Davide DB Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Or at least check the box properly... Tonight I was changing lens and port for WA shooting and opening the WWL case I noticed for the first time a small bulge in the inside pocket of the lid. So after 5 years of shooting with the WWL I discovered that there is a small thingamabobs to easily remove the lens. It is never too late 🤪 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but in this case I felt myself very stupid. In the past I even applied a sort of bungee to remove easily the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue how to do it, and attached in the housing forever 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue how to do it, and attached in the housing forever I thought the same thing but, if it's anything like the Subal or Nauticam system, it is dead easy and takes 3-4 minutes. If you have a vacuum valve system on the housing it's easy to check that you have got it on right and the seal is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is S&S housing with the S&S 45º viewfinder, I suppose it should be more or less the same. I don’t have vacuum valve system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Similar, I’m sure. The Subal and Nauticam viewfinders have a threaded end to them. A large circular, threaded retaining ring screws on to the viewfinder threads inside the housing and holds it place. Subal use two o-rings on the shaft of the viewfinder to prevent water ingress into the housing. To remove the viewfinder you unscrew the retaining ring and gently pull the viewfinder out. To refit, push the viewfinder back through the hole in the housing back and refit the retaining ring and tighten gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old school threaded rings most Nauticam one have an O ring remove push out viewfinder , less than a minute to remove and replace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
