Swingaway diopter lenses on a G10/Ikelite?

[WOODMAN]

Okay, more questions... I have an old Inon UCL 165 M67 screw on diopter macro lens that I used to use on my old C5050, and I would like to add it to my G10/ Ikelite setup. It obviously won't screw onto the Ikelite port, but I am looking into putting a SubSee lens adapter on which will possibly hold the Inon lens in place. (I have an email out to Reefnet asking about this at present.) I do like the swingaway capability, and would like to get some use out of my old Inon lens. I suppose the alternative would be to get one of Reefnet's SubSee lenses to go with this, or (shudder) one of those cheap little MacroMate rigs. $$$$ Anybody have any experience with this type of foolishness? As usual, I'm all ears. Thanks. Woody

The reefnet option is going to cost you a bit more then other options but the swing away capability is nice. I too shoot a G10/Ikelite setup and while I'd love to have a subsee, I opted for this cheaper solution which accommodates 67mm threaded lenses: Ikelite - 67mm Macro Lens Adapter for 3.9" Ports - 9306.82
It doesn't swing away but if you have a bellows pocket it will fit nicely in there when not in use.

I have my G10 in a canon housing and love using the subsee +10 with it.... having that swing away system is a lot easier than having to take time to get the lens out and screwed onto a port.

Hunh- I didn't even know this existed. Well, I would still prefer the swingaway mount, I think, so the inquiry goes on. How does this type of setup actually work for you guys? Woody

These 3 were taken with my G10, Inon s200o and subsee +10 off of Dominica week before last.
