Any tried the sigma 30 or 35 mm lenses with A6300/6500 and ikelite housing? These are getting good reviews, are reasonably priced. So I would be nice if they fit they could be used in the ikelite housing.

Just my $0.02... 30/35mm (45/52mm equivalent) is not a particularly useful focal length underwater, at least not without the ability to focus closely, and none of these Sigma lenses (by 35mm you mean the full-frame DSLR lens with built-in MC-11, right? the one they announced recently?) can focus closer than 30cm. I just looked over the photos from my last trip, shooting with 16-50mm, and almost all underwater photos are either at 16mm, or in the 45-50mm range. A Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is on my wishlist as a portrait lens, but I wouldn't take it underwater. Sony 30mm macro is a fairly well-regarded underwater lens, but it can focus down to 10cm from the image plane, which is basically almost at the port glass - very different from the Sigma offerings.
