Is anyone using the XZ-1 in the Olympus housing, and adding 3rd-party wide-angle wet lenses? Such as the Ike W-20 or the Dyron 14mm fisheye? I know there is an Olympus wide-angle lens available, but I am not sure if these other makes play nicely with the Oly housing.

Thanks!

The Ike WP-20 vignettes badly. The smallest idea is the Nauticam Wet Mount wide angle replacement lens. While not a true wide angle lens, it is very small and will get you back to the 28mm FOV you have above water without vignette. The Oly lens works pretty well, some vignette but a veyr wide FOV. But it is large, heavy, and not cheap.

Thanks Jack, just what I wanted to know.

I recommend the Oly wide-angle lens with the XZ-1. Very sharp & wide, and I didn't see any vignetting when I tested it. Good luck! - Scott

I don't have this camera, but according to Reef Photo, the UWL-H100 M67 type 1 should work with the Olympus PT-050 housing:
