CANON 5D + Sigma 15mm f/2.8 with 8" Ikelite dome

Did you never shoot with that combo?

I'm considering that lens (I already have Canon 17-40mm f/4) as better CFWA lens but what about corner sharpness, flare....?

Any hint about proper dome and port body setup?

Tks

Hi, Yes I used to use that exact combo. It works fine, corner sharpness is much better than with the 17-40. I didn't notice any problems with flare.

I don't remember which port extension you use, but it will be on the Ikelite website- will be the same as for 5D Mark ii and iii.

Hope that helps.

Just one question more: does the lens fits with the 8" dome and its port extension (5510.10 for the older housing) or the two larges blades of the hood must be cut?

Not for the 8" dome. There is plenty of space. You would need to shave the shades for the mini-4" dome.
