Underwater Camera Images

I took shots at dark. The camera saw what I could not. It is going to be quite useful in my underwater adventures.

I need this product in my sealife underwater camera

keeps the dreaded underwater camera fog at bay.

g12 is a great upgrade from g10. i use it in an underwater canon housing, it works well w that housing. it is faster than the g10, and images look great.

I utilize this lens in an underwater housing behind a 230mm dome port for fantastic fisheye images of reefs, big animals and above/below water.

I purchased it for underwater photography wide angle images. This lens is incredibly sharp from corner to corner. Especially underwater, if you have to deal with surge and current and hard to take time to focus on the subject. I just aimed the objects with the camera, released shutter and the results were amazing. It is totally worth the money you spent. I switched my system from Nikon to Canon and it is considerably bulkier and longer than 16 mm Fisheye Nikkor.

This lens is absolutelly marvellous. It is razor sharp from f2.8 to f7.1 (the sweet spot is f4-5.6), very usable to f16-18 and, if you need super sharp images you should avoid f20-22. Comparing to Olympus 60mm, that I also own, this lens is significantly sharper and holds it's sharpness better for a wider apperture range. The Olympus is also a very good lens and produces fantastic images, but there is something about this Panasonic that gives that extra wow factor, specially in super macro images. Both Panasonic and Olympus macro lenses are better than the highly appreciated and award winnig Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, which I also own. I've been using the Panasonic (and Olympus) for underwater photography, and I strongly recomend it. The difference in focus distance to 1:1 when compared to Olympus is 2cm and could be a down side when shooting supermacro with wetdiopters. My experience says that this is not significant even with +15 diopters (the focus difference between the two at maximum amplitude is about 5mm). There is a slight advantage in the Olympus if you need more distance, and the same magnification to make the photo, on the other hand the hyperfocal distance of the Panasonic is smaller which is an advantage for underwater pics. The focus hunt that some complain about does not differ significantly from other macro lenses. Manual focus, although by wire, is really nice to use and far better than the one from Olympus. On the other hand the 1:1 lens button from Olympus is fantastic for land macro photography (not usable underwater). My veredicto is that the Panasonic is a fantastic investment.

I highly recommend this if you have an underwater camera and want to make sure you don't lose it.
