Canon Macro Lenses

[Vtdiver2]

I have a Canon A85 with the WP-DC30 housing. I want to get some different lenses for it. I've looked online and found some, but am wondering if anyone on the board has had good or bad luck with any brands and would make recommendations. I'd prefer to do a wet change if possible.
Thanks,

Just out of curiosity what were the ones you found?

I'm also curious, but based on numerous reports it seems that the rather unusual shape of the A610/A620 and WP-dc90 lens means that lenses probably won't work it unless some sort of port? is added to the housing first.

Inon supports the WP-DC30 housing with an AD mount to receive external conversion lenses:

I've used an Inon Macro Lens and am pleased with the results........

Inon makes an adapter for your housing. It's a bayonet mount for bayonet lenses. You can use a wide angle and macro lens. The adapter slips over your lens port.

Inons are fabulous. I have two 165 macros and the WAL. Love them.

Can you use the macro lens with the internal flash? In other words does is cast a shadow, or would you need a strobe?
