E-PL1 with 7-14mm Pictures

[Wisnu]

First time using E-PL1 with wide angle lens Lumix 7-14mm in 10bar housing with semi dome port.
The outer parts is not very sharp probably due to the very small size of dome port.

Here some of the pictures from our trip to Gorontalo and Togean March 2011 - unfortunately not the best viz at the time. Detail trip report can be found in Indonesia forum.
Many thanks for any suggestion and feedbacks.

Last one is fantastic!... what F number did you use? Closing it a bit may help the edges.
I also use the lens distortion correction sw on my 9-18mm lens to gain some improved edge sharpness.

"I also use the lens distortion correction sw on my 9-18mm lens to gain some improved edge sharpness."

Nudibranco,
Many thanks for advise, most the picture inc. the last one is F8 1/60.
Sorry I'm dumb - much appreciated to have more detail about lens distortion correction.
So far, what I did was auto level, auto contrast and remove few backscatter - there's lot of white sands in the water.

WOW!!! These are beautiful.

I've got to get a camera!

I've been using Kodak - Disposable/recyclable waterproof/20m
- Good for memories, and sometimes surprisingly pretty

But nothing like these wonderful pictures.

Thank you.

Not match with the title, for this picture I use 4/3 ED 35mm macro with converter and semi dome port. Unfortunately, there's dirt on the lens, visible on the back of the crab.
