The 6430.3 highly recommended
WD-3 Wide Angle Dome provides
a wider angle of coverage
underwater without vignetting
(dark shadows in the corners of
the image) or distorted edges that
are typically present when using a
standard wide angle wet lens. The
conversion dome features a 0.75x
conversion factor to correct for the
refractive magnification of a flat port
underwater. At less than 6oz (168g),
the WD-3 is also substantially lighter
weight than the average wet lens
and easier to use.
The WD-3 simply slides over the standard port of the your Ikelite housing.
The WD-3 can be removed and replaced underwater so there is no limit to
the camera’s zoom or macro capabilities. Approximately 3/4 of the camera’s
zoom range can be used with the dome in place (varies by camera model).
The housing port is also designed to accept 3.0-inch diameter color filters,
wide angle lenses such as the Ikelite W-30, or macro options with 67mm
threads.
Vignetting will occur with all 67mm wide-angle accessory lenses and
may be eliminated by either zooming slightly or cropping the image in
post-production.
- Camera’s built-in flash cannot be used with External Accessory Lenses.
- Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.
