I am building a low budget u/w camera system based on Canon G16, which I purchased cheaply as an open box item.
I consider getting a Chinese Meikon housing (see below), which may look very similar to the Canon housing, but has a 67mm lens thread in the center and you can get it for $200, or even less.
I am now looking at trying to find an inexpensive, and by that I mean $300 or less, wide angle lens that will physically fit this housing and be otherwise a good match for the camera. I am a relatively inexperienced photographer and do not know what to expect from a fish eye lens with certain parameters.
I was thinking perhaps one of these Dyron lenses would work: Wide Angle Lenses | DyronStore | Underwater accessories
Or something like this: Fantasea Line Water Sports Photo Products & Accessories- BigEye Lens M67 Mark II
