Thanks Brett, but I've gone in a different direction. I bought a Canon SD980IS and an Ike housing. The Canon shoots H.D. video and the native lens is 24 mm. No need for an add-on w/a lens.

If you are using the Pro 8 light in depths of 40 feet or so....is the color correction lens needed? What about more shallow depths with the light as well?

Thanks !!!

Hello TinTrains,

When you are using a light such as the Pro 8 light, it fills in all the missing colors of the spectrum so no filtering is necessary.

When you are shooting at shallower depths, without supplemental lighting, that is when you need a filter to essentially replace those natural colors that have been absorbed by the water column.

But again, if you are using a light, you are replacing the colors, so not an issue.

Hope that helps.
