Hi all,


I've just bought the Sony 10-18mm lens for my Sony NEX7 & Nauticam housing and appreciate your views on the ports that can be used with this particular lens.


Looks like there are 3 port options. I was assuming the Nauticam acrylic 7 inch (being acrylic) will not perform as well as the Zen and Nauticam glass port options. However as the acrylic 7 inch is made specifically for this lens this may not be the case?

There's a price difference of course, and base/extensions needed for the glass ports, but purely on photo quality are you losing anything in this case with the acrylic 7 inch?


much appreciated
 
I think the 7" acrylic is not specially made for the 1018 because it can be used with other lenses as well.

I own the 1018 and will go with the 180mm glass dome from Nauticam. I will need the 85-120 adapter for the sony macro lens anyway.

Not sure but maybe the acrylic dome is not so nice to handle underwater because of the low weight.

Cheers
