Does it work Sea&Sea 16mm ON Canon wp-dc40?

I have searched the forums about that question but nothing seems to exist.

I believe the idea is bad as it will vignette or something worse, but i am unsure. I would like somebody more expert to help me about the correct reasoning or experience.

Thank you in advance.

It is because i can borrow a Sea-Sea 16mm wide angle adaptor for nikonos from a friend and i do not know if it could be a thing to test.

Actually, James wrote a review on this a while back. This was using Inon mounts, though.

If you find that you get vignetting with this setup, you can always use the Photoshop Heal tool to correct this on keepers...

Cheers,

fer_abella,

beside optical match, do you have an idea how to mount the Sea&Sea conversion lens onto the housing? If the 16mm doesn't work / vignet, how about the 20mm, should be cheap on ebay.

The S&S 16mm or 20mm can be used with the WP-DC 40. You'll need the S&S DC300 Conversion ring which must be machined to fit the DC 40 Housing. You'll also need to zoom out beyond the 35mm zoom postion in order to avoid the vignetting effect. We can supply and machine the conversion ring for you if you're interested.

I could be interested

Would i obtain 90% of performance of INON 450$ alternative with a 100$ lens which is also 4 elements in 4 groups, wet changeable and 90+ degrees of coverage?

What about the 5.6 aperture??

Mounting it could be done.

Is performance what interest me as this can not be improved.

If performance were similar to a uwl-100, perhaps i could go that way.
