Yes, the new N100 140mm port has a built in extension, it is not removable. https://www.backscatter.com/Nauticam-N100-140mm-Optical-Glass-Fisheye-Dome-Port-II

I can confirm it's the same as the N100 to N120, 35.5mm extension. And it is built in.

Backscatter recently released their review for the Sony A7R VI. See the full review here: https://www.backscatter.com/reviews/post/Sony-a7R-VI-Underwater-Camera-Housing-Review

Honestly, my biggest piece of advice for underwater video: DON'T SHOOT LOG. Film in the standard picture profile. I see a lot of people using Log just because they watched a YouTube video recommending it, but Log is really designed for shooters on land. Here's the issue: with Log, you're forced into a higher base ISO. Underwater, we are already in a dark environment, so boosting our ISO even higher means most Log footage just looks really noisy. Plus, you basically need a pro colorist to correct it. The A7SIII already has great dynamic range and brilliant white balance at depth, so shooting in standard gives you a significantly cleaner image with great color right out of the camera. Give me underwater footage shot in Log and fully graded, and put it next to correctly exposed, white-balanced footage shot in the standard picture profile. Trust me, you won't see any difference. If anything, it's most likely that the standard picture profile image looks cleaner. These are my go-to baseline settings for great looking footage straight out of camera: Standard Picture Profile. Aperture: f/8 Shutter: 1/125 (because I am shooting 60fps) ISO: Auto ISO Exposure Comp: -0.7 (this helps protect the highlights of the surface) To be fair, those specific exposure settings are mainly what I use for wide angle, but the core philosophy is basically the same for macro and blackwater. Since you are shooting macro and blackwater with artificial light, here is the real trick: make sure you custom white balance to your video lights. If you do this in standard profile, it gives you incredible color accuracy right out of the camera so you don't have to fiddle with it in post at all. I have been shooting the A7SIII since it came out and it is still my absolute go-to workhorse for work. If you want to see the results, check out any video on Backscatter and you will see most of the underwater footage was shot with this camera and these settings. Hope this helps you avoid those editing headaches!

We were very happy with the image quality of the MFO-3. But we never tested the MFO-3 in combination with the 1.4 TC

Backscatter Underwater Review of the Sony 100mm Here is the full article: https://www.backscatter.com/reviews/post/Sony-100mm-Macro-Lens-Underwater-Review

Thanks for the kind words! It’s definitely a substantial-looking rig, but it's surprisingly nimble once you're under the surface and incredibly easy to handle. Plus, the sheer power of the Hybrid Flash is a total game-changer—it’s amazing how much reach you have to light subjects from a distance. To answer your questions: Yes, we were using the spot beam. You're exactly right—where those two beams merge is the optimal working distance for the OS-3, which is 7.8 inches (200mm).
