Get up close and fit more in the frame when photographing coral reefs, whale sharks, or schools of fish by adding Fantasea Line's UWL-09F Underwater Wide-Angle Conversion Lens onto your camera housing. Equipped with a 67mm mounting thread, the accessory lens is compatible with many ports on housings from various brands. Easily attached underwater, it increases your coverage significantly, offering a 130° angle of view when used with a 28mm camera lens.

I need to know if this Fantasea UWL-09F wet lens will work for surf photography/above water? I wasn't able to find the info from the related question below. If someone can give me a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a Sony RX100 VA camera.
The Fantasea Line UWL-09F Underwater Wide-Angle Conversion Lens is designed to be used underwater. If you try to use it for surface shooting you will get too much distortion and the images will not be sharp. For surf surface images you need to use a mirrorless camera or DSLR with a wide lens and dome port on the housing.
The following would work great for surface surf photos:
Fantasea Line FA6500 Underwater Housing and Sony Alpha a6500 Camera Body Kit. This includes the camera and housing: https://bhpho.to/2Rnuxbd
Sony E 16mm f/2.8 Lens (Silver) is a good wide lens: https://bhpho.to/2bXJ8q1
Sony VCL-ECF2 Fisheye Converter For SEL16F28 and SEL20F28 will convert the 16mm to a fisheye lens: https://bhpho.to/2ZzS1N8
Fantasea Line 6" FML Dome Port A6 for Sony E 10-18mm f/4 or 16mm f/2.8 Lens is the dome you need to put on the housing: https://bhpho.to/2XiUeiR
Fantasea Line FML Port Extension 25 has to go between the dome and the housing: https://bhpho.to/2MZiQZT
Fantasea Line Light-Shielding Pad for Sony E 16mm f/2.8 Lens in Underwater Port will prevent reflections: https://bhpho.to/2IVbUrp

question
No specs are published. Will this work with the Sony housing for the RX100-V? I understand that it will fit (67mm) but what sort of results should be expected?
The Fantasea Line UWL-09F Underwater Wide-Angle Conversion Lens when used on the Sony Underwater Housing for RX100-Series Cameras with the Sony RX100 V you will get a 140° angle of view without vignetting.

question
Will it work for even compact cameras (Canon g9x)? Or it has to be with a specific SRL camera?
I assume you have Fantasea FG9X HousingIf yes, it will fitYou might want to start with the BigEye item #5138, it is about $500 cheaper uless you are really into wide angleRegards Fantasea [email protected]
