(Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 13:25 EDT)

FantaSea Line has announced a new range of related accessories dubbed "Fantasea Eyes", aimed at improving underwater images.

Patent-pending BigEye wide-angle conversion air lenses help achieve wide-angle images by using air as an optical element when the camera / lens combo is submerged underwater. SharpEye lenses magnify the subject and allow sharp underwater macro focusing, while RedEye filters correct for absorption of red light underwater, allowing for attractive images at shallow depths without resorting to artificial lighting. A selection of EyeDaptors hold the lenses and filters when in use, and EyeGrabbers store them out of the way when not being used.

The line is designed to be universal, and said to be compatible with a variety of underwater housings including Fantasea's own, as well as those from Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Ikelite, Panasonic, Casio, Sea & Sea. For more details, browse the press release below and visit Fantasea Line's website.
