0.36x Wide Angle Conversion Port (WACP-1)

The WACP is a 0.36x wide-angle conversion port.  Unlike conventional ports or corrective wide-angle optics, the WACP is a "dry" correction optic that modifies a 28 mm äequivalent lens to an extremely sharp 130º  .

The WACP can focus from the front element to infinity in water, enabling extremely close-focus wide-angle photography.  When used with certain zoom lenses, the WACP can provide a variety of field-of-view options. Buoyancy Cuff A permanently integrated aluminium buoyancy collar is standard and reduces downforce in the water to 0.32 kg.  Compatible lenses The WACP is designed to work with a  equivalent full frame focal length of 28mm.  A wide range of lenses are supported, both fixed focal lengths and zooms for Nikon, Canon and Sony as well as Super35 Cinema Systems. Please contact us for supported lenses and recommended configurations as some lenses require extension rings or adapters.

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.
