Hi,
I'm pretty new to diving and also pretty new to photography but I enjoy it a lot. I have been looking at Wide angle and macro lenses for my WP-DC12 but I think it's too expensive for a beginner. So I just had the idea of using my cheap fotodiox lenses underwater, if I build a holder for them. Has any one tried this and why or why not should it work?
What will the refraction index of water do to the lens if the wideangle lens reduces focal length by 0.5 in air? Will it even be possible to focus?
Are there any air pockets or something that might destroy the lens if used under pressure?
Thanks for any answers
Niclas
