 12-60 which has a 58 mm diameter I would say we are in a dead end for this system.

PS
What port/dome is needed for the Canon 8-15 mm zoom?

Would a combination of Z8 and FCP be a good choice to upgrade from a 7 year old system ? I’ve been looking to upgrade for some time but wasn’t convinced with previous Nikon mirrorless and not quite used to Sony or Canon.

I may be wrong but I don't think it's been taken UW yet??  All looks good on paper but we should have some reviews in a short while.

A couple of my group had the Z9 with WACP in the Red Sea and the 24-50mm lens. Everyone likes the FCP because it covers such a great range and isn’t too big.

The photo on the top of this page (as it appears in my browser) shows the WACP on the Z9 (the housing has a number 11 on the top of it).

@Alex_Mustard how do they avoid vignetting at the 24mm end? Is there a way to block the zoom gear? 

Is the FCP specifically an underwater corrected optic? Will it focus in air? What I'm really asking is can it do split level shots? 

Regards

Jean.

The optical setup is not finalised yet, but the front element is small, so even if it does, it is not well suited for splits.
