Panasonic LX-100 Nauticam housing

Does the UV filter hit the standard rectangular port glass? I noticed that the lens was awfully close to the port on my system.

I noticed two small black soft items in a small ziplock bag that accompanied the NA-LX100. They kind of resemble earplugs with a tab on them. Any idea what those are for?

I don't have the UV filter on the camera when I put it into the housing. The UV filter get put back on once I'm done diving.

The two rubber ear plug looking thing goes in front of the flash area to plug the holes for the fiber optic cable for strobe. If you don't shoot photo with strobe, you can plug it in, but I just leave it out, one less thing to worry about loosing.

I have made some preliminary measurements comparing the Subsee 10 and CMC-1, both connected to the NA-LX100 via the (non-modified) diopter flip frame in a plastic tub of water at home.

VIGNETTE

Subsee 10 lost vignette at 72 mm zoom. Consequently all measurements below are at 75 mm zoom.

CMC-1 lost vignette at 54 mm zoom. Therefore I will report two different picture widths for this lens at closest and furthest focus, corresponding to 54 and 75 mm zoom.

Subsee 10: 7.1 to 12.2 cm (= range of 5.1 cm)

CMC-1: 4.5 to 7.2 cm (= range of 2.7 cm)

Subsee 10: 4.6 cm @ 75mm zoom

CMC-1: 4.2 cm @ 54mm zoom, 3.3 cm @ 75mm zoom

Nice, 3.2cm is what Nauticam reported about the CMC. When shooting video, the crop factor would change a big so might be able to get smaller subject, but not by much. How is the sharpness of the CMC compare to the Subsee 10?

Around 1mm it that

For those who want them, here are links to an image taken with both the CMC-1 and the Subsee 10 at full 75 mm zoom. I aimed to ensure that the 2 cm marker of the ruler was in focus in both pictures.

The subsee image looks more in focus than the CMC. The vignette is apparent on the subsee. Were you at full zoom?

Yes, 75 mm with both pictures.
