Dee, Haven't had a chance to try any of these yet. I just found them this morning and I've spent all day trying to stop a construction project that has gone awry. I'll try to check it out this weekend. BTW I know nothing about Virtual Basic Runtime. Maybe someone else can help us. If not I think I know who to ask!!! So do you.TedJ
LOL.....yeah and he'll love it!TedJ:

Thanks, Dee! Glad to provide a little humor now and then. Cameras and their buddies are just fun.
Gilligan, I'm actually planning to upgrade to the 5050, so the Type 2 will come in handy then. All that said, I'm not that dissatisfied with the lens. I actually don't see any vignetting unless I take a photo topside. Underwater I get no vignetting, but get some soft focus in the corners for close shots (which I think the dome port is useful for to get the close focuse WA shots). Anything over 5 feet away and focus seems to be fine. I've attached examples.

marpacifica are you getting any vignetting with the Inon WAL underwater w/o the dome port attachment?
Here's Waldo

What lense were you using? There's alot of blurring around the edges.
I found out today that my S&S WA L lenses has a slight vignetting in the far corners when used on the PT-15. I don't know yet about any blurring. On the PT-10 it didn't produce either one.

Looks like I opened a
with this thread
No....I was simply asking a question. I want to buy another WA so Beast and I both can have one. The S&S works perfectly for the 4040/PT-10. I'm trying to figure out if the Inon does these nasty things, how bad it is, or do I buy another S&S and adjust just a bit
for the black corners. Olympus has already been ruled out.

I need to make some corrections on this issue. I posted this thread over on Digital Diver and one person responded they did indeed have a C4000 with a Type 1 lens.
Mark Rupert of Inon America also responded with a link to Inon's site and a PDF file that explains the thread positon difference on the Type 1 and Type 2 lenses. However, they both are 67mm and do not require an adaptor for the PT-010 if I read his page correctly
HOWEVER, Inon's site also does not specify which Type lens is compatible with which model Oly camera that fits in the PT-010 and that is my whole point.
I corrected the photo on this thread to not show an adaptor for the Type 1 as respects the PT-010.
I have asked Mark Rupert to clarify the camera model dilema.
