The design is truly full zoom through, allowing zoom to to be used as a tool for framing, and removable in water for close-up and macro shots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"underline\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eINTRODUCING WET WIDE LENS 1B (WWL-1B) 130 DEG.

These optical systems are engineered entirely as underwater corrective and conversion optics, and not adaptations of in air designs. The process isn't an easy one, but the images captured by WWL-1, WWL-1B and previous Nauticam optical designs prove the effort is well spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZOOM TO FRAME\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWWL-B is a full zoom through lens, performing well through the entire zoom range of popular compacts, Micro Four Thirds systems with power zoom lenses, and the latest full frame Sony 28-60mm f\/4-5.6. This feature distinguishes this lens from all others on the market, which are designed to be used at a single focal length. The ability to be used with zoom makes WWL-1B extremely versatile! A touch of zoom can be used to crop a subject in camera, or for close-up shots without removing the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSTUNNING FIELD OF VIEW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e130 degrees of glorious wide angle coverage, and even a bit wider if your camera system allows it! This is a field of view that sits between the popular full frame fisheye lenses (180 degrees diagonal) and ultra wide rectilinear zooms (approximately 110 degrees). This coverage angle was targeted from the very beginning as an ideal coverage angle for a wide variety of underwater imaging scenarios. Big animals, close focus wide angle shots of reef dwelling creatures, and even mid-range fish portraits are all within the range of WWL-1B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eINCREDIBLE SHARPNESS \u0026amp; CONTRAST\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting edge optical design employed in WWL-1B results in extremely high overall sharpness, contrast, and edge sharpness. The design is optimized for the high resolution sensors of today, as well as the even higher resolutions sensors of tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCLOSE FOCUS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability to focus close is key, and WWL-1B does amazingly well. With all compatible systems at wide angle the lens is able to focus on the front of its dome lens element, maximizing the impact of even small subjects. Amazingly, with the Panasonic 14-42 Power Zoom, the lens is still able to focus on the front of the dome port when zoomed to full telephoto! The best macro images will always be obtained by removing WWL-1B and mounting a macro converter (such as CMC-1 or CMC-2), but in situations where that is difficult close-up shots can still be obtained without removing the wide angle conversion lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCOMPATIBILITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet lenses have traditionally been an accessory geared toward compact cameras, but Nauticam set out from the very beginning to support a wider range of systems, with larger sensor sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost impressive is the outstanding performance available with the full frame Sony A7 series cameras using the Sony 28mm f\/2 Prime lens. In our tests, this combo out-performed all of the Sony wide angle lenses behind dome ports, and is especially well matched to the demanding 61 megapixel sensor in Sony A7R IV. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro four thirds systems used with power zoom lenses are another compelling combination. 130 Degrees on the wide end, with a 3x Zoom Range, and close focus on the front of the dome. This combination is wider, sharper, and has less distortion than the Panasonic 7-14 f\/4 and Olympus 7-14 f\/2.8 lenses behind a dome port. Twist off the lens, and snap on a CMC for high powered macro photography, capturing an image area 22mm (just under 1″) wide!
