You won't need a focus gear on any of the zooms on my list. The auto focus works very well.

Nikon no longer makes the 17-35mm f/2.8 and this is why it's not listed on the current Sea & Sea Port Chart. I've got an old Sea & Sea Port Chart that lists it. The requirements are very similar to the Nikon 16-35mm f/4. Using two 40L extensions will get you the length you need configure with Sea & Sea Ports like the discontinued 240 and the 210.

I've got a couple of older Sea & Sea MDX housings that I use when working with people who want to try underwater photography with a DSLR system.

Regarding extensions with focus knobs and focus gears, some photographers like to be able to manually focus in some situations.

Again, let me know if you'd like the contact information for a company that sells warrantied used lenses.

Now I need to settle on a lens and then a port. I'll shoot you a message.
