I thought about that, as I have seen the posts by Dave Hicks about his experiments there. I'm weighing the options of saving a couple hundred bucks vs. flooding and killing a couple thousand bucks of gear if I mess up the print. 😬

Lol! I'm not even THAT far yet. I picked up a housing that came with ports/strobes/etc, but I don't have the lenses to fit the ports that came with it, or vice versa. So, as soon as I get that sorted, then I'll pester y'all with questions about strobes and TTL settings and all that. Brace yourselves! (I do have pretty good Google-fu, so that should limit things somewhat.) Thanks for the welcome, though. :)

Thanks for that legwork! That's good enough for me to hold off on this one.

Good points to consider. Thanks for raising them. 1) No zoom function to worry about. I'm OK (I think) using autofocus only. I can probably 3d print a modified focus gear down the road if I want that function. Worthy of consideration, though! 2) We're good there. The lens passes through the N100 end of the adapter with room to spare. 3) I would love clarification on this from anyone who knows for sure. This is part of what I'm trying to figure out.

The lens will fit entirelty through the N100 end of the N100/N120 adapter, so I think I'm OK on that front. Your point is well taken on whether this is really the lens I want to use. To be transparent, this is a practical solution, not a perfect one. I have the 14mm lens, and an extension to make that work is only a little money. A new 16-35 lens is a chunk of change that I'd rather not spend just right now while I'm getting started. Down the road, I'll probably go that route. Thanks for the input and advice. It's very appreciated. :)

I recently acquired a Nauticam housing for my Sony A7RII, and am a bit lost trying to figure out what extensions will/won’t work to house a lens I already have and would like to use. I could use some advice if anyone can help. The housing is the N100 system, and the lens I am trying to work with is the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM. According to the Nauticam port chart, they recommend the N100 to N120 35mm adapter (which I have), followed by a N120 20mm extension (which I don't have), then the N120 180mm glass dome (which I have). The question I have: Forum member Onokai is selling a 100mm compact 20mm extension. (https://waterpixels.net/forums/topic/3635-brand-new-nauticam-compact-port-extension-ring-20-18520/#comment-25602) Would that extension work just as well as the N120 extension if I switched up the order to be 20mm extention → N100/120 adapter → 180mm glass dome? (Neither he or I are sure.) Or, is there a reason I don’t understand that the 20mm extension needs to come after the adapter, such that the compact extension won’t work?

... in advance for all the dumb questions I'll likely be asking. I'm pretty new to diving in general, and just got myself a housing system for my Sony A7RII. I'm trying to figure out the equipment, lingo, and overall vibe. Please be kind! :) I'm based in land-locked Utah, but am newly retired and look forward to lots of travel, diving, and photography. Thanks to all of you for the amazing info resource you've created here. I hope to get to the point that I can contribute positively at some point. Will
