Designed to expand your field of view, this dome port provides an impressive wider angle of coverage, allowing photographers to capture expansive underwater scenes without the common drawbacks of distortion or vignetting.

This critical adjustment corrects the magnification, ensuring that your images remain true to size and perspective.Compatibility is key, and the WD-3 Wide-Angle Dome is designed to fit any Ikelite housing with a 3.0-inch diameter lens port. This broad compatibility makes it a versatile choice for a range of underwater photographers, from hobbyists to professionals.In summary, the WD-3 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome Port is an essential tool for those looking to enhance their underwater photography with wider, distortion-free images, lightweight handling, and seamless integration with Ikelite housings.
