Ikelite WD-4 for G10 vs G9 with Inon UWL-100

[dwood 0]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Ikelite's WD-4 Wide Angle Dome, particularly as it compares with the Inon UWL-100 (or Ikelite W20) on a G9. According to Ikelite's web site, the WD-4 on a G10 theoretically gives a wide angle view about the same as the G9 with their W20 lens. I was hoping someone had some real-life experience comparing these. My G9 flooded and I'm tempted to move up to a G11 (which should also be able to use the WD-4), but I don't want to lose the wide angle field of view I'm used to with the UWL-100. Thanks

I doubt the UWL-100 will work well with a 28mm lens (G10 / 11) but it does of course work with the G9's 35mm. It can also be upgraded with the dome unit. IMHO, I'd stick with the G9 (get a second hand one of Amazon or Ebay) and the INON glass.

The UWL-100 definately won't work with the 28mm lens of the G10/11 cameras. Certainly an advantage of the UWL-100 is that it can be upgraded with the dome unit. Still, I was wondering how a G9 with a UWL-100 (without the dome port) would compare with a G10 with a WD-4.

Thanks

This is the website I was referring to in my initial post on this topic. What I was wondering about was actual experience with these 2 approaches i.e G9 with Inon UWL-100 (without dome port) vs G10 with WD-4.
