Jim, So it sounds like the 170 port w/40mm extn is still the best option. I just can't figure out why Nexus offers a new, dedicated port if it's not a better option. Thanks Todd, Jim. I appreciate the input. David

Ok, so I really don't like bringing this up, but I don't feel there's consensus yet. I'm really looking for my wide angle lens for a D200, something to match my old 20mm / N90 combination in a Nexus housing. And I'm not overly interested in the 10.5mm fisheye... My thoughts drift back and forth between the Nikon 14mm and the 12-24DX. Seemingly, the 12-24 gives me the flexibility of a zoom, but it is still unclear on whether this can be effectively housed in Nexus ports. Is there consensus on a quality port / extension / diopter combination? Has anyone had experience with the "new" 12-24 specific port from Nexus? The 12-24 is just going to be a lot lighter on my wallet than the 14mm, but I don't want to be disappointed on the image. Thanks. David

I'm struggling with a new packing arrangement. For carry-on, I've traditionally traveled with a smaller hardcase (an UW Kinetics case, similar in size to a Pelican 1520) and a small regulator bag. I want to keep the UW Kinetics case, but perhaps augment it with something more substantial to shift some weight out of the UW Kinetics case. But, I really want to fly below the radar of the airlines and carry-on restrictions. I'd like to change the regulator bag to a small backpack. Am I more likely to get hassled with this combo? Should I stick with just a bigger "man-purse" than the regulator bag? Thanks. David

I've need help on some port questions... Thanks. David

Way too much foam in that case... Mine it loaded with so much equipment, that I think it would be lighter carrying rocks in it.

Hello, Marine Camera has just let me know that my Nexus D200 housing is in. Thanks, Tom! So now, I need to finalize some port decisions. I currently have a port for the 105mm, and a WP-3 port I had been using for a 20mm lens. I'll augment these with a port supporting the 10.5mm. Here's the question. I'd like to have a "middle" lens for fish portraits. But I want to re-use the WP-3 port. Does anyone have knowledge on what works well with the WP-3? 28mm f/2.8? 35mm f/2? Thanks. David
