I just got my OM-D with a Nauticam housing. I was curious if the Inon wide wet lens would work with the 12-50. I rushed this off this morning on the way to work. I took them outdoor because of available light, it was cold and was a little late to work so I just snapped these off.

I have a couple of questions.

Will the circular ring go away underwater? My LX5 did the same thing on land but I never got around to using the H100 underwater with it.

To me it's hard to tell if the edges are very soft or if they are only out of focus, probably a both. I may try shoot some photos on a flat wall and stop it down a bit more to see how it goes.

At least the combination appears to work.

12mm-50mm @ 12mm F5.6 1/640

12-50 @ 12mm w/H100 28M67 Type 2 F5.6 1/640

as above but cropped

thanks

with the 7d nearing the end of its product life maybe someone wants to part with theirs. I would also be interested in the 45 degree viewer and ports for the 100mm non is and 10-22.

Thanks

I am going to be upgrading before my next trip to Anilao with Scott's group this comng April. For the last 2 years I have been using a Nauticam housing for my LX5. I am primariy interested in macro work. I'm considering equiping my 7d. I also have the 100mm (older non IS) and the 10-22mm. i would prefer to use what I have but know the costs of the ports and domes can easily exceed the cost of the lenses. I don't want to be making any major purchases for some time after this upgrade. It appears that the 100mm IS might be a little better then the non IS version, but from what i have read here there isn't a consenses if the new L is that much better than what i already have, so I may just stick with it. What about the 10-22? The Tokina 10-17mm seems to be the more popular wide angle. Unfortunately it doesn't look like any of the ports or dome for the 10-22 can be used with the Tokina. Do you consider the 10-22 wide enough for general wide angle work?

My other option is to get Olympus OM D and sell off my 7d. This option would initially be more expensive because I would have to purchase the camera and lenses in additon to everything else. I could pay for it by selling the 7d along with my 17-55, 70-200, 100-400, two sigma's 30 and 50mm and the two i mentoned above. As you can see over the years I have collected some nice glass and am apprehensive about switching systems. Does this sound like a crazy thing to do?

Well maintained Nauticam LX5 housing and two LX5 cameras. The housing has about 60 dives on it. One camera has 50 dives and the other is almost brand new, used briefly on land. $1,000 shipped conus. See below for more information and photos.
