If you are using the Nauticam housing get the Inon H100, it works great with the G16.
Inon UWL-H100 28M67 Type2 Wide Conversion Lens

The S100 is a great lens but requires zooming in to 80mm which reduces your minimum aperture. This lens was designed for cameras with a focal range lower than 24mm. ( The G16 is 28mm)

I am not sure about your statement inon themselves do not recommend that lens. The long zoom of the G series is one of the reasons why the zoom lenses were developed nothing to do with 24/28 mm is the distance between wide and tele of the port that gives poor quality image and fringing that matters

Should I buy a strobe and wide A lens from ebay. Yes they are much cheaper than buying it at other websites but how is the quality. fine on ebay most dealers are from Hong Kong so are they knock offs?
