    Hmmmm ok leh all along i used it. just a matter of getting used to the sweet spot, rock a bit back and forth no issues.

    • think the subsee +10 still more powderful. not much magnification from the FIT.

    but cannot stack except with those blardy expensive 3rd party adaptors. oh well maybe will stack the +5's behind the subsee this weekend and see how it goes.

    • There was a comment that says that the  +16 is only in air and when in water it becomes more a +5.... anybody here know what Slipperydick as talking about?

    it's the different refraction properties of air and water. the +16 is rated in air and loses it's 'power' when in water. the +16 and other similarly constructed lens have 2 elements with air sealed in between. A 'true' underwater +10 or +5 like the subsee and macromate have 4 elements i believe which means the lens does not lose it's power underwater. It's the same power on land and underwater.

    Slipperdick aka keri wilk's explanation is pretty clear. why not post there for further explanation if you need?

    • the main difference is that the subsee is a sealed lens, where the curved surfaces of the lens do not come into contact with water.

    the other diopters are not sealed, hence the actual refracting lenses  are in contact with the water.

    OK, i just realised that my pic wouldn't be a fair comparison because i was using a 100mm lens where the comparison pic in the article was with a 60mm.

    • yes you can. i just used it with the 60mm. the downside is that you get a little less magnification compared to using the 100mm. with the subsee you have to be really close to get max magnification. probably almost touching the subject
