I just got to play around for a couple of hours this weekend with the Epoque version of the Ikelite wide angle lens (same specs and apparently same manufacturer too). I made sure to remove and reinstall the lens underwater to trap the water layer between the flat port adaptor (Ikelite G9 case) and the lens. Problem is even with a significant amount of zoom, only the center 50% or so came in with decent focus. The rest of the picture is blurred big time. I know I can crop to get just the center of the picture, but I'd like to have more in focus.
1) Is my method of burping the air out of the lens correct?
2) Should I use the standard lens instead of the shorter port adaptor?
3) Should I just ignore the fringe blur and just crop things out?
My flight leaves for Cabo Wed morning so hopefully someone can drop me some advice in the meantime. Thanks for the help gang.
