Our standard Orpheus lens with flat port has an 80ยฐ in-water field-of-view, but we added a new fish-eye camera lens, and coupled it with a dome port, to boost field-of-view by a whopping 75% to 140ยฐ in-water.

It's definitely been challenging, but staying flexible, and sometimes thinking outside the box is key.
