Anyone know what port for the 8mm fisheye lens for the Ikelite housing? I have the E-330, and Ikelites port chart doesn't say which port to use. I would think it would be the 8" dome, I don't know which extention ring.:confused:
 
Please post here with an answer, this is the lense I would like to utilize first when I can afford to house for E330.

An 8mm digital fisheye is 16mm in 35mm film. I used a 20mm f2.8 Nikon on an Ikelite 6 inch dome, it gets soft at the edges the curve on the 6 inch dome port does not match the curve of the lens. The 6 inch dome should be limited to 28mm in 35mm film and 16mm digital lenses or narrower. Like the Nikon 10.5mm digital the Olympus 8mm fisheye works best with the 8 inch dome.
