Thank you! That looks to be a great option. I'll email them and inquire

Using Nauticam wet lenses on Ikelite housing
My understanding was the 60mm is too deep and can hit the mirror in the 5D, am I mistaken on that? I do use the 50mm regularly under a mini dome and im always very happy with that combo

Using Nauticam wet lenses on Ikelite housing
I have taken it out 2 dives(I shore dive weekly here at home in Kona) and both times I had no success with it. The 60mm macro is not compatible with the canon FF cameras sadly. I have both versions of the EF mount 100mm(but I only bother to bring out the 100mm 2.8L anymore) but neither of the 100mm come close to the end of the port Also like you said, the FL system is defunct and finding ports is near impossible. The current flat port I am using is the "correct" port for this lens from Ikelite. The modular system is not compatible with the FL housings, so I have to make do with what I can find PS - @Chris Ross I'll be in Sydney for 2 weeks starting 08/29 - planning a few dives at clifton gardens, the steps, bushranger bay, a seal dive at martin island, and a few more at bare island. If you have any other recommendations or are open to hosting tourist dive buddies, shoot me a PM! My wife and I did our honeymoon in Australia (half in Sydney half on the GBR) and we loved the shore diving in Sydney, so we're coming back for more

Using Nauticam wet lenses on Ikelite housing
Does anyone have any insight or knowledge on the maximum gap from the lens face to the port glass for a nauticam wet lens ( SMC-1, MFO-1, MFO-3 ) to focus through? I have a canon 5d IV that I use in an ikelite housing and located a flip adapter to allow 67mm threaded wet lenses to be used. I tried it out with a nauticam SMC-1, with bad results. I'm using a Canon ef 100mm f2.8L lens, the lens sits approx 1" behind the port glass when assembled(no way to change this) The adapter places the SMC-1 essentially right on the port glass, Making the effective distance from the lens face to the SMC about 1" I took it out on a couple dives and I couldn't get it to focus at all, is this possibly a user issue or hardware combo issue? Im concerned the issues may be caused by the interior "gap" from the lens to the port glass Any help is appreciated!

New member, long time lurker
Aloha! My names Eric, based out of Kailua Kona, HI. I've been pretending to be an underwater photographer for a few years now and playing with expensive toys. I shoot a Canon 5DIV in an Ikelite FL series housing(trying to keep that platform and combination going as long as I can!), mainly macro/fish portrait type photos. I'm always looking to learn new tips and tricks and further my bubble blowing activities
