HowShot dome ports
And a little more of info. My HowShot 140 mm glass dome has arrived one week after buying. One week from Taiwan to Spain, not bad at all. I bought it with an extra neoprene cover, so the value for customs was 765 US$. They marked in the customs declaration as a gift, so I paid 10 euros in tariffs. Not a big deal when I was expecting about 200 euros in tariffs. That said, the dome port has nothing to envy Nauticam for, the quality looks fantastic and the lug can be unscrewed, so you can screw the Nauticam lug. Also the shade comes with small allen screws which you can remove and screw for another ones with a plastic grip in order to remove the shade easily. I can't wait to test in the water, but the weather is terrible right now.

More info, my dive budy, who has the same equipment than me but in a Nauticam housing has the same issues than me, so he has bought the Nauticam 140 mm glass dome. In this picture you can see the new Nauticam dome, the lug is machined directly on the body. So it's not an option for the Isotta and Sea&Sea users. My HowShot 140 glass dome port is already in customs Spain, the service from Divervison is really quick, as soon as is in my hands I'll put some pictures here.

Thailand - Northern Andaman Sea Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock
Been there in december, your video is exactly as I remember. We did a night dive in Richelieu expecting to be the best dive of the trip and it actually was the worst, during the day Richelieu was quite clear despite the currents but during the nightdive the visibility dropped to 5 meters as much. I would go back to Richelieu, Koh Bohn and the Dome right now, very nice dive. But the Similans are not on the top of the best spots to dive in Asia in my opinion.

Well, I have bought it along with a 60 mm Isotta extension ring, which is what Isotta recommends with all its domes for the combination of the Canon 8-15 Fisheye, Kenko 1.4x and adaptor ring for EF lens to RF camera. Soon we will know it.

I've looking closer that FB page and the last post is from 2014 π and Mr. Chen is their CEO. I also sent an email to Divervision and this is their answer "Howshot 140mm dome port has the same curvature with the one of Nauticam 140mm dome port. The material of the Howshot 140mm dome port is Zeiss glass and aluminium port base. Besides, Howshot 140mm dome port has inside coating the same as the one of Nauticam. " I feel like buying that dome...

Well, I just sent Divervision en email asking for it, I would prefer a contact with the manufacturer or any user rather than a shop in Taiwan, I' feeling kinda lab rat if I finally buy it.

Thank you, but I donΒ΄t find any HowShot website, the only information I can find is the products of the them who s Divervision is selling and Ocean-Photos in Spain, who were their dealer time ago but they don't import their products anymore, and they never had this 140mm dome, so they don't have any information about it.

Well, my dive partner has recently ordered a brand new 140 mm dome Nauticam port for his Nauticam housing, so we will know in a short time if it's true that the new ones comes comes with the lug machined. Yes, I want it to use with the Canon 8-15 Fisheye + Kenko 1.4x. @Walt Stearns is selling this dome in the forum along with a Sigma lens, and he talks fine about it, but I would like to have more information. Also I would buy his dome if it wasn't along with the lens

The Cold Mediterranean Sea
In wintertime, when the mediterranean sea temperature drops to 13-14ΒΊC is when the posidonia becomes greener and shorter. Not as spectacular as a coral reef but it also has its charm.

I was told that new Nauticam version doesn't have the lug rig screwed to the body but machined with it, so if i find an old version second hand would be great. And the Isotta dealer in Spain doesn't recommend this 4,5" dome, he says i still will find blurry corners, a bit less that with the 4" but still a little bit. So I'm looking for different options. And today I have found this Howshot 140 mm dome ports https://www.divervision.com/products/howshot-140mm-optical-fisheye-port-for-seaandsea-nx-s120-mount-ofp-140-s120?_pos=2&_sid=f7fbcc98d&_ss=r Which is glass, and looks like the Nauticam one but for pretty much half the price, but I don't have any reference of it. So basically at this moment I don't know what to do, the only thing I know is that I need a 6" dome port neither smaller nor bigger, I prefer glass, but If I don't find anyone which fits me in terms of money I'm open to plastic domes.
