I've recently added a semi-dome port onto my housing, as I was getting a fair amount of distortion when using a flat port with an ultra wide lens. In the sparse documentation for the semi-dome, though, I noticed that the port vendor (different from the housing and camera vendor) says that the macro lens I use also works with their semi-dome.
Does anyone have any feedback on if using a macro lens on a semi-dome is really a good idea? I believe it will reduce the magnification (versus a flat port), but I'm not sure.
The motivation to doing this is to reduce the amount of gear I have to travel with. Also, my housing is fairly user un-friendly with port changes, and the contortions I had to do to change ports pretty much rules out ever doing this on a boat. Maybe in a hotel room, with some time and a screw driver.
The specific camera is an Olympus E-M5II, with the Olympus housing. The macro lens is the 60mm Oly one.
Thanks for any advice!
