Hi all, I'm looking for the most suitable wet wide lens for me and I'll be glad to read your opinion. It is important for me that this lens will support also over-under photography. I'm using canon s100 with Ikelite housing. My options are either the W30 – flat port wide angle lens with x0.59 mag. or the WD3 – a dome port that provides x0.75 mag. Buying both is not an option. I have to pick one. From some research I did it seems that dome port will enable better over-under pictures. In addition the W30 lens cannot be used with full zoom out of the camera due to vignetting while WD3 can and with lower edge distortion. It means that the magnification difference is actually smaller. WD3 is lighter both over and under water and cheaper, but this is less important for me. What do you think? Is what I wrote correct? Are there additional important considerations I missed?
