The M52 lens includes 1 neoprene dome cover. Add a spade cover to make sure your dome stays safe.


Add a Split Shot O-ring

This O-ring kit eliminates burping the UWL-M52 lens underwater on your TG camera housing. It allows you to pre-seal water from a rinse bucket and eliminates the need to unthread the lens underwater to “burp” it. This O-ring set lets you shoot split shots (over/under) with a wet lens on your TG housing. These O-rings are not compatible with the QRS system.


Add a Quick Release Adapter

Tired of screwing on wide lenses? Use the AOI Quick Release Adapter to easily take the lens on and off with a push of a button and a quarter turn. The kits below include the lens and port adapters.

120 Degrees Of Coverage

Shipwrecks, stingrays, sharks, reefs, divers. These are the subjects where you need a wide angle lens. Getting wider allows you to get closer to your subject while still maintaining a wide field of view and increases clarity and contrast of your image.







24mm, No Vignetting, Sharp Corners

The Backscatter M52 wide angle wet lens was designed to be used with 24mm equivalent cameras. Other lenses wide angle wet lenses vignette (dark or clipped corners) at 24mm that require zooming to eliminate and have blurry corners. Our lens has no vignetting at 24mm and sharp corners.

Anti-Reflection Coating

The dome unit has an anti-reflection coating to cut down on glare and lens flares in your images.

Zoom Through Capability for Tighter Shots

Depending on the camera used, the internal zoom of the camera can be used up to 75% of the zoom range allowing you to reframe and get tighter shots without having to remove the wide angle lens.



Easy to Use

The lens threads directly on to any Olympus TG series 1 through 6 housing, no adapters required. There is an ergonomically placed silicone grip for easy threading. The lens shade has a smooth and easy rotation with the perfect balance between tension and maneuverability, with no tools needed.
