Do any of you good people know of an existing piece (or a method of manufacturing my own) of zoom gear for a sigma 17-70 macro that would fit in my MDX300 housing???

Hello, You may use Zoom Gear (56350) from SEA&SEA. This gear was originally designed for the Nikkor ED 18-35mm lens. This gear has been tested to the Sigma 17-70mm lens and works well.
We would not reccomend using this lens as its performance underwater is lacking on both the wide and macro side. Typically the long zoom lens seem like a solution to having to just shoot wide or macro on a dive, but your better off with a 12-24 or 10-17 for wide and a 60 or 105vr for macro. I think in the long run you will be much happier with the quality of the pictures.
...I'll try to use the Compact Wide Port L with the NX Compact Macro Port Base. Maybe it's the better solution...but I don't know now.
