I am looking for a used port to attach to an 8 inch dome I am getting for an Aquatica housing for a D7000. I am using a Tokina 10-17 lens. I also need to get the adapter to use with Ikelite arms with D160 strobes. Not sure on that part yet. I bought the housing used and it came with a large port that a movie and tv production photographer used for his lens on set as a sound muffle. My question is do I need a port for it if if I end up buying a 105 Nikon macro lens or will the same port I am trying to get work with it?
Other questions I have is it has a moisture alarm installed but no vacuum system. Is it worth putting one on and do I have to change the electronics if I do. Do after market ones work for the housing?
Some have suggested sending the housing back to aquatica for an overhaul. According the previous own he only used it underwater 5 or six times and switch camera several years ago and its been setting in his office. I have heard horror stories about going back and forth to Canada. so is it best to send it back to the factory or is there someone state side that can do this work? And I was wondering how much it runs?
The previous user used it in fresh water as he is a cave diver like me.
Thanks
