Ikelite WD-3 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome Port for 3.0" Lens Port Housing

When capturing the vastness of underwater landscapes, the WD-3 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome Port offers an unparalleled photographic experience. Designed to expand your field of view, this dome port provides an impressive wider angle of coverage, allowing photographers to capture expansive underwater scenes without the common drawbacks of distortion or vignetting. This means that the edges of your images will be as clear and sharp as the center, with no dark shadows diminishing the quality of your photographs.

Weighing in at a featherlight less than 6 ounces (168 grams), the WD-3 stands out as a remarkably lightweight accessory compared to traditional wet lenses. Its ease of use is a significant advantage for underwater photographers who need to maneuver and adjust their equipment swiftly and efficiently.

The WD-3 Wide-Angle Dome is ingeniously designed to slide seamlessly onto the standard port of Ikelite housings. This means there's no need for complicated modifications or replacements of the housing's original port, saving you time and hassle. Its user-friendly design also allows for the dome to be removed and reattached underwater, ensuring that there's no compromise to your camera's zoom or macro capabilities. With the WD-3, approximately three-quarters of the camera's zoom range remains usable, although this may vary depending on the camera model.

To address the issue of refractive magnification caused by flat ports when shooting underwater, the WD-3 features a 0.75x conversion factor. This critical adjustment corrects the magnification, ensuring that your images remain true to size and perspective.

Compatibility is key, and the WD-3 Wide-Angle Dome is designed to fit any Ikelite housing with a 3.0-inch diameter lens port. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile choice for a range of underwater photographers, from hobbyists to professionals.

In summary, the WD-3 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome Port is an essential tool for those looking to enhance their underwater photography with wider, distortion-free images, lightweight handling, and seamless integration with Ikelite housings. Whether you're capturing the dynamic play of light beneath the waves or the intricate details of marine life, the WD-3 will help you achieve breathtaking results with clarity and ease.
