Lens Nauticam Wide WWL-1C (Bayonet)

Lens Nauticam Wide WWL-1C (Bayonet)

Wet Wide Lens 1C (WWL-1C) 130 deg. FOV with compatible lenses (incl. float collar)

The next evolution of the WWL-1 is here! As the versatility and capability of compact cameras increases, Nauticam has developed a smaller and lighter water contact wide angle lens tailored specifically to the compact camera user. Designed from the ground up to match the compact camera's form factor without sacrificing optical quality, the WWL-C is a powerful addition to not only Nauticam compact housings but also, via an optional adapter, to those from other manufacturers such as the Olympus TG-6 and their PT-059 housing.

Introducing Wet Wide Lens for Compact Cameras (WWL-C)

Compact Housings

The WWL-C is designed around the 24mm focal length which is commonly the widest focal length for fixed-lens compact cameras. While the WWL-1 was also able to deliver 130º field-of-view it required that the camera's lens be zoomed in slightly to 28mm. With the WWL-C, there's no more need to zoom to avoid vignette! This also means that more of the camera's zoom range is available.

The new NA-TG6 (17816) for the Olympus Tough TG-5 and TG-6 cameras is WWL-C ready out-of-the-box as it comes with the new Bayonet Mount II converter pre-installed. With the TG-5 and TG-6 the WWL-C allows for use of the 25-100mm zoom range!

For those compact housings with the N50 interchangeable port system, there are new short ports with Bayonet Mount II adapters pre-installed.

Configurations for some of the latest models:

• Sony RX100 VII in the NA-RX100VII use (38705) N50 Short Port 17 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-30mm
• Canon PowerShot G5X Mark II in the NA-G5XII use (38703) N50 Short Port 25 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-50mm
• Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 II in the NA-LX100II use (38704) N50 Short Port 22 with Bayonet Mount with a usable zoom range of 24-30mm
• Complete configurations for all supported models can be found on the Port Chart for the WWL-C.

Mirrorless M4/3 Housings

The WWL-C is not just for compact cameras! The Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO

• 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. lens, when used with (36165) N85 Power zoom macro port 29 and the (83250) M67 to bayonet converter II allows for the use of the full 12-32mm zoom range.

Mirrorless APS-C Housings

Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fuji Mirrorless APS-C can all benefit from the WWL-C. The Sony SELP1650 E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS offers excellent performance from 17-50mm with only slight vignetting at 16mm. The compact size of the WWL-C works in tandem with the low profile series of Nauticam housing for Sony's E-mount APS-C series of cameras such as the NA-A6600 and NA-A6400 to provide a travel-friendly package that doesn't compromise optical quality.

ADAPTER FOR OLYMPUS PT058/PT059 HOUSINGS

Using the WWL-C with the Olympus PT058 and PT059 Housings for their Tough TG-5 and TG-6 cameras is now also an option with the (83256) Bayonet Mount Converter for Olympus PT058/059.
