Bug eye / endoscope video from Lembeh, Indonesia

I’ve just posted a short video shot in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia, with a Canon 7D in a Nauticam underwater housing with 60mm macro lens and INON Underwater Micro Semi-Fisheye Relay Lens UFL-MR130 EFS60 (AKA “bug eye” or “insect eye”) – effectively, and underwater endoscope.

The INON bug eye lens produces images with a perspective otherwise impossible to achieve – like seeing the macro world from a small critter’s perspective!

Here’s a shot of the rig I used:
