140 Deg. FOV with Compatible 14mm Lenses (incl. float collar)
With even more ingenuity and engineering from Nauticam, than it s predecessor comes the WACP-2. Unlike the WACP-1, which was designed to work primarily with 28mm equivalent lenses, the WACP-2 is optimized to work with 14mm lenses to produce the first-ever rectilinear 140º field-of-view yet still maintains full zoom-through optical capability.

Nauticam s innovation shows with the WACP-2 s ability to focus in air, making it an even more capable imaging tool with the ability to capture over-under images and even filming topside in wet environments.
The WACP-2 s zoom-through capabilities means the underwater photographer or filmmaker can capture establishing, medium and close-up shots all with one lens while maintaining optimum optical and close-focus performance. Take for instance the Nikkor Z 14-30mm F 4 S lens which receives a field-of-view range of 81º to 140º with the WACP-2. This lens allows for more dynamic content on each and every dive without the need for a second camera.
A radical new shade design allows for extending the shade out past the front element at longer focal lengths or during transport to further protect the dome while at wider focal lengths it cantilevers towards the outside to prevent vignette.
The WACP-2 is sure to impress the uncompromising underwater image-maker when looking for maximum optical quality, flexibility, and performance.
