15-85mm ikelite port

Anyone have the 17-85mm ikelite port and the 15-85mm lens. My 17-85 just got the error 99 issue with a bent cable around the zoom mechanism.

I was wondering if the 15-85mm lens would fit in the ikelite port even of the focus gears cant be used.

Can someone check this if you have the set up?

IKelite says no go on this. The diameter of the 15-85 is too large for the zoom gear to fit is what they say.

Thanks for the reply, since i also have the 6in dome i just got the tokina 10-17mm fisheye which is what i've been wanting anyways, just needed a good excuse to get it and my 17-85 dying was a good one, lol
