Best Diopter for Oly 60mm and 12-50mm in Nauticam 65 flat port

[Interceptor121]

I have the +5 Subsea for use with my 60mm and 12-50mm. I really like the flip diopter holder. I also have an Inon +5 that I can screw onto the Subsea but getting a good shot of the critter is very difficult when using the 60mm.

Which is why I suggested stacked diopters. BTW the Inon is +6 and should be screwed to the housing before the subsee. In terms of optical quality the subsee and the Ino UCL100 are the best as they are 3 elements lens or more and have no fringing however if you start with a +10 you really need tiny subjects and it is hard to shoot.
A matter of personal preferences, the fringing aberrations can be easily eliminated through lens correction in lightroom

WOW

I use the 60mm with Subsee +5, and I find that to be not so easy. I figured +10 would be really frustrating. When doing super macro work, do you engage the focus limiter? I tried that once, but then all I saw was large frog fish on that dive.

I don't understand why we may stay stuck to + 5 diopters lense when using the 60 mm Olympus or the 12-50 mm ?? I currently use either the Subsee+10 or the Saga +15 diopters without any problem , except the fact that it is not really easy to use them but no more or less than with my previous Nikon D90 and 85 mm lense ...
For instance this pigmy has been taken with the 60 mm + subsee +10 and the picture is not cropped :

next this Anker schrimp has been taken with the 60 mm + Saga + 15 and I might have more close the aperture to get a better depth of field ...
