Looking for G15 gear

DaveC426913 — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 15:00:13 GMT

I love my little G15, I take it everywhere I go. I want it expand my options. Looking for advice.

1] Got to have a protective lens cover. I've replaced the scratched lens once (an unfortunate side-effect of taking it everywhere I go), about to replace it again. Does a lens cap exist? If I can't find a protective len cap that fits, I'll have to make my own.

2] I do macro work but want to do more. What are my options, lens-wise? I see fish-eye/macro lenses on eBay, but that seems ... counter-intuitive.

3] Need an underwater case. And soon! (going diving end of April) I'd like to get the one that has controls that operate the dials (not just the button workarounds).

[ EDIT ] Shoot. I'm in Canada. Toronto, if that makis a diff. (I'll go looking for a Canadian forum.)
