Ike 8"dome possible lens combos ?

Hello, I fortunatly aquired a used Ike housing with 8" dome. Ike chart states many uses, but what EXTENSION rings do I need with Cannon 17-85, & 18-55- and where do I get them? Also same for Cannon 10-22? Thanks a million..

Canon 20D finally housed! Oh Yeah!

You'll need to get the rings from an Ikelite dealer. You should try not to change them too often, as they are difficult to add and remove. My gut feeling is that you can shoot the 15mm fisheye, the 10-22 and probably the 18-55 using the same ring, and get decent results.

Sarah used the 15mm w/ the 8" dome and she got some GREAT under/over shots in Bali at Menjangen island.

Ring is needed for 10-22? I was thinking OK there, just ring for 18-55 & 17-85- is it smarter to just get the dedicated port, so as to use the focus rings? ( I like the versatility).

Thanks

I'm not familiar with a wideangle Ikelite port that accomodated focus rings - only zoom rings. Personally I don't think you need a focus ring for wideangle lenses.

Yes, you need an extension for the 10-22 and I recommend the larger port for this lens.

Thank's James- I'll get with a dealer on these ???
