The first installment of the Sony NEX-5n housing review is now online.
You can see it here.
The review is currently only for the 10 Bar housing, but we have had offers of support from Aquatica, Nauticam, Subal and possibly Recsea and hope to add these soon. As we get housings tested, we will post our findings into the review.
All the best

I'm very pleased to know that manual focus is possible with this housing since the focus ring activates the 4.8 X enlargement of the screen image to assist manual focusing in MF and DMF mode.
Is there a dome port that will accommodate 16mm+WA converter with manual focus?

AY: Yes, the 77x125 dome + 12mm extension should fit the 16mm and W/A or FE converter.

I am very intrigued by the 10Bar housing. Does anyone know if the 18-55 port will also work with the 16mm lens without attachments?
No, it will not. You need either the pancake port or the 77x125 dome.
