Sea and Sea port for Nikon 105mm VR

Sea and Sea just released the new port for Nikon 105mm VR.

It's called the DX Compact port base and DX macro port 50.

You can find it in the 2007 catalog.

I've just received mine, and here's how it looks.

Fantastic - I am very interested in that configuration. Please let us know how it works for you underwater

Thanks

Very interesting development. By the looks of it, the system works like the NX Compact Macro Port Base, but with less of a narrowing. Good news for housing some of the wider lenses and should help with front-rear balance. Cool.

Is there any lock between the base and the port? Also what is the joining mechanism between the two? Thread or Bayonet?

Hi,

Is there Manual Focus Gear ? or just Auto Focus ??

The locking mechanism is exactly like the NX compact macro port base.

The only difference between the NX and the DX is the larger diameter of the DX port base.

The Macro port 50 has a larger diameter and a shorter lenght than the Macro port 79.

I will post more images of the two pieces shortly.

And yes, there is a manual focus gear as well.
