The SeaLife Fisheye Wide-Angle Lens for DC Series Cameras is a dome-shaped, super wide-angle underwater conversion lens for all DC series SeaLife cameras. It allows you to get very close to your subject while still fitting a substantial amount of the background in the frame. It has a distortion effect that can enlarge subjects close to it and stretch the scene out to the edges of the lens. It also has a depth rating of 200' (60 m).
The fisheye increases your field of view by 80%. Consider that the lens of the DC1400 underwater camera already has a wide-angle 26mm focal length, and you'll realize the impact this fisheye can have on the perspective you're able to capture in your shot. The lens has a 16mm effective focal length when used on the DC1400, and is equipped with fully multi-coated precision optics for maximum light transmission.
The fisheye can easily be attached and removed underwater, and works well above-the-surface, too. Neoprene lens covers for both ends, a safety retaining lanyard, and a Lens Dock for mounting the lens under your flash for storage are included.
