--Why so many different Mount Bases / Optical D Cable Sets--

As same as other INON Mount Bases and Optical D Cable Cap Sets, "28AD Mount Base・PT-043"/"Optical D Cable・Cap W42 Set with Clear Photo System Film" is exclusively designed for specific camera/housing including careful compatibility test to;



• 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)


• Support highly accurate and reliable "S-TTL Auto" shooting.
(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.
