lssotta housing for Lumix GH4

[JaliKhan]

Hi folks,
l recently acquired the new lssotta DSLR housing for the Lumix GH4 and dome port for the Lumix 7-14mm and the macro port for the Lumix 45mm Elmarit Macro. Unfortunately, l can't get hold of either lenses here in Dubai (where l live) and will have to order online.

ln the meantime, does anyone know whether l might be able to use the Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 zoom in the same port configuration?

l realise the same zoom gear will not fit the lens, however, l was thinking to try modifying the one l have until i can get the online bits here.

With the Nauticam GH4 you can use the 12-35 wih the same acrylic dome as the 7-14. However you need different extension rings for the Glass dome.

I have both lenses and the acrylic dome, but only the zoom and focus gear for the 7-14 lens. The 7-14 is much better for underwater use.

Does the Issotta housing give you access the to the back Button focus lock? If so just set the 12-35 to about 14mm, aperture to f8, use the back button to lock the focus.

You woun't be able to change the zoom underwater, but at least will be able test the 12-35 in your existing port.
