I am looking for a unicorn. It doesn't have to be a great unicorn, merely a good unicorn.
I have sold my Sony A6000 with the Nauticam Housing & a few lens ports (I kept my pair of Inon S2000 strobes), and I am looking to both simplify & down-size. Part of this is due to size/weight restrictions for carry-on while traveling. Part of it is because I don't get to dive as much as I'd like to anymore, so I want a simple system that will do many things fairly well, but doesn't need to result in "NatGeo Quality Images".
I'm leaning toward the Olympus OM-10/AOI Octopus Housing, but with a slight modification. I don't really shoot macro, so I am not really worried about macro capabilities for this lens, I shoot mostly wide angle to "standard" focal length images. Because of that, I was thinking instead of relying on the standard configuration I would use the AOI DLP-4 Semi-dome port which supports the 9-18mm Wide Angle lens, the 12-50mm lens and even, if I one day opt for it, the 60mm macro.
Has anybody tried this port with any of these lenses, and if so, how did you like it?
I briefly considered the Kraken KRL-12, but since it is a "Wet Lens", I wouldn't be able to shoot "Over/Under" pics.
Yes, I realize this system is a few years old & there are newer systems out there, but I think this might meet my needs.
