under water macro lens for WP-DC600

[gilles]

Hello,

I'm looking for close-up/macro lens that could be adapted on the WP-DC600 (ixus V) underwater case.

Any hints ?

I found some good pages from canon:

What do you all think of the housing so far? Any good shots yet? I just ordered an Elph S230 (IXUS V3) and may decide to grab the UW housing if I get good enough with the camera.

Looks like for sure they have a macro lense for the housing...wonder if they have a wide?

Thanks for the links, unfortunately the lenses proposed can't fit on this case. Anyway i'm waiting for their answer to know if they have somethin compatible.

I couldn't test the case in real condition (depth), it's still not the good season here to dive :) but in 2-3 weeks I should have some results.

This case is really well designed, all functions are mapped to external push buttons... just need to wait till 30 meters :)

There are many people on the search for ad-on lenses for Canons UW housings. Fortunantly for us there is also a company named Sea & Sea that makes ad-on lenses and an adaptor for this housing. Go to Sea & Sea.com and check it out.
