Ikelite sells theirs, I know, and it takes a 67mm wide angle lens. Will any other 67mm wide angle lens work? Is this just a regular wide angle lens?

Thank you.
 
Most of the 67mm wide angle lenses I've seen are very similar.

I use the Inon UWL100 Type 2 on my Flip HD Ikelite housing. I know the one by Epoque works as well. The only real difference I've seen is that the Inon can take an additional wide dome port, don't know if the Ikelite or Epoque can...
 
What I mean is, will a regular old 67mm wide angle lens work or is this a specific underwater and pressure wide angle lens?

It has to be an underwater-specific lens, since it'll be sealed and under pressure. A regular 67mm attachment won't work.
 
A 67mm lens won't just screw onto the housing. You need an adapter. The adapter attaches to the housing and the W-20 or INON lens screws into the adapter.
