• Optimize high quality lens performance for high quality macro/wide shot and
(design attachment lens layout for best suited distance from camera's master lens which is vary among different camera/housing models)

(design fiber optics attachment layout based on camera's built-in flash location) INON benefits you with above advantages by producing specific accessories for each specific camera/housing model. Other manufacture's versatile lens adopters or universal strobe cables look like very useful but they often show;
• Just enough to attach a lens
>>without optimizing optical performance of lens resulting only widen an image area with heavy vignetting on corners 　or terrible quality in peripheral part of an image
• Just enough to attach a strobe
  
  >>without accurate exposure control and reliability resulting fluctuating exposure and fickle flashing
  
  INON system is completely different from those versatile products and simple yet reliable to provide "high quality image" / "highly accurate S-TTL Auto" to support every level of underwater photographers.
