Features

Supports Large Image Sensor, Large Aperture Semi-fisheye Lens

Comparative Example
 
Comparative Example
UFL-G140 / UFL-GR140

The rear lens group has been enlarged while maintaining the same size and weight as the previous model.
Works well with action cameras with large sensors, such as the Insta360®Ace Pro, to film at the maximum field of view without vignetting.
Shooting at 8:7 aspect ratio of GoPro®HERO11 and later models are also supported without vignetting.
 

Ultra Wide Even Underwater

Though an action camera is equipped with ultra wide lens, its coverage underwater will dramatically narrow down due to different refraction ratio between air and water.
For example, maximum angle of view of GoPro® HERO13 Black is approx. 156° on land which will narrow down to approx. 94° when we put the camera in genuine dive housing and bring it underwater due to different refraction index. The INON UFL-GR140/UFL-G140 provides ultra wide semi-fisheye imaging with angle of view 140° underwater enabling wild underwater video work only with action cameras.

 
* Measured angle of view by INON or calculated angle of view underwater based on the measured angle of view. Not confirmed by camera manufacture. The measured angle of view of “HERO3+ Silver Edition” is approx. 142°(air) which is less wide than the “Black Edition”. So angle of view underwater with this lens is less than 140°. The “HERO3+ White Edition” has not been tested.

angle of view

Dynamic CFWA Imaging

Shooting through the INON UFL-GR140/UFL-G140 lens enables you to shoot a subject at close range to benefit deformed and/or perspective result.
The native depth of field (DoF) of the GoPro®HERO13 Black on land is approx. 60cm/2ft to ∞. With the INON UFL-GR140/UFL-G140, DoF underwater will be extended ∞ 4cm/1.6in to ∞ closer to camera side.
 

* DoF on land is based on focal length/aperture of camera lens and pixel pitch of the image sensor. DoF underwater is measured from "the forefront of the lens".

UFL-G140SD DoF

Professional-level Image Quality

Both UFL-GR140/UFL-G140 lenses are optimized to produce quality images from the minimum focusing distance to infinity. A 5-layer multi-coating on the inner surface of the acrylic dome ensures excellent image quality comparable to that of a glass dome, while keeping budget price.
 

Professional-level Image Quality

*It is not recommended to use INON lenses with other brand adapter as using with other brand adapter may degrade the image quality significantly (*Not covered by warranty). This is due to lack of optimization of lens adapter design in combination with INON lens.

Remarks

Both UFL-GR140/UFL-G140 are designed only for underwater use. When using on land, distant subject is not in focus, angle of view is not as wide as rated and vigentting is observed.
 
[When using the UFL-G140]

  • When using for GoPro

Always set camera's Field of View (FOV)/Digital Lenses to [WIDE]. Using [Linear] or [Narrow] won't bring optimal performance of this lens.
When using with HERO11 Black, HERO12 Black and HERO13 Black, shoot in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio as vignetting will occur in 8:7 or HyperView mode.
When shooting 4K 9:16 or 1080p 9:16 with HERO13, the lens hood tips will appear in a clip. Remove the lens hood or use 4:3 or 16:9 shooting mode. (HERO12/HERO13)
[SuperView™] mode is not recommended. The SuperView™ mode stretches both ends of the image inside the camera to fit into a 16:9 aspect ratio from originally obtained 4:3 aspect ratio image by the camera sensor. Since the edges of the frame are stretched horizontally, attaching a wide-angle lens further stretches the edges of the frame, resulting in an unnatural image.
Set the camera's image stabilization (HyperSmooth) to [Standard], [High], or [On].  Setting to [Off] will cause vignetting in image corners, and [Boost] will crop the image significantly.
The FOV/Digital Lenses setting [Wide] in Photo mode causes vignetting in image corners.
Since this lens provides ultra wide angle of view, it is recommended to set Spot Meter to [ON] when using external lighting source (LED flashlight etc.). Setting Spot Meter to [OFF] may have washout if the external lighting device aims center of the frame.

  • When using for Insta360 Ace Pro

Use FOV setting [Dewarp]. FOV settings [ActionView]/[UltraWide] will have vignetting.

  • When using for TG-Tracker

Activate image stabilization function of the camera while shooting video to avoid vignetting. When taking still images, do not use attachment lens to avoid significant vignetting on image corners.
Since the camera is designed to offer optimal focusing performance for close range subject, usable range of DoF (depth of field) with this lens is "1cm/0.4in to 80cm/2.6ft" and distant subject beyond this range gets blur.

  • When using for FDR-X3000/HDR-AS300

Select SteadyShot (Movie) [Act] when shooting video as [Std] and [OFF] cause slight vignetting. Select SteadyShot (Still) [ON] when shooting still image. Excessive camera movement may result vignetting even SteadyShot (Movie) [Act] is selected.
Always set camera's angle setting to [Wide]. Using [Medium] or [Narrow] won't bring optimal performance of this lens.

360° Panorama Video

 
Underwater 360°panoramic movie with UFL-G140 SD by Makoto Hirose/SeaPics Japan. Six GoPro® cameras with INON UFL-G140 SD lenses are mounted on a customized mount called “rig”. The movie is created by stitching all clips by using specific editing application for 360°panoramic movie. Without INON UFL-G140 SD, it is not possible to create such a natural panoramic movie as angle of view of GoPro® camera underwater is not as wide as on land showing up seams between clips. You can move viewpoint anywhere you like by dragging your mouse over the movie.
