Does this solution require a specific type of lens case for soaking? (I am switching from discontinued Aquify (sob!) &amp; need to know before I buy)

I don't think it does. I use a standard lens case with the compartment for each lens. I have a few - some were free with purchase, some I've bought separately. They just need to be kept clean!

works best with wide angle, not a great fit due to generic case that fits everything. I really had to work to make this fit my 7D with 10-22 lens when swimming with Manatees. Took hours to get the correct fit with foam and padding to keep the lens up against the glass nice and snug or all you set are? you guessed it? pics of the inside of the case nose. I also found my camera generated too much heat and fogged up the inside while being submerged in the not so cold Florida water. There was nothing I could do about this since I couldn't open the case and wipe the fog away. I got a few pictures and videos but if I was to shoot underwater again I would get the canon waterproof camera and save my time, anxiety and money on this. We Canon owners have too much invested in bodies and lenses to trust a $40.00 piece of plastic. I sold mine on ebay

Yes - you must buy a new lens cover. I bought one that also included an elastic strap that slide over the lens and with a cord and double-sided tape connector for the lens cap so that you can take it off and let it hang and not lose it. Sorry I don't remember where I got it.

Yes, I had this happen and called Alcon about it. It turns out that you cannot go between Clean Care and a multi-purpose solution. The chemical composition of multi-purpose solutions is incompatible with the neutralizing gear in the Clean Care case. If you use multi-purpose solution to rewet your lenses (which is what I did), they absorb some and react negatively with Clear Care. The Alcon representative said that once that happens, the Clean Care neutralizing disk is ruined. I don't know why this information is not printed on the box (or posted at the web site). If you call Alcon, they will send you a replacement case that you can use with a fresh pair of lenses. Yes, I had this happen and called Alcon about it.

Hi Carol. A slim filter would be preferred to.avoid vignetting. However, slim filters are not lens cap friendly and annoying at times.

You could try it if you had a case handy, or review pictures/controls/dimensions for the camera you have vs what this is made for but I wouldn't make go through a mail order/shipped purchase just to chance it. These cases are all manufactured specifically to the shape and controls of these cameras and the fit has to be just right or else you won't be able to use your camera. Another thought might be to check with a camera store that stocks the cases and cameras and knows what else fits with what. If I had to do it all over again, I have one of the newer waterproof panasonic Lumix cameras and I just love it a lot more than my older one which fit the case, and I'd be tempted to go with a case that fit a waterproof camera so I could use the camera both ways and also not worry so much about leakage when diving.

I did not have any problems I use case with adapter ring + filter + the larger lens cover. I have been useing this protective cover for over 30 days now on daily basis still very happy with my purchase.

Sorry, I can't help with that. Perhaps you should contact the seller. I found them very helpful. I can say the case is sturdy, and the threads are metal. I would worry more about losing or damaging the lenses rather than the case.

I presume using other lenses provided: The other lens just 'screw' onto the fixed lens. Unless you're meaning storage of the external lenses???? I've got an extra camera bag for all the "loose' stuff.

I have just started using clear care for scleral lenses and I am having this same problem. I end up with only about a quarter of an inch of solution at the end of the process. It seems to all bubble out of the little air vent on top of the case. My lenses are gas perm so they don't dry out but I worry that my lenses aren't being cleaned well. I asked my Dr and she hadn't heard of this problem. I do rub my lenses with a multi-purpose solution beforehand - I'll try rinsing the lenses well before using the clear care and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestion and for asking the question! I have just started using clear care for scleral lenses and I am having this same problem.

No, you have to use the case that they provide you which enables the lens to screw into it. I had to remove my case every time I wanted to use it ... that is the down side of this.

For a waterproff rating #, contact the manufacturer. However, on a recent float fishing trip to Alaska, the bag kept my camera and lens safe. I only problem I experienced was lens fogging when I took my camera out of the bag.

NO. Warning, i still can't use the lens... The sealer's made a mistake and send me the wrong adapter!!

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.

You have to make sure you buy the correct lens cleaner for the lenses, only wipe them with a dry microfiber cloth and never wipe them with your fingers. Sounds impossible but the coating works great and it keeps the fog away 99% of the time. Whenever I got some fog I just wiped in some more of the protectant(comes with the goggles) and boom good to go.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

I ALWAYS submerge my goggles (any make) in the body of water I'm about to swim in for about 30secs until they are at that temp then rinse with tap water. Rinse again when I'm done and store in a hard case. They should last and be crystal clear until a strap breaks or eye cushion goes brittle. I NEVER touch my lenses. Even if they are smudged just splash about in some soapy dish water and rinse and hard-case. Last forever until I loan or lose em
