Going to see some whale sharks and wanted to get a fisheye wet lens for my dc1200. Anyone make one or does someone have an adapter?
 
hi rick i use a fisheye lens on my DC1200, it's a fantasea one, for the adaptor I made one out of 2x macro lens, removed the lens part and the fisheye lens will screw straight in with a 46mm-37mm adaptor ring,
the lens is a BigEye Lens M46
got the lens of Ebay also the Sealife 2xmacro lens of ebay as well. one advantage with this lens is that you have have you camera set on macro to use the lens so no change required when you going to take a macro shot just take the lens of and shoot
 
Rumor is that sealife is coming out with a fisheye lens

Thanks shayne: does the macro lens unscrew from the plastic housing or do you pry it out of there? I got the 3xmacro today and it looks like its in there pretty good
 
rick the one i got the front screwed off then you can remove the lens and screw that outer ring back in place.
 
I was going to buy myself the parts to make the DIY fisheye lens that Wayne described (thanks for the info) for my DC1200, but now that Sealife has officially teased us I will have to wait and see before I buy my next Bday present!

Come on Sealife, we are eagerly awaiting!
