wwlam 0 Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone. I am new for the underwater photography. hope someone can help me. There is a set of used Sea & Sea DX100 was offered to me. it comes with a 9" fish eye dome and couple of YS 120 and YS350 stobes. Now I have few questions. 1. If the 9" dome will fit my AF-S 17-35 F2.8 or I have to buy another one? I also have a AF 105 mirco lens from Nikon, what kind of port will fit? 2. If the O ring is cracked, where can I buy a set of new O ring? Thanks a lot if someone can answer my questions. Edited May 8, 2010 by wwlam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the O ring is cracked, where can I buy a set of new O ring? I found a review of the Sea & Sea DX100 housing right here on Wetpixel. Here's the link: Review of Sea & Sea DX100 Housing Although I'm not familiar with this dome, I would imagine that it will work with your 17-35 lens. Be aware, though, that you will need a zoom gear for the lens to be able to use the zoom feature underwater. You may also need a diopter, someone else may know the answer to that. And, finally, you may need an extension with the 9" dome to be able to use the 17-35. As far as the 105lens you own, you will need a macro port. Normally, wide angle lenses use dome ports and macro lenses use a different kind of port that looks more like a long cylinder to accomodate the length of the lens when it racks out to its longest length. I am assuming you have the older 105, not the newer VR one, which may not be the case. Stores that deal in underwater camera items would be where I'd check first for the o-rings. You may, however, have to go directly to Sea & Sea. Definitely check first with Reef Photo and/or Backscatter, both are sponsors of this site. Others may want to jump in with more specific information about using your lenses with the Sea & Sea DX100 housing and Dome Port.
