The Backscatter M52 Underwater Wide-Angle Wet Lens was designed with Olympus TG series cameras in mind. With a 120° angle of coverage, sharp corners, and no vignetting at 24mm, this lens is the perfect combination for the first-time wide-angle shooter with a TG camera. Shipwrecks, stingrays, sharks, reefs, and divers are the subjects where you need a wide-angle lens. Getting wider allows you to get closer to your subject while still maintaining a wide field of view, and it increases the clarity and contrast of your image. The Backscatter M52 wide-angle wet lens was designed to be used with 24mm equivalent cameras.

Depth Rated to 330'    120° Underwater Field of View    Sharp Corners, No Vignetting    Antireflection Coating

Q: 1. Can 67mm rubber lens hood be used in Sony FE24 - 70 mm. F4.0 ZA without Vignette?

A: This hood on the Sony FE24 - 70 mm. F4.0 ZA and a full frame camera will not vignette. We would however, like to suggest considering the following as a more useful hood. Dot Line Tele-Wide 67mm Lens Hood B&H # DODL92967. You will have to adjust the hood at different focal lengths. This we find more useful at 70mm than the wide angle hood. And don't forget the Sony ALC-SH130 Lens Hood B&H # SOALCSH130 which has that OEM look and practability.

Q: 7. I need to know if this Fantasea UWL-09F wet lens will work for surf photography/above water? I wasn't able to find the info from the related question below. If someone can give me a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a Sony RX100 VA camera.

A: The Fantasea Line UWL-09F Underwater Wide-Angle Conversion Lens is designed to be used underwater. If you try to use it for surface shooting you will get too much distortion and the images will not be sharp. For surf surface images you need to use a mirrorless camera or DSLR with a wide lens and dome port on the housing.
