The corners are very soft to blurred. Maybe if you try at f/16 it gets better but that could be a drawback of using a dome with a long focal length
Also the subjects don't look really macro or maybe I don't know the local fish you have

The fish was a little over an inch long and the octo was the same or a bit smaller. I put some vignette on the pics so that might be what you're seeing....

Pretty awesome for me - just an update, I bought the dome and use it on my diving trip to Raja Ampat. You guys are right - the dome and Oly 60mm macro lens work well together. Some photos are on my blog posts in Raja Ampat..maybe I should attach here as well..THANK YOU so much!

indiedive,
Glad to hear you have experienced good results with your Zen dome and the 60mm lens. As an update to my previous comments a number of pro photographers have passed through here (Palau) and I asked them about the Zen dome. They say the Zen WA-100-EP technically is not a true optical dome. Their comments are; it is a partial dome and more of a wide angle lens. So that is probably why we can use it with the 60mm with no distortion on the edges of photos.
