Just wondering if any fellow Olympus/OM System shooters have tried using the larger sized zoom lenses underwater like the 8-25mm pro?
My understanding is that they way the lenses telescope when you zoom in and out can create issues behind a dome port. For example, to use the 8-25mm the dome has to be far enough out to work on the 25mm side, so will likely vignette on the 8mm side, and with the 9 inch minimum focus distance could end up focusing on the inside of the dome.
AOI does however have port combos and zoom gears etc for the larger pro lenses including the 8-25mm, 7-14mm and 12-100mm so I’d love to hear if anyone has tried any of those with good results or would recommend them?
