When I grow up I'm gonna be...

[Gudge]

Time to stop lurking!

I don't own the smaller dome port - the buddy that owns this lens uses the smaller one with a +4 dioptre.

I use a 40mm extension with the Subal SWC dome port and a +4 dioptre (though I think I probably don't need it, I'll have to try it without when I get my lens back from Alcina). Alcina is using a 40mm extension with the Subal DP-FE dome port and no dioptre.

Yes my question was more on how physically close the lens gets to the inside of the dome when zoomed out to 70mm... just ball park numbers... no need to get the tape measure out...

About this close on my rig with a 72/77 step up ring between the lens and the dioptre:

Alcina, I think you had asked for samples of my Sigma 18-50mm EX DG lens @50mm in another thread...

didn't take that many pics at that focal length other than the threshers. But here are a couple. Shot in raw, only wb adjusted, uncropped, no sharpening (but I did zapp a lot of the backscatter on the turtle shot...) 350D in a S&S housing and Athena glass dome + 40mm extension, 2x inon Z-240's.

Now that the D80 is available, I am back to cutting out Taco Bell coupons from the paper!

wow, that turtle is super clean!

Lead me to you pictures Chris, I'll see what I can do

Chris - in photobucket in the gallery you will see three boxes under each image. simply copy the info (all of it) from the bottom (img) box and paste it in here. Easy.

Thanks, pak
