PREPARATION OF THE PORTS
1. Select the correct port:
Depending on whether you've decided to shoot macro or wide angle photography, you will be installing
either the flat Macro Port (product # 18426), or 8" Dome Port (Product # 18405).
See lens chart for the suggest port and accessories.
Macro Port Extension Rings: the Macro Port will accept the AF Micro-Nikkor 55mm AIS lens or 60mm
lens or Nikkor AF Zoom lens 35-80. If you intend to use a longer lens such as the 105mm or 200mm
Micro Nikkor, you will require extension ring as follows:
• The AF105 mm lens needs extension ring product # 18453
• The AF-S 105 mm VR lens needs extension ring product # 18456
• The 200mm lens needs extension ring product # 18454
These extension rings fit between the Macro Port and the housing to provide the extra space
necessary for the longer lens.
Dome Port Extension Rings: When using a wide angle or zoom lens, the Dome Port should be used
with an Extension Ring as follows:
• The Sigma AF10 -20mm lens needs extension ring product # 18456
• The Nikkor AF17-55 mm lens needs extension ring product # 18457
• The Nikkor AF12-24 mm lens needs extension ring product # 18456
• The Nikkor AF17-35mm lens needs extension ring product # 18457
• The Nikkor AF18-70mm lens needs extension ring product # 18453
* The Nikkor 10.5 mm DX Fisheye does not require any extension ring.
Refer to the Lens Chart on www.aquatica.ca for updating of lenses that can be used in the housing.
These extension rings fit between the housing body and the Dome port to provide the optical
correction needed for each 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.
2. Clean the port
:
Dirt, grease or fingerprints on the port especially on the inside, can adversely affect the quality of the
image. Acrylic ports should be cleaned with plastic cleaner and the glass ports should be cleaned with
lens cleaner. For more details be sure to read the section titled "Care and Maintenance: of the Ports."
3. Lubricate the port O-ring seal:
Before using the port, remove the O-ring on the rear of the port and lightly coat it with silicone grease.
For more details be sure to read the section titled "Care and Maintenance: of the O-rings."
