Hi everyone.
I just purchased the aforementioned Nauticam housing for a Panny LX7, to use primarily as a compact lightweight video rig with a Nauticam WetMate dome. I'll mainly do wide angle and mid-range shots (filming other divers) and close ups inbetween.
Now, having experience with UW video using bigger camcorders&housings, I can't help to think that I could really use a red filter, especially since I only do natural light tropical water footage.
Of course I'd white balance anyway...still, with no lights, the red filter helps.
I found a UW filter with an M67 male thread on one side and a female on the other. This means I can sandwich it between the housing and the WetMate.

I also like the possibility to remove it on the fly while diving if I wish, something that the "over-the-camera-lens" magic filter like products don't offer.
Now, since I am still waiting for my housing to be delivered and I have no way to inspect it closely, I was wondering if anyone of you guys owning the housing+dome combo could tell me whether you think my idea is viable or not. Will the dome vignette at the 24mm range of the camera's lens?
