Somebody posted some pics taken with this combination recently, I think (it may have been on Wetpixel). I've done searches but can't find the post. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
John

I don't know if he's posted specific pictures, but Aussie Byron is using a 10-17 with 1.4tc in a 100mm Zen dome. You might PM him on details. I've seen other postings from people who tried the 1.4 in bigger domes with poor results. Bill Libecap built a 5" dome with good results using the 1.4.

Unfortunately I dont have the extension and thw 1.4x TC yet....its on my list. I have been shooting the Tokina 10-17mm and Nikon 10.5 behind the Aquatica 100mm mini dome.

Have a look at Ross Gudgeon's website. I know for sure he shoots with the Tokina 10-17mm with 1.4TC.

Thanks Larry, Mark! The reason I ask is that I bought the custom-made 4" minidome for Ikelite advertised in the Classifieds section of Wetpixel yesterday. I already have a 1.4x TC (Tamron, older model, not designed specifically for digital but made in the same factory as Kenco and works fine, at least on land) and wondered what kind of results I might be able to get with the set-up.

I've now been given lots of tips by people on Wetpixel and seen some pics.

Here are a couple with a D200, Aquatica housing and 6" dome. Jean might be able to address the differences between the 4" & 6" optically.

Those look beautiful, Martin. Really sharp right out to the corners.

The first and third are good examples but the second is cropped so might not see any distortion in the corners.

Thanks for sharing! I already had the Ikelite 6" dome but that won't take the TC.
Regards,
John
