Underwater Photography Reviews

Lens Reviews

We use a wide range of lenses for underwater photo and video, each suiting different subjects and shooting styles. These include macro, wide-angle and fisheye lenses for DSLR and mirrorless camera bodies.

At UWPG we review new housings, cameras, lenses, strobes, video lights, focus lights, wet lenses, diopters and ports for underwater photo and video.
