Hi there

I just had the opportunity to by a used fisheye lumix g 3.5 lens with the N85 140mm Optical Glass Fisheye Port. I was now wondering if I can use my wide angle lens from Olympus 9-18mm in the same port. I tested it on land and it looks fine. But maybe somebody used this combination under water and can tell me about their experience..

I'm heading to Triton Bay in a few weeks and hope to reduce my camera gear at least a little bit. I can't walk around naked even if it's a remote island ;-)...

Tipps are most welcome!

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Andreni
 
Hi Andreni
The curvature of the glass on the N85 140mm Optical Glass Fisheye Port will be to big. The 9-18mm lens will not focus correctly, this lens requires a port with much less curvature.
 
Thanks a lot Jeff! I wasn't sure because on land it seems to work...

How about using the Nauticam 4'33 with an additional ring for the wide-angle Panasonic lens 9-18mm? Would this work?

Cheers
