Being a wet lens this is an easy change underwater when shooting macro down deep, then moving to wide angle in mid and top water.
Using flat port reduces vignetting although there is still some present. Easily editable although other lens reduce vignetting to virtually nil.

Ikelite should state that in which cameras this lens works. I have Ikelite housing for Canon HV20 and lens produces horrible fuzzy image on the edges. Reason is that it is impossible to get lens close enough of camera.
There should be clear statement that which housings and cameras work with this lens.

Comments about Ikelite W-20 Underwater Wide Angle Conversion Lens:
I added this to my Ikelite 6093 (fo rthe Canon Vixia HF M-41) video housing and it is very blurry on the sides. I would say I lose 1/3 of the video to blur with this lens, and it also has vignetting that you have to zoom through or edit out!

Took this lens to the FLorida Keys for multiple diving days. Easy to install on housing and worked better then I could have hoped. If you want to improve your underwater shooting, add this to your housing.

Comments about Ikelite W-20 Underwater Wide Angle Conversion Lens:
It gives nice wide angle video UW. It's a bit heavy, probably equivalent to 1 KG of weight UW. To attached it underwater takes longer than I expected, but once on, it is safe. Bad thing is there is no red filter coming with it and I am still struggling to get one.
