Rating: Best Fisheye Ever
Reviewer: Karen T.,  - View all my reviews
I love this lens. I usually use the old wide angle lens but his opens up another whole view. It gives you a total 3D look. Making the fish look bigger and still seeing the whole ocean behind your subject. Id recommend it to anyone who has the SeaLife camera. Dez

Rating: Worth every penny
Reviewer: Rick Boyle,   
I purchased this lens to go with my SeaLife DC1400. Ive used it several times now and it has made a huge difference in photo quality, especially with video. It makes the video shot appear steadier, takes advantage of the wide angle already present in the DC1400, lets in more light, and limits the auto focus blurriness that one gets from a digital camera. I will need to invest in diffusers for the strobe and video light to use with fisheye, because they are near useless without them with this lens. It is well made, easy to use, and worth the price.

Sealife Fisheye Wide Angle Lens

Increase the field of view underwater by 80% The Sealife Fisheye Wide Angle Lens gives divers and snorkelers the chance to bring more into their images. It is specifically designed to fit on any Sealife DC series camera and offers divers up to an 80% increase in their captured field of view without changing the camera’s focus range. For the average underwater photographer it allows the diver to get more of their scene into shots clearly. Rather than focusing on an image of a beautiful piece of coral it allows the chance to not only capture that coral but the sponge growing next to it and all the reef fish around as well. This new Fisheye Wide Angle Lens opens up the camera’s available field of view on the DC1400 from the standard 61 degrees to 111 degrees. As with all new underwater photographers for example, the first thing we want to shoot is our dive buddy. And without fail we find that a choice has to be made of capturing a great shot of their upper body, or the subject being shot is so far away that all that is captured is a silhouette. With this lens not only can shots be taken close enough to make out the subject dive buddy clearly, but get the entire diver in the shot! It is designed to attach underwater (don’t forget to purge any air bubble), and stows securely on the Sealife Lens Dock until you need it. Its depth rated to 60 meters and comes complete with a lens dock, a safety lanyard and a padded protective case for when its stowed in your gear between uses. Finally, one of the best features of the lens is that it works equally as well for either still photography or video, so don’t forget to use it with underwater video for some really exciting shots!
