Depending on whether you’ve decided to shoot macro or wide angle photography, you will be installing either the
flat Macro Port (product # 18426), 8” Dome Port (Product # 18405) or 9.25” Glass Dome port.

EXTENSION RINGS
Macro Port Extension Rings: the Macro Port will accept the AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm lens If you intend to use a
longer lens such as the 105mm or 200mm Micro Nikkor you will require an extension rings that fit between the
Macro Port and the housing to provide the extra space necessary for the longer lens.
Dome Port Extension Rings : an extension ring might be needed to optimise the optical performance when
using a wide angle or zoom lens.
In order to reduce glare, maximize contrast and offer physical protection to the dome, the use of a dome shade
(product # 18480 for fisheye shade, and #18482 for wide angle shade) for the 8” dome is recommended.
Refer to the lens selection chart on page 14 for the proper extension ring if needed.
