One thing I meant to say yesterday was to always be careful when lenses end up very close to the glass - I’ve seen a few times problems when the housing compresses underwater (more port sections - more o-rings - more compression), the port then pushes the lens and camera back in the housing enough that the push buttons on the back of the housing start activating.

    I've ordered one. No idea on wait, but it would be conveninet if it came in time for my Lembeh trip in November. Very happy that it will work with TCs - something I used to value greatly with my Niko

Good advice, Alex. In fact, the shortest option is really tight (basically the space of a business card), so I’m a bit worried about it. Anyway, I also tried the 97mm + 20mm combo and it's fine — there’s no vignetting with the close-up lens (SMC-1) mounted on the flip. So this is probably the best option: fewer extension rings, less bulky setup... (until the proper port will be available)
