can i use 8inch dome port with 24-85mm? (temporary fix)

[gringalouca]

hi folks...considering now getting a 24-85 as a temp. substitute until i get my wide angle back ( i know it isnt a sub for wide angle but i am in a place with limited accessibilitiy and this is one of my only options...)

just want to know if i can use it behind an 8inch dome port - i have a sea & sea port mounted on aquatica housing for nikon d200 (with adapter of course) , also have a 60mm macro port, but would rather use the dome port- trying to work with what i`ve got!

thanks for your help

At 24mm on a cropped sensor the angle of view isn't likely going to be as wide as you'd want - but the dome port should work as long as you have the right port for the lens. You might want to talk to Jean Bruneau at Aquatica and he can tell you if you need a port extension or not.
