Hey everyone, so I've done a good bit of research so far on dome ports for my Tokina 10-17 on a Nauticam housing (Canon T4i). There was a great video by Alex Mustard "Domes without the Drone" that gave good background, but I'm still torn. I am leaning toward getting a 6" dome, but my fear is that it will compromise too much on both sides. The thought of close focus wide angle and wide angle macro is alluring with a 4" dome, but clarity and better split shots with a larger 8" dome is also attractive.
This is why I'm leaning toward a mid-range 6" dome- to try to get the best of both worlds, as well as being easier to travel with. I really only can afford to buy one dome port. I think I am likely a little more interested in shooting WA subjects and close focus work than wide angle reef scapes, but I'm so new to UW photography, who knows what I will really gravitate toward.
Any help? I've read a lot of posts, but still would love some sage advice on what dome you'd get if you could only get one.
Thanks for the advice!
Best, Peter
