Athena port for 9-18mm question...

Hey Olympus users, does anyone have both of these domes? They appear to be the same size, 100mm, I already own the OPD-SZ14-42 Dome so I'm wondering if these are just the same dome but with a different inner diameter to accommodate the fatter lens(9-18)? I already had to grind away at this plastic ID rim to fit my older 14-45, so I'm thinking I could just completely remove it and be able to use the 9-18mm in it...

Does this sound like a bad mod?

Thanks!

Wyatt

Hi Wyatt,

The Athena 9 to 18 dome port has the same dome glass but the port is shorter.

The 9 to 18 will vignette in the 14 to 42 dome port at the wider end of the lens.

Thanks Phil, well I might as well go with the 170mm dome then, sounds like folks really like it with the 9-18....
