You are correct it is the wwl1c for the canon rf24-50. (With the 27mm port). Seems a popular configuration with canon FF shooter who like wet system. If indeed Marelux doesn’t have a port for this lens (yet?), then I am wondering what the zoom lens 60622 would be for… But my other question is, if Marelux wants to push its own wet lens, is this going to be a Sony play and canon FF would have to use what is available (from apsc) ? Which wouldn’t be compelling!

@Phil Rudin Thank you! I understand the goal to support Marelux Wet Lens. If they can be proven any close to the WLL, this would be awesome! But Canon shooters are still facing a challenge outside of Nauticam! Especially FF... Not sure what the RF-s 18-45 would do with an R5, but even if the 24-50 is a low-end lens, it seems this is the only one which work at this point with a wet system (again as in Nauticam). I was told the 60222 zoom gear is soon available for the RF24-50 ? This is key for a Marelux decision, assuming there is a way to get it with a proper port, and at least some testing with an Aquista wet lens. There seems to be a decent number of Marelux Ambassadors using the R5 and R5ii, and I have seen the test from Masa Biru with the 18-45 (I think), but again, using a FF lens for a FF system should be best, shouldn't it ?

Yes, it works for Sony. Not yet for Canon. They mentioned they might support a zoom gear for the RF 24-50, but without a confirmed date yet. Then the type of port to accomodate that lens with the WLL1c will need to be checked, so this doesn't seem to be for tomorrow!

Phil, @Phil Rudin What about canon? If there is now a Marelux zoom gear for the RF24-50, it seems possible to adapt the WLL-1c? Any hint on required adaptor and port ? Will the new Aquista an alternative to the wll1? Thx.

@ColdDarkDiver Do you mind sharing what lens and dome you are using for video? (Rf 14-35 f4, 230mm ?) Thx.

I was wondering if indeed the 140mm was a total no go, but these pictures clearly show that would work in the blue. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for all answers! Super useful. I am also planning to test the use of the canon RF 1.4x tel with the 8-15 and and com lite adapter. As I am using it for other zoom lens, would be good not to have to buy the kenko. The more I dig, the more marelux looks attractive !

Thank you Chris! I originally really liked the flexibility of the wet WLL for multiple video shots. But no one but Nauticam offers the rf24-50 lens gear. I have the 8-15 and trying to figure out if I can use it for everything or if it’s too naive, even with a 1.4. I can indeed crop mode (canon r5 II) … some tests needed before I pull the trigger for the WA config(s?) !

I need a bit of help from canon shooters to converge on housings (except Nauticam, that i know), until i find a way to test them in real life, at least on land. I have an R5ii, but it guess it applies to most Rxx. 1) How are the position and friendliness of the 2 (or 3) AF buttons (AF-on, * , and [-]) on Marelux, Isotta, Ikelite and Sea&Sea (if someone has one yet?) 2) Anyone found a solution to use a single dome for canon 8-15 and a rectilinear (like the RF 14-35) which is not the 230mm ? How bad would the 8-15 look with a 170 or 180 dome (compared tot 140 assuming the curvature of this one is the best?) ? 3) Anyone using the 8-15 with the canon RF 1.4x teleconverter instead of the Kenko (with the hack on the commlit EF-RF converter) ? 4) How complicated it would be to 3D print a zoom gear for the canon RF 24-50 lens for non Nauticam housing ? (to eventually use the WLL1)

Thanks for the video and the comments about this. I am also debating what to do about video with the 8-15. I really like to have this lens with a small dome, but what to do for video... Would using the 1.4 teleconverter allow video shooting when zooming to 18-21mm ? Or is the only option is two lens ... and two domes as the 140mm doesn't work with the (canon RF) 14-35mm rectilinear lens !

I understand why the Kenko 1.4x is being used with the ef 8-15 due to the mount. But assuming there is a somehow reliable way to use an ef to rf converter accepting the canon RF 1.4x, like described here: Would it be an option to use the canon rf 1.4x instead of the kenko? Anyone seen or done it?
