Brand: Sealife

Located in: Add-On Gear, Photography

The key to great professional-looking photos is getting close to your subject. The SeaLife Wide Angle Lens will increase your field of vision by 50%, which allows you to capture that 5-foot shark from 5 feet away or to fit a group of divers into one frame. You can get as close as 12 inches to your subject to ensure bright, colorful pictures. Easily snaps on and off while underwater.

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL970 Wide-Angle Lens:

Great addition to any Sea Life camera. Used on 5 dives in Maui, one with a proffesional photographer and he even said that the wide angle lense is the most important feature in an underwater camera besides the Strobe.

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL970 Wide-Angle Lens:

Have DC 600 with wide angle lense and digital flash. Have shot thousands of pictures over last couple of years. Lense snaps on easy and has slave cord to prevent dropping in water. Suggest the docking station which is mounted to bottom of base used for flash. Just be careful you remove any air bubbles which sometimes form if mounting lense when above water. Lastly, the only problem I have is rounding of image as lense obscures very corners of pictures. Other than that, a great lense for macros, where digitals take their best pictures.

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL970 Wide-Angle Lens:

Great wide angle. Have taken the same shot with and without the lens...huge difference. Capture alot more in one frame at closer distances. Only negative...it creates dark spots on the very edges of the corners of the frame.

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL970 Wide-Angle Lens:

Used this on my DC500 in Tahiti for snorkeling and diving. Works great, although there is a little bit of vignetting. You can zoom through this, of course. Not a lot of distortion, image quality is great for the price. Would sometimes leak water, causing an air bubble between housing and wide angle lens, but it's an easy fix: just remove lens and reattach underwater (which is probably the correct thing to do anyway).

Comments about Sealife Sealife SL970 Wide-Angle Lens:

This is easy to use underwater, as it pops on and off real quickly. It comes with a chain that connects to the camera so you don't lose it.One problem I've experienced is that it pulls the cap off around the lens on the housing when you pull it off. [...]put a stronger glue on it, and now it works fine.

works well in all areas of depth.
