Question about macro and WA lens for my P5000 ikelite housing

[funscuba]

I've been told not to buy the

Inon UWL-100 wide e angle conversion lens (67mm threaded WA lens) as it gives a bad clarity of the pic and that it was meant for other models, is it correct or not ?

He then recommends me M67WA24 ou M67WA20 DYRON, it it the one I should buy or not ?

And for the macro he claims that the UCl67 Dyron ou UCL-165 Inon have same results, correct or not ?

Or what would u recommand me ? A bit lost here.
Thanks for the help !

I do not recall what the lens was, but I purchase the Ikelite WA lens for the same housing/camera and love it. If you look up oin their website the options available to that housing, you will find it. I then went with a Inon Macro lends (do not recall exactly what is was) but have found that I am happier with the WA shots even close up than I am with the macro lens. That is however JMO.


EDIT


http://www.ikelite.com/web_two/w20lens.html is the lens that I have

I would try before you buy anything. The first two WA lenses for my Sony SR12 camera produced blurred edges and had to be returned. I finally got a Sony WA lens made for the camera and have had good results with it. Be careful.

I have the nikon p5100 (nearly the same as the 5000) and the Inon UWL WA lense. I have only used it twice, and am far from an expert. (I also have the ikelite housing - same exact housing as the p5000). I have not experienced the issues you mentioned, reef photo recommend, as did divervision, the inon lense.

Here are links to my photos with this set up, not great, as I am still learning, but you get the idea.

Ok, thanks for that, I'll check if I buy them or not.
