Hey everyone,

I’m currently shooting the Olympus OM-1 with the Panasonic 8mm fisheye in an AOI DLP-06 acrylic dome.

I haven’t had enough bottom time with this setup yet to know if internal reflections will be an issue, but looking at the port hood petals, I'm curious: does anyone proactively line the inside of the petals with matte tape or similar materials to kill stray light?

Is this a known quirk with the DLP-06/8mm combo, or am I overthinking it before seeing the files? Would love to hear if anyone uses flocking or gaffer tape here.

Cheers!

I have a Panasonic 8mm and I used it in a Zen 100mmglass dome and didn't notice any reflections. There is no white lettering upfront which is the usual culprit with lenses causing reflections and the petals have cast in lines which are designed so that the lens sees the shaded underside of the lines. I can't see it being a problem.

I shoot the same lenswith the AOI 4 inch glass dome. I have not had any issues with stray reflections with that combo.
