SeaLife SportDiver Housing 52 & 67mm Lens Adapter
The SeaLife SportDiver Housing Lens Adapter, enables 67mm and 52mm threaded lenses to be mounted to the SportDiver smartphone housing. This means underwater photographer’s can expand their macro and wide-angle creativity by allowing most aftermarket lenses to be used with the SportDiver Smartphone housing.
The SportDiver Lens Adapter SL081 is required to fit the SportDiver 52mm Wide Angle Dome Lens SL054 Available Here
The precision lens adapter, constructed with hard anodized machined aluminium and stainless-steel hardware, mounts directly to the SportDiver’s lens port for a secure, solid fit. The adapter allows for easy horizontal and vertical lens movement adjustments to centre the lens over the phone’s intended shooting lens.
The adapter comes threaded with a 67mm opening for larger-diameter lenses. A 52mm threaded ring is included for attaching smaller 52 mm lenses. For other lenses, a step-up or step-down ring may be obtained through dive photo or photography shops.
SeaLife is also introducing a 52mm 4-element 0.7x wide angle lens that fits onto the Lens Adapter; the new SeaLife 52mm Wide-Angle Dome lens (Item SL054) increases the phone lens shooting angle by 43%, allowing for a closer photography distance and improved edge sharpness.
With the multitude of underwater aftermarket lenses and a wide variety of smartphone lenses available, underwater photographers now have virtually unlimited choices available to them.
SeaLife SL081 Lens Adapter for SportDiver Smartphone Housing recommends using wide-angle lenses with optical magnification between 0.5x and 0.75x, which allows closer shooting distances while fitting the subject into the image frame.
Macro lenses will allow you to get closer to the subject while maintaining image sharpness. Due to the wide variety of smartphone phone lenses in the market, some lens settings may not be compatible.
NOTE: Colour Filters cannot be used on lens port while lens adapter is mounted.
