Q: 2. is it compatible with canon legria HF M506?what differencies between this model and Canon WD-H43 43mm 0.7x Wide Angle Converter Lens ?

A: should work fine if it's a 43mm front filter thread - I have this on my M500's and they are great - very very good lens for the money. I bought a Helder, but it was a LOT more money, a little bit better quality, esp the build, but this lens for under $25 is s steal. - The Canon lens is very nice, but way overpriced for what it is. plus it's only about 1/2 as wide, since it's .7x vs .45x However, at .7x you won't notice any introduction of the fish eye effect, where this one just starts to show that, but is about as wide as you can go without really noticing that.

The Backscatter M52 Wide Angle Air lens is no exception to that. The Air Lens does have larger cutouts on the back plate that does allow water to flow through very easily which in some cases make it unnecessary to burp the lens. With the lens attached to the camera housing, once you re in the water you can shake the camera housing with lens attached, and that should blow off any air bubbles that may have formed on the lens or the housing.
