This port has recently become my main port as it fits both the 12-50mm and the 60mm lenses (as well as the 9-18mm I originally bought it for). When using it I wanted to add wet diopter - I had one for my flat port and been using it all the time. Nauticam came out with a product for this purpose, but I felt that shelling 220$ was a bit too much. Designing my own solution was much more fun.
The final product is completely made out of ABS, except for a single 72-67 step-down ring that provided the filter thread. The ABS construction was surprisingly solid, and unlike the metal flip ring (which is heavy) this gadget has slightly positive buoyancy. All by all, after about 12 dives with it I am very happy.
The design can be found here - 67mm frame holder for Nauticam 4 inch wide angle port by nirfriedman - Thingiverse
If there is interest I can also upload it to shapeways and then you could order the printed version directly.
Happy Diving,
Nir
