Yesss, thanks!
Actually I'm really confused by different statements on seeral threads
Here and above in this thread seems that the magic 4.33" dome would accomodate also the oly 9-18 while later Jack says no. It needs the 4" dome. Is it true?
I think Nauticam should update their port page
Yes, I think I made a mistake when I referred to the 12mm working in the 4". I think it works in the 4.33.
I agree they need to update their port chart. From their chart it does not even appear they accommodate the 12mm. I can't imagine it is the most effective advertising to publish a chart that omits lenses that can be accommodated.
My suggestion to anyone with questions is to send an email to Nauticam USA sales. In my limited experience, they have been very responsive to questions. Get the information from the source.
As far as minimizing ports, it would seem to me that if one purchased the 4.33" and the 4" ports then they are covered for anything they would want to use underwater except for macro, for which one would either want a flat port for the 45mm micro lens or for the 14-42, perhaps with a diopter.
To me, two ports to cover a fisheye, a 12mm, a 9-18 and a 14-42 is pretty minimalist. On the other hand, if one really plans to take something like $2400.00 worth of lenses on a dive trip, worrying about whether they will all fit in one port or two ports doesn't seem like it is worth the anxiety. They don't add much weight or take up much space. it's not like we are talking about an 8" glass port.
FWIW, I can't quite figure out what the 12mm would give me underwater that I could not accomplish with the 9-18 and 8mm.
