Adding macro and wide angle lens to S95

[Interceptor121]

I remove the wide angle when I have to shoot a macro and replace it with a diopter
If the weight or size of the lens is such that I can't complete the operation safely with one hand then I am not comfortable in currents or difficult conditions
Taking a pouch in and out a pocket requires two hands whilst using a lens caddy only requires one
Still the effort of unscrewing the lens, screwing it on the caddy unscrewing the diopter and screwing this on the port means 4 operations on threads for a single shot the lens being heavy doesn't help either
Compare this with taking lenses on and off a bayonet mount and them you can see you will miss less photo opportunities

Buoyancy arms are a huge help as well for this kind of set-up to stop the weight of the lens tipping the camera housing forward. Stix or INON make great ones. I tried one out a couple of weeks ago, completely brilliant.

Best of luck and look forward to seeing some photos.

I just sent addyngan a couple of STIX normal and jumbo floats that will adapt well to his set up
Not sure if he got a wide lens but those floats can definitely be arranged so that his camera+arm+tray+strobe is neutral

The lens remains an heavy item and requires its own float. I have modified a STIX one and now I also have designed a custom one however the lift is moderate
