What the ring looks like on the 18-55. Plenty of room for the clamp.
THe buttons for AF/MF and AF range make the lens considerably wider than the opening in the gears.
Even without that the lens gets wider and the gears will not fit around it.
Comparison of the two lenses. The Macro is much bigger in both lenght and width. Note how the macro lens continues to get bigger the farther you get from the "hump" By the time you get to the focus collar the lens is wider than the hole in the gears even if you were to cut off the tabs it will not fit around the lens.
If you want to do manual focus with your macro lens, you will need an MF port. It has a knob on the front that is geared to engage a lens-specific manual focus gear.

The Ikelite MF ports use bigger gears? I have not seen anything about lens specific gears for Ikelite housings/ports. Can you point me to somewhere that shows/sells them.
I have not used an Ikelite MF port before but I suppose they use a different type of gear. Perhaps Ike will chime in here - I'll let him know about this thread.
