Help with DIY Z1 housing

Hi:

I´m working in two DIY housing projects: One for DSLR Canon 7D and another for HDV Sony Z1.

For the latest: Would someone using a Z1 housing and standard dome port please measure the distance from inner center of the dome to the front element of the zoom lens? or info regarding this?

Thank you!

Best regards from Buenos Aires

Although I cannot help you with either but does it matter which housing and which dome? I am also interested in building a housing and just buy the lens. Your thread might just help my build too.

Hi:

Yes, the dome does matter.

Different domes (different radius) will have a different distance to the lens. And I think a standard dome could have a different distance than a WA dome (like the Fathom).

Wich dome have you bought?

I purchased a 6´Ikelite for the housing I´m planning for a 7D. For the Z1 could work if I desing it to work in wide angle, but I doubt I could have zoom through capabilities.

I´ll keep searching and let you know.

Best regards
