New a6xxx housing from Meikon

[StevieL]

I have to check if the thread is really M10x0.75. That's not a common metric thread and I have no screw tap to verify.

Where did these drawings come from -- did you create them yourself?

 

[StevieL]

Yes this is of my own making. Tomorrow I will check if the thread is really M10x0.75.

Today I got a reply from Seafrogs support:
"We are still working on the vacuum pump system, but pretty close to final stage, so we think it will be released before beginning of August."

Hi Guys,

Stefan offered to send me his plug, so I can measure it and make the adapter. Holidays are a bit of a problem, but I'll do my best to do it as fast as possible and put it on my site.

Best,

Miso

This is great news!

4-inch dome is now in stock on seafrogs.com.hk, still missing from meikon.com.hk.

Good news on the vacuum system - come August, we may go from zero options straight to two

Also, I've been browsing Aliexpress looking for one of those braided cord handles to carry my rig, and came across this piece instead. While Meikon's tray handle trigger is still MIA, this one seems to be universal - they don't list dimensions, but it's shown in photos while mounted with this handle, where the mounting holes are 28mm apart, so it should mount on my tray. I have placed an order yesterday, got a notification that it shipped out via PostNL today, so I should be able to test it in 3-4 weeks' time.

Has anyone tried the KitDive port for 90mm with 67mm threading on the A6xxx housing? I assume there is no way to manually focus this lens

 

[StevieL]

Hi,

yes, I have the port for 90mm. Autofocus only.

 

[Barmaglot]

Is it possible to fit the 10-18mm zoom gear around the narrower part of the 90mm macro lens? If it is, I'm thinking it might be possible to create a zoom gear extension for the knob to operate the focus ring.
