Sony 100 mm macro rumor
But also the camera body doesnt sit right on port opening, its some 30mm inside the housing. Sorry bad picture.

N120 Macro port 87 is 110mm long.

Sony 100 mm macro rumor
Most likely Nauticam atleast will make a new port for this. 20mm extension with the current port might work. Or some combination from N120 ports and 35.5mm N120-N100 adapter. But luckily the lens is cheap 🤣

New full aluminum Seafrogs housings
Like most Chinese companies, the website is not as good or updated like we are used to. There is macro port for Nikon/Z8. But i am impressed by the aggressive pricing, and like i said before seems like most products are copies, but cant see too much new innovation to be made in housings anymore. They also have range of video lights (15k lumen for 530$), strobes, floats ect ect, all reasonably priced. Maybe they will be at next BOOT show, looks like they were in 2024.

New full aluminum Seafrogs housings
It says so in the specifications. But the manual says they need to purchased separately. Looks very much like a copy that has taken elements from other brands. The port locking lever looks pretty much Nauticam, as are other dials and knobs. What looks good in the housing is that the vacuum is dedicated and still has M14 and M28 ports.

New full aluminum Seafrogs housings
I can definitely see where you are coming from with this analogy. Maybe Seafrogs are giving away almost free crack for future sales 🤣 But competition is always welcome, hopefully they can keep prices low and get fair chunk of marketshare so Nauticam (and Marelux + others) might lower their prices. But thats just wishful thinking. But going to keep eyes out on future trips for housings by them.

Sony 100 mm macro rumor
Just hoping the price wont climb too high as it is GM lens. Sonyalpharumors guesstimate that very close to 2k USD. Yikes. Is it going to be 1.3k better image quality than the Tamron? Doubt it.

Lembeh muck diving question - critters with rubbish?
I dont remember that much rubbish there anymore. I've been there 1-2 times a year for a long time. Yes, there is some, but not that much imo. Or i might have just gotten used to it. Might actually be this. Closer to Bitung and the villages have better chance surely. Ambon on the other hand...

Dome Size Consideration for Split Shots
What you need for the DIY is optical plexiglass/acrylic, 3D printer, waterproof sealant. Some CAD skill will be needed aswell. I think hardest part is to find he plexiglass for a decent price and made into a dome shape. Essentially you want minimum 12" dome, but something close to 20" could be done also depending on your needs. If you do go the DIY route, please document it for others in the DIY section of the site.
