kwwillia asked: How does the dc35 28ad adapter attach to the bottom of the housing? Can this interfere with the bolt for a strobe tray?
It does, of course. You will need a slightly longer bolt.

This adapter looks like a good solution for mounting the 28AD lenses, since it takes the stress of the lens off the front of the plastic housing.
Personally I prefer the 67mm mount (got lenses for it), but of course some lenses are not available in that mount, just as some lenses are not in either AD or 28AD mount. It seems the only vendor of it is Dyron, and I am having trouble buying it in the USA.

Fantasea has a two piece option, one an adapter to convert the DC 35 front to a DC34 front, then a second adapter for DC34 to 67mm. What a mess.

The 67mm mount is less convenient than bayonet type mounts. But I shoot mostly macro stuff and I have a specific target for my next trip: Pygmy seahorses. They seem to be deep so there is not a lot of time for fiddling lenses (10-20 minutes) anyway. So I will setup on the boat for macro the whole dive, no task loading and all that. 67mm should be fine.
Today I will cobble an adapter from a step ring and post the results.
