With SeaLife’s SportDiver Lens Adapter, 67mm and 52mm threaded lenses can be mounted to the SportDiver smartphone housing, allowing underwater photographers to expand their macro and wide-angle creativity by using most aftermarket lenses with the SportDiver Smartphone housing.

The precision lens adapter, constructed with hard anodized machined aluminum and stainless-steel hardware, mounts directly to the SportDiver’s lens port for a secure, solid fit. It allows easy horizontal and vertical lens movement adjustments to center the lens over the phone’s intended shooting lens. The adapter features a 67mm opening for larger diameter lenses and includes a 52mm threaded ring for attaching smaller 52mm lenses. For other lenses, a step-up or step-down ring can be obtained through dive photo or photography shops.

SeaLife is also introducing a 52mm 4-element 0.7x wide-angle lens that fits onto the Lens Adapter; the new SeaLife 52mm Wide-Angle Dome lens (Item SL054) increases the phone lens shooting angle by 43%, allowing for a closer photography distance and improved edge sharpness.

With the multitude of underwater aftermarket lenses and a wide variety of smartphone lenses available, underwater photographers now have virtually unlimited choices. SeaLife SL081 Lens Adapter for SportDiver Smartphone Housing recommends using wide-angle lenses with optical magnification between 0.5x and 0.75x, which allows closer shooting distances while fitting the subject into the image frame.

Macro lenses will allow you to get closer to the subject while maintaining image sharpness. Due to the wide variety of smartphone lenses on the market, some lens settings may not be compatible.

NOTE: Color filters cannot be used on the lens port while the lens adapter is mounted.
