The new
precision.

Uncom­pro­mi­sing image quality has been SEACAM’s greatest challenge and motivator in under­wa­ter pho­to­gra­phy. We have con­stant­ly strived to further improve quality and find even better solutions. Our idea behind the new Optical Precision Port is to guarantee the same high image quality under­wa­ter as the lens used on land. At the same time, we were also concerned with adhering to incre­asing­ly rest­ric­ti­ve baggage regu­la­ti­ons and keeping both dimen­si­ons and weight as low as possible. With the new Optical Precision Port – OPP – we have achieved this very suc­cessful­ly, and after extensive deve­lo­p­ment work, it has now become a reality.

Optical
Mas­ter­pie­ce.

The OPP is a water cor­rec­tion optic based on the principle of the Ivanoff-Rebikoff lens system, which has been meti­cu­lous­ly revised by our optical engineers and adapted to the requi­re­ments of modern optics. The revo­lu­tio­na­ry concept of the OPP is an inte­gra­ted system con­sis­ting of several lenses that utilize the refrac­ti­ve pro­per­ties of water, effec­tively trans­forming the optics from water to air. The familiar optical quality of the lens used on land is fully main­tai­ned – corner sharpness and, in par­ti­cu­lar, depth of field is signi­fi­cant­ly improved.

The full
system.

Con­sis­ting of a multi-part lens system, the OPP Frontport estab­lishes direct contact with the water. You won’t find a dome port here – the design utilizes a flat front glass. The multi-coated optical element is located inside, while the front glass surface provides optimal scratch pro­tec­tion. The OPP has a very compact design and is equipped with easily removable lens hoods. Thanks to its small packing size and equi­va­lent weight to our Superdome, the OPP takes up very little space in your luggage, making it extremely travel-friendly.

Cor­rec­ti­ve
Lens.

To ensure the OPP delivers perfect image quality under­wa­ter, an optical cor­rec­tion lens is screwed onto the lens used, forming an integral part of the system. Together, they form a complete, func­tion­al unit, precisely matched to each other, and guarantee the best possible image quality from your lens.

In Action
with Don Silcock.

For SEACAM, the indi­vi­du­al needs and requi­re­ments of under­wa­ter pho­to­graph­ers always take pre­ce­dence. Espe­ci­al­ly with optical solutions, however, the seemingly simplest aspects often prove to be the most difficult to realize. Therefore, only close coope­ra­ti­on and intensive exchange with pho­to­graph­ers and experts pave the way for inno­va­ti­on and novelty. SEACAM Ambassa­dor Don Silcock has captured a signi­fi­cant amount of images with the new OPP in a year of intensive work and is convinced of the out­stan­ding image quality and handling of the OPP.

12 months
with the OPP.

His expe­ri­ence and diverse deploy­ments across all oceans prompted us to ask Don to test our new OPP rigo­rous­ly and inten­si­ve­ly. We quickly convinced him to conduct extensive tests under real-world con­di­ti­ons. Read for yourself what he can already say about our OPP after a year of use. Don regularly publishes in various magazines and has written almost 150 articles about his travels and experiences.

12 months of testing with Don

“After a year of practical testing in three oceans, the SEACAM OPP has earned a permanent place in my under­wa­ter pho­to­gra­phy gear. The com­bi­na­ti­on of sharpness, ver­sa­ti­li­ty, and optical quality is remarkable.”
