The Backscatter M52 Wide-Angle Lens for Olympus PT Housingsis a wet-mount wide-angle conversion lens designed to work best with Olympus TG series cameras in PT-056, PT-058, and PT-059 housings. The lens cancels out refraction and restores the camera's topside field of view underwater while also enhancing the image clarity, sharpness, and contrast. With an 81° angle of coverage, sharp corners, no vignetting at 24mm, and an easy-to-use 52mm threaded mount, this lens is perfect for both veteran and new wide-angle underwater photographers. It's the most versatile lens for shooting both macro and wide-angle on the same dive with the Olympus TG-5 or TG-6 because you never have to remove the lens.

Q: 5. I have the Ikelite 200DLM/A for the Sony A6500. Will this port work with that housing, and what other accessories would I need to use it with a Sigma 16mm Contemporary lens?

A: Unfortunately this is not the correct port for that housing. The correct dome is the Ikelite DLM Dome Port V2 (8") linked here. https://bhpho.to/30MzVKK. BH #IK551682 • MFR #5516.82. This can be used directly on the housing or together with the Ikelite DLM 1.6" Flat Lens Port Extension linked here. https://bhpho.to/2Q4ivXK. BH #IK5516.67 • MFR #5516.67. Using the extension is recommended but not necessary.

Q: 6. Will this work with the Sony - FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM Wide-Angle Zoom? If not what specific extension do I need. I didn't find it on the chart. Please help me find.

A: This is the preferred dome for this lens. This Larger dome is best for split shots (half-in, half-out of the water). There is also a compact dome option which is better for traveling light. The BH #IK75344 • MFR #75344 linked here. https://bhpho.to/3068KtX. Either option would need these 2 extensions. B&H # IK75028 MFR # 75028 linked here https://bhpho.to/3bagtxj. And BH #IK75050 • MFR #75050 linked here. https://bhpho.to/3qezPWq. And this would be the Zoom Gear for it. BH #IK550916 • MFR #5509.16 linked here. https://bhpho.to/3032Tpk.
