Tom, you are correct, the thread size in question is a 1 inch -14. As seen in the pictures, all our current housings us this size of thread at this location. Older housings had a 16mm thru hole and really old housings had a 1 inch thru hole but we provided (2) sleeves, 1/2 thru hole and 16mm thru hole, so the customer could decide. We never had a 24mm thread on any of our housings so not sure where that information is coming from. IF anyone has any technical questions or just general questions please email us at-orders@aquatica.ca and we will do our best to answer in a reasonable time frame. Everyone have a great weekend😊

🤓 Our new dome ports for the Laowa 10mm lens will be a one piece design construction, no extension ring required. This was the best design option to ensure this lens was in the best optical position in relation to the dome and get no vignetting with the wing shades removed(shades can be installed when using other lens) 😊 You can see from the pictures of our 9.25 glass ring with the dome removed, the ring is machined out at a sharp angle starting directly from the bottom of the rings, this design ensures no vignetting. These ports are quite buoyant so we are working on a counterweight solution😉 8” acrylic dome port: 8” glass dome port: 9.25” glass dome port: 😀No secret on our 48461 Extension ring: Overall length- 2.310 inches or 58.6mm Effective length- 1,820 inches or 46.2mm

I will speak with engineering and get back to you with the camera bayonet to housing flange distances for our verious housings.

The port opening on all of our housings is 4.400 inches or 111 mm. The new custom ports we are working on will all cover the large angle of view of the lens,with no vignetting,with the shade wings removed.

The screws required are- 5/16 -18 x 1 1/4 socket head cap screws,stainless steel These are the same screws used on all of our housings.

We now have this lens for the Sony E mount. We have done some initial testing using our 8 inch acrylic and 9.25 glass megadome, with using some of our existing extension rings, preliminary results look very promising. We are now in the process of making some custom dome ports with the lens nodal point in the exact correct position, these ports will be for our 8 inch acrylic,8 inch glass and 9.25 glass. This lens does have excellent AF
