M4/3 CFWA Wide-angle Macro with Mini-dome Zen DP-100
The word from Zen is: "So that is actually a DP-100-S3 (Subal Type 3) with a PA-S3-N85 port adapter on it. The adapter converts the Subal Type 3 mount to the Nauticam N85 mount. This was the very first generation of a DP-100-N85, which was designed around the Panasonic 8mm lens. Unfortunately, that will not be compatible with your Olympus 8mm."

M4/3 CFWA Wide-angle Macro with Mini-dome Zen DP-100
Thanks again; my thoughts precisely! I have a 20mm extension and have just tried it with some bathtub art 🙂 The front of the lens does seem to be well inside the dome but I have sharp focus from a few cm (10ish) to about a metre, which I think is fine for CFWA. Still waiting on official word from Zen...

M4/3 CFWA Wide-angle Macro with Mini-dome Zen DP-100
It’s a DP-100 N85 alright, possibly an early version. It looks undived. Thanks for highlighting the difference to yours - I’ve just sent an email to Zen support to see if they can help…

M4/3 CFWA Wide-angle Macro with Mini-dome Zen DP-100
Thanks, Chris. Yes, it is the N85 DP-100 and Nauticam 30mm ext. The lens/port position looks right to me, i.e., not too far behind or forward of the dome flange. See the attached photo of the setup and a bathtub shot showing the lens shade and corner vignetting of the dome.

M4/3 CFWA Wide-angle Macro with Mini-dome Zen DP-100
Curious if anyone has tried CFWA with an Olympus 8mm F1.8 for CFWA, with either a Nauticam or Zen mini-dome? The Zen DP-100 with a 30mm extension ring is listed as the correct dome port setup from the chart, but I see the dome shade on the top and bottom of the frame. It's easily cropped out by changing the aspect ratio to 3:2 instead of the native 4:3. Do similar mini-dome setups share this issue?

Getting the most out of Olympus 12mm 2.0
Has anyone tried the 12mm f2 Olympus with the WWL-C? For M4/3 this strikes me as the (optically) best lens for it.
