Nice!

I found this video on a Underwater Camera Housing Set-up, Protection & Maintenance Tips, and there is a part regarding the removal of scratch from dome port, I have the inon 140 lens, do you think a similar process could work to remove a scratch, or the addional coating of the lens make the process not applicable? I asked today to inon support, I hope they replay with some good news, but another opinion would be nice 😁 Btw, that G55 lens looks promising, how difficult is to get the correct focus? I saw the focus stick with the lens, but still seems not easy to focus with less than 2 cm dof

Thanks for your question! You should be able to buff out the scratch with novus polish: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/novus-polish-2oz-set I do think the focus sticks will help quite a bit. Personally I thought it was fairly simple to focus as you can see in the screen if your image is in focus. But it does take some practice. I tried on land first and with some rocks and then I estimated the same distance with my actual subjects. Filming in 4K/120p also helps because you can slow down the footage for stabilization. I hope this helps and makes sense!

Hello Nirupam, how do you find the set of 3 macro lenses from Inon and which 2 would you recommend, if I already have an AOI UWL-03 (which I believe is already the same as a Inon G140)? Thanks for the great review.

Good question! The UWL-03 is very close to the Inon G140 - that's correct. My personal favorite was the G55, because I loved being able to get so close to very tiny subjects like the scallop in the video. But if you were going to pick a second lens, I would pick the G165 II. That way you can have a good range between "macro" and "supermacro". Let me know if you have any questions and if you need help acquiring the lenses, please don't hesitate to reach out at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com!

Hi Nirupam, thanks for the helpful response. Just to clarify, I meant which 2 lenses were your preference in addition to the G140 for a good macro range. Your input is valued.

A further inquiry, if you don't mind Nirupam, how did you manage the narrow focus range of the and high magnification of the UCL-G55? Would a tripod be required, was it challenging to use? Thanks for your valuable responses.

@@vingun169 Of course! It actually wasn't too bad. Ideally I would use a tripod, but if you don't have one, film at 4K/120p and slow down the footage for stability. The G55 now comes with a measuring tool that tells you the focusing distance, but it was also easy to see where the GoPro was in focus on the screen. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions
