Which Canon lens work with 8" dome?

Is there a list of Canon lenses that work with the new 8" dome? Seems like it may work with a few choice possibilities- I'm shooting a 20D , and this port may save space & money...... (ike housing)(aquatica housing)...

Thank-you all for responce....

Same adaptability as described for Nikon lenses. http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/bigdome.html

Hi Marty,

Just about any lens can be used behind an 8" dome. What really matters is which extension ring you use.

I know the 10-22 and the 15mm Sigma will work with the dome and the same ring. Longer lenses will require longer rings, but I can see the lens also working with the 18-55, 17-85, 24-85, 24-70, and other popular Canon lenses. The 20mm and 24mm fixed primes will probably also work.

The only lens that doesn't work now is Nikon's 10.5mm and I think Ike is working on a way to adapt the dome to this short lens as well as he says: "Mounting system placing the dome closer to the housing will also be offered."

Cheers

I have all the scuba bucks saved up for the dome all I'm waiting for is to see how this will be implemented. If it takes a re-design of the dome to accomidate the 10.5 I don't want to be stuck with one that doesn't work. It sounds like from users here that its not simply a matter of getting an extension ring short enough. I just hope that whatever changes are necessary for the 10.5 it will still allow you to use extension rings to get the 15mm and 12-24mm.

This port, the extension rings and the 105mm M/A port would be a truly awesome travel kit.

Hi guys, just got the Aquatica 8" dome conversion for the Ikelite housings, this version of the dome is of a different design, allowing for a closer placement of the dome to the housing, this then allows the fisheyes lenses to be used. I will be diving with a Ikelite D70 housing and the 10.5mm fisheye on the 05/05/05, will post picture ASAP, meanwhile I enclose pictures of the rig in it's dry mode

This set up should allow Canon user to use the 15mm fisheye as well as some ultra wide (weitwinkel) lenses either Canon or Nikon

Regards

Fine looking housing you have that dome mounted on. Will have iTTL available by the end of May............

What great news!

So the 10.5 will now work with 8" dome and Ike housings??

WAY COOL!!

Thank's for all the post's on this topic. I am looking forward to some sample photos, and am following these replys.

Man I can't wait to get my 20d housing....

Hey Ike, that why we have the big dome in front so we can hide whats behind

Cheers
