0.36x Wide Angle Conversion Port (WACP-1B) with interchangeable port ring (N120/N100)

The WACP is a 0.36x Wide Angle Conversion Port. Unlike traditional ports or wet-mate corrective wide-angle optics, the WACP is a "dry" corrective optic that modifies a 28mm equivalent lens to an extremely sharp 130º.

FOCUS The WACP can focus from its front element to infinity in-water allowing for extremely close-focus wide angle shooting. When used with certain zoom lenses, the WACP can provide a variety of field-of-view options. Buoyancy Collar An aluminum float collar is standard and brings the in-water buoyancy 0.32kg negative. Compatible Lenses The WACP is designed to function at the full-frame equivalent focal length of 28mm. A wide variety of lenses are supported, both primes and zooms for Nikon, Canon and Sony as well as Super35 Cinema Systems. Please check the PORT CHART for supported lenses and suggested configurations as some lenses will require extension rings or Adapters.

INTRODUCING 0.36X WIDE ANGLE CONVERSION PORT SET WITH ALUMINUM FLOAT COLLAR FOR SIGMA 18-35MM F1.8 FOCUS The WACP can focus from its front element to infinity in-water allowing for extremely close-focus wide angle shooting. When used with certain zoom lenses, the WACP can provide a variety of field-of-view options. BUOYANCY COLLAR An aluminum float collar is standard and brings the in-water buoyancy 0.32kg negative. COMPATIBLE LENSES This version is specific to the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art Lens. For other lenses, supported by WACP version 85201 please refer to the corresponding PORT CHART.

The WACP-1 has set the standard for what is possible when cutting-edge lens design is applied to underwater imaging, delivering an ultra-sharp 130º field-of-view close-focus low-distortion corrective optic.  While the WACP-1 was designed to work primarily with 28mm equivalent lenses, the WACP-2 is optimized to work with 14mm lenses to produce an unparalleled 140º field-of-view while maintaining full zoom-through optical capability.   Introducing 0.57X Wide Angle Conversion Port 2 (WACP-2) The WACP-2 is also able to focus in air, making it an even more capable imaging tool adding the ability to capture over-under images and even filming topside in wet environments.  WACP-2 maintains the exceptional close-focus characteristics of the WACP-1. The WACP-2's zoom-through capabilities means the underwater filmmaker or photographer can capture establishing, medium and close-up shots all with one lens while maintaining optimum optical and close-focus performance.  Take for instance the Nikkor Z 14-30mm F/4 S lens which receives a field-of-view range of 81º to 140º with the WACP-2.  This lens allows for acquisition of more dynamic content on each and every dive without the need for a second camera. A radical new shade design allows for extending the shade out past the front element at longer focal lengths or during transport to further protect the dome while at wider focal lengths it cantilevers towards the outside to prevent vignette. The WACP-2 is sure to be the uncompromising underwater image maker's tool of choice when looking for maximum optical quality, flexibility and performance.  COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION Full Frame Canon EF Mount Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM (AOV Range 128°-72°) Canon EF 16-35mm  f/2.8L II USM (AOV Range 128°-72°) Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM (AOV Range 128°-72°) Full Frame Canon RF Mount Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM (AOV Range 133°-72°) Full Frame Nikon F Mount Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8 IF ED (AOV Range 123°-72°) Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR (AOV Range 128°-72°) Full Frame Nikon Z Mount Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S (AOV Range 140°-81°) Full Frame Sony FE Mount Sony SEL1635GM FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM (AOV Range 128°-72°) Sony SEL1635Z Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS (AOV Range 128°-72°) This table is constantly being expanded.

The WACP-1 and WACP-2 have raised the bar on what is possible in underwater optics. They offer the maximum in image quality with the widest angle of view available in a rectilinear lens.  Nauticam is now excited to release the next iteration of WACP, the WACP-C.  The Wide Angle Conversion Port Compact (WACP-C) is a fraction of the weight and size when compared to the WACP-1 and WACP-2.  When looking at volume, the WACP-C is approximately 37% smaller than WACP-1 and 75% smaller than WACP-2.  NAUTICAM WIDE ANGLE CONVERSION PORT COMPACT (WACP-C) Like the WACP-1 and WACP-2, the WACP-C is a dry mount lens design, functioning as both a port and optical lens. It is optimized to work with professional camera lenses up to a full-frame equivalent focal length of 28mm and offers an amazing 130° angle of view.  The WACP-C can focus as close as the front element and captures images with minimal distortion. A wide variety of lenses are supported, both primes and zooms for a variety of cameras. Please check the WACP-C PORT CHART for supported lenses and suggested configurations as some lenses will require extension rings or adapters. This image from Alex Mustard was shot with the Nikon 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D and WACP-C.  Similar to WACP-1, the WACP-C greatly improves the overall image sharpness.  The WACP-C will provide approximately 3 f-stops of increased corner sharpness when compared to traditional wide rectilinear lenses with a similar field of view behind a dome port.  This means being able to achieve about the same corner sharpness with WACP-C at f/5.6 that you could achieve with your rectilinear lens behind a dome port a f/16.  As a point of comparison, WACP-1 provides approximately 4 f-stops of increased corner sharpness This image from Alex Mustard was shot with the Nikon 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D and WACP-C The WACP-C's zoom-through capability means the underwater filmmaker or photographer can capture astonishing wide, medium and close-up shots all with one lens while maintaining optimum optical and close-focus performance. Take for instance the Sony 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens which receives a field-of-view range of 69º to 130º with the WACP-C. This lens allows for acquisition of more dynamic content on each and every dive without the need for a second camera. This image from Alex Mustard was shot with the Nikon 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D and WACP-C
