Abstract: A photography or videography imaging system includes a panoramic converter that can be used with a user-selected camera lens. The panoramic converter includes a dome port and a corrector group of lenses that corrects the aberrations caused by the dome port when the imaging system is placed in a liquid. The corrector group compensates a field curvature produced by dome port while preserving the angles, relative to an optical axis of the panoramic converter, of propagation paths of light rays entering the dome port. The angle, relative to the optical axis, of the propagation path of a light ray in the liquid prior to entering the dome port is approximately the same as the angle, relative to the optical axis, of the propagation path of the light ray propagating toward the camera lens after exiting the corrector group of lenses.

Abstract: A panoramic-view diving mask with self-sealing, non-glued, removable front lenses and side lenses integrally formed in the frame body of the mask. The lenses are self-sealed by an assembly process in which a layer of elastic gasket medium is applied or attached to either one or both beveled contacting edges of the frontal and side lenses, respectively. The lenses are assembled by pressing an assembly ring against the frontal lens and side lens, forcing compression against the elastic gasket medium at the contacting edges of the two lenses and securing the front lenses to the side lenses that are integrally formed with the frame body of the mask. The result is a watertight seal, achieved without adhesives, at the contacting edges of the front and side lenses. This process reduces storage space, packaging size and transporting costs during mass production.
