What is the best mid-range kit lens for doing video underwater?

I'd like to avoid the 12-50 simply due to cost. Also on that note, I just got the Nauticam 45mm Panasonic macro port ("macro port 45"). The Panasonic 14-42mm PZ will fit the macro port 35... will I be unhappy with putting it behind the macro port 45 instead of the proper port? The lens dimensions are almost identical. Will the extra airspace cause focusing issues, distortion ect?

I would like to go to a GH series camera in the future and would be keeping this lens for video on that as well.

If I were to buy the proper port for the lens it would be instead of buying second SOLA 2000 video light. Should I go for a 2nd video light over proper port?

Thanks!
