UWL-95 C24 Wide Conversion Lens Type I (M67)

The next evolution of the WWL-1 is here!   As the versatility and capability of compact cameras increases, Nauticam has developed a smaller and lighter water contact wide angle lens tailored specifically to the compact camera user.  Designed from the ground up to match the compact camera's form factor without sacrificing optical quality, the WWL-C is a powerful addition to not only Nauticam compact housings but also, via an optional adapter, to those from other manufacturers such as the Olympus TG-6 and their PT-059 housing. Introducing Wet Wide Lens for Compact Cameras (WWL-C) With the original Wet Wide Lens, the WWL-1, Nauticam used computer aided lens design software to create an underwater-specific corrective lens that allowed for an unprecedented 130º field-of-view with full zoom-through optics and extreme close focus capabilities.  The WWL-1 wasn't just for higher end cameras that already benefitted from interchangeable lenses to attain better image quality, the WWL-1 was designed to work with a variety of cameras that featured a 28mm equivalent lens including compacts and micro-four thirds.  Delivering a stunningly sharp 130º field-of-view with 24mm equivalent lenses, the WWL-C also features zoom-through capable optics.** The WWL-C features a pre-installed metal buoyancy collar and a non-removable metal dome shade.   The WWL-C will also feature an updated quick-release Bayonet Mount.  Lenses that feature the new Bayonet Mount II will not be compatible with previous Bayonet Mount adapters but all Bayonet Mount lenses will be able to be used with the new Bayonet Mount II Bayonet Mount Adapters without modification.   In the sidebar you will find a list of anticipated housing compatibility along with the supported focal-length range as well as the necessary port configuration for the Bayonet Mount II standard. Compact Housings The WWL-C is designed around the 24mm focal length which is commonly the widest focal length for fixed-lens compact cameras.  While the WWL-1 was also able to deliver 130º field-of-view it required that the camera's lens be zoomed in slightly to 28mm.  With the WWL-C, there's no more need to zoom to avoid vignette!  This also means that more of the camera's zoom range is available.   The new NA-TG6 (17816) for the Olympus Tough TG-5 and TG-6 cameras is WWL-C ready out-of-the-box as it comes with the new Bayonet Mount II converter pre-installed.  With the TG-5 and TG-6 the WWL-C allows for use of the 25-100mm zoom range! For those compact housings with the N50 interchangeable port system, there are new short ports with Bayonet Mount II adapters pre-installed. Configurations for some of the latest models: Sony RX100 VII in the NA-RX100VII use (38705) N50 Short Port 17 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-30mm Canon PowerShot G5X Mark II in the NA-G5XII use (38703) N50 Short Port 25 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-50mm Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 II in the NA-LX100II use (38704) N50 Short Port 22 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-30mm Complete configurations for all supported models can be found on the Port Chart for the WWL-C. Mirrorless M4/3 Housings The WWL-C is not just for compact cameras!  The Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. lens, when used with (36165) N85 Power zoom macro port 29 and the (83250) M67 to bayonet converter II allows for the use of the full 12-32mm zoom range. Mirrorless APS-C Housings Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fuji Mirrorless APS-C can all benefit from the WWL-C.  The Sony SELP1650 E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS offers excellent performance from 17-50mm with only slight vignetting at 16mm.  The compact size of the WWL-C works in tandem with the low profile series of Nauticam housing for Sony's E-mount APS-C series of cameras such as the NA-A6600 and NA-A6400 to provide a travel-friendly package that doesn't compromise optical quality. Adapter for Olympus PT058/PT059 Housings Using the WWL-C with the Olympus PT058 and PT059 Housings for their Tough TG-5 and TG-6 cameras is now also an option with the (83256) Bayonet Mount Converter for Olympus PT058/059. 

  The Fantasea-AOI UWL-09F is the finest wet wide angle conversion lens available. Built from quality materials and featuring the most impressive optic specifications, the UWL-09F delivers stunning results that have no competition.   The UWL-09F wet wide angle lens provides an exceptionally wide field of view and a zero minimal focus distance, allowing to shoot breathtaking wide angle and close focus images that are super sharp corner-to-corner and great on the details. It is perfect for a wide variety of compositions, including seascape, divers, ship wrecks and schools of fish, without moving further away from the subject, thereby still taking full advantage of water clarity and artificial light sources.  The lens mounts on the housing lens port and can be installed and removed during the course of the dive. It can be mounted on 67mm threaded lens ports and other dimensions by using an adaptor.  High Optical Performance  UWL-09F offers unmatched quality with 5 multi-layered precision optic elements (organized in 5 groups). Images captured with the lens are exceptionally detailed and feature impressive overall sharpness. The combination of a super wide field of view (130 degrees) and zero minimal focus distance provide unlimited opportunities for image framing and creative compositions, including close focus wide angle and over-under (half/half) split images. Professionally engineered elements eliminate chromatic aberration. The AR (anti-reflection) coating on all glass elements assists in avoiding lens flare from the sun or artificial light sources.   Durable Construction Lens barrel is made from durable Aluminum alloy with black hard coating. The dome is covered with hard coating as well, protecting it from easily getting scratched or damaged. During development, the lens was thoroughly tested in extreme conditions (depth, temperature, salinity and radiation) to ensure resistance and durability on the long run.  Rotatable Wings Lens wings feature an improved design and can be rotated anytime underwater according to image composition without using any tools. Vertical and horizontal images can be easily captured without having the sun or strobes reflecting on the dome and interfering with crystal clear images. Universal Compatibility The lens features a 67mm thread mount, compatible with most housings available in the market today. Perfect to be used with compact, mirrorless or SLR housings. Two different adaptors are included with the lens, to ensure the best fit with all type of housings, sparing the need to solve ahead any compatibility issues or source additional adaptors separately. The base of the mount is covered with a rubber ring, providing a firm grip of the lens during installation and removal. Its narrow design allows using the lens with most lens holders, adaptors, bayonet mount converters, flip mounts and quick release adaptors. 

The UWL-95 C24 is a completely renewed wide-angle conversion lens for 24 mm (35 mm equivalent) digital cameras.  Features of the UWL-95 C24 The maximum viewing angle is 95° underwater/159° in air (*1). The combination with the optional Super Wide Angle Dome Extension IIIA/Dome Extension IIIG further increases the angle of view underwater up to 141° (*1). The completely renewed optical design effectively avoids flare/ghosting even in backlit conditions to deliver a sharp and high quality image. The UWL-95 C24 is designed to support a large sensor type 1.0 camera with fast prime lens. By using the UWL-95 C24, the minimum focusing distance can be drastically reduced, allowing the subject on the lens to be in focus both on land and underwater. The mounting thread is an M67 mount. The M67 version has two types of Type1 or Type2 with different thread thickness to achieve the optimum performance of the different combined master lenses. Compatible camera systems (as of April 2020) A housing with a port with 6 mm or less clearance between the edge of the lens aperture and the surface of the flat port.
