Dome port for Olympus 8mm f1.8 fisheye

[rs86]

Hi all,

I am torn between two options for the Olympus m.zuiko 8mm f1.8 fisheye lens in a Nauticam housing:

- Nauticam 140mm glass fisheye dome port
- Zen 170mm glass dome port

I am planning on shooting quite a bit of over-under, so the 170mm port would be better, but I am wondering if I would get the full 180 degree FOV with this dome.

Also, with the Zen dome, would I need an extension ring with this lens? I can't find any information about this...

Thanks for your advice!

Hi Angel Fish,

The Zen DP-170 dome in connection with the Zuiko 8mm FE Pro is discussed here: Olympus lens recommendation - Mirrorless Cameras/Housings

I shot the 8mm in the 140mm FE dome recently in Mexico with my EM1 MKII. Usually I've used the smaller acrylic, or glass Oly dome port. I thought the edges and corners looked much better, although this shot doesn't really show it, the quality is good. You need an N85 17mm extension as well. It's not that much larger to swim with either.
