I finally got to try all this out in Bonaire this past November I already owed a +6 diopter from an older system and an adapter that fit the Ikelite port. The WD-4 restores the field of view to 28mmĪs I already have two Ikelite strobes, I paid the price for the Ikelite housing plus the WD-4 dome. Due to the underwater 1.3 index of refraction, the G1x lens has an effective field of view 37mm behind a flat port. The Ikelite allows for wired sync on external strobes and has the WD-4 external dome, to provide wider angle underwater. The Canon housing is less expensive and smaller. The two housings I considered were the Canon DC-WP44 and the Ikelite housing. The idea of a fixed lens compact that didn't need separate ports and gears for each lens was appealing. As the camera was just released there was little practical experience, but the consensus was that it should. When the G1x was released I posed a question on this forum about whether it would give me the same image quality as my housed Olympus DSLR for underwater photography.
