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

As same as other INON Mount Bases and Optical D Cable Cap Sets,
「AD Mount Base・PT-044/046」/「Optical D Cable・Cap W46 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.
