Swap SRP lens underwater

[archiebald]

I saw a comment on the Backscatter website that they are working on a macro lens adaptor.

They are indeed!

They are indeed!

Do you have some inside information that you could share?

 

[JamesK]

Nope. I wish I did. Sterling from Backscatter posted in another thread saying they were working on it, but did not have a firm ETA. I personally can not wait for it. The ability to focus for macro shots would make these little cameras amazing!

If you do this, you will be defeating the purpose of the flat lens. By filling up the space in between the lenses with water, you essentially go back to a domed lens and your camera will not focus properly. The only thing I could suggest is getting a screw in UV filter that allows other filters to be screwed in to it. You could then screw off the outer lens and change it with another. This will however lead to vignetting of your video/picture.

Using a different filter is a great idea, particularly if you want to use a lens cap. HOWEVER*** RTFI and be sure to use the fatter O ring supplied with the Blurfix. Don't ask me how I know this!
