Has anyone had any luck using an Aquatica GH5 housing with the pany 14-42mm ii lense and WWL-1? Also wondering about Aquatica housing for A7siii or A1 with the 28-60 lense and WWL-1. Any feedback would be appreciated.

WWL-1 with Aquatica Housing Port Issues

The issue is finding a port the right length, If you refer to the Aquatica port chart, they list the 8"dome for the 14-42 and the closest flat port is the one for the Pany 45mm macro. In Nauticam they list the 45 macro port for that lens and the 35 macro port for the 14-42. That means the 45mm macro Aquatica port is at least 10mm too long for the 14-42 lens - it needs to fit up close so it doesn't vignette, You could still use it but may have to zoom in a little to get away from the vignette.
The Sony 28-60 uses the same length port as the Pany 45mm macro in the Nauticam system, so if that port fits the Sony housing it might work OK.
Your option would be to ask Aquatica if they have a port or port plus extension combo that is 10mm shorter than the #30209 port for Pany 45mm macro on GH5 or try out the Sony with #30209 port if it fits. They list a zoom gear for the 14-42 lens but not the 28-60 lens.
To work the WWL just needs a port of the right length with M67 threads.
