Fantasea UWL-09 PRO Wide Angle Lens
Read our In Depth Review with Test Images
The Fantasea UWL-09 PRO Wide Angle Lens stands out as an excellent option for a wide range of compact and mirrorless systems. It boasts a generous 130-degree field of view and features a 67mm mounting type.
This lens provides the convenience of full zoom-through capability, allowing you to capture shots at any focal length on your camera. This flexibility sets it apart from many other wet wide-angle lenses, which are often limited to the wide end. With the UWL-09 PRO, you can effortlessly switch between wide and portrait-style photos underwater without the need to remove the lens.
Moreover, the lens comes with two adapter options. The A adapter is pre-installed on the housing and is compatible with any 67mm threaded camera. Alternatively, the B adapter is available for use with housings that allow the lens to sit closer to the front of the port, such as those with deeper threads or a setup away from the port glass.
Adapter Recommendations by Housing Brand:
Adapter A:
- Nauticam
- Fantasea w/ 67mm Threads - RX100 III / IV / V & G7X Mark II
- Recsea Aluminum*
Adapter B:
- Ikelite
- Recsea CW
- Recsea Aluminum*
* The Recsea Aluminum housings can accept the B Adapter, which does provide slightly less vignetting on the G7X Mark II - meaning you can get a tiny bit wider than 130°. However this adapter will only screw onto the housing about 3/4ths of a turn, so it may not be as secure as the A adapter which attaches with several full rotations. Use at your own risk!
