WFL11 Wide Angle Wet Lens

Description

A small compact camera behind a housing sees less of the scene underwater than on land, and a heavy dome is more than a travel rig needs. The WFL11 is a compact wet lens that screws onto an M52 thread and widens a 24 mm view from 84.1 to 90 degrees, or a 28 mm view from 75.4 to 80.4 degrees. It is designed for small-sensor compacts up to the 1/2-type format with a 24 mm f/1.4 lens, using two elements in two groups behind an optical-grade polycarbonate dome with a multi-layer BBAR coating. At 240 g in air and 80 g in water it adds little to a pocket rig. On a holiday reef dive it widens the frame for a group of divers, on a snorkel it takes in more of the shallows, and in a pool training session it frames a whole skill demonstration. It is rated to 60 m. It suits a compact camera owner who wants a modest, light wide-angle upgrade.
