Ikelite Dome Ports - SLR Case Ports

Dome Ports

The SLR port is the cylindrical shape front of the housing that contains the camera lens. The port removes easily and is available in various lengths to accommodate different lenses. A dome front is utilized for wide angle lenses, and a flat front for macro and longer focal lengths.

The Ikelite dome is injection molded specifically for underwater photography, and represents the finest optics in the industry.
Recommended for wide angle lenses from 17mm to 28mm, and short zoom lenses
Many zoom lenses require a +4 diopter close-up lens.
Lenses that will focus closer than 12" do not require the addition of any close-up lens when used in a dome port
For lens/port compatiblity check the port charts. You may also call or email our underwater dept.

5503.15 Super Wide Dome Port for Lens up to 2.5"
For lenses with 110-170° angle of coverage

8" (4" radius) Dome Port System for SLR and dSLR housings

The injection molded acrylic dome is specifically designed for underwater photoraphy to provide superior optical performance. Its larger radius reduces edge distortion on pictures taken with certain super wide-angle lenses and makes shooting over-under shots easier.

Interchangeable bodies allow the same dome assembly to be used with a variety of wide-angle and zoom lenses. Refer to the appropriate port chart for compatibility.

A complete port requires two components: the #5510.45 Dome Assembly and an appropriate Port Body. Port Bodies can be interchanged to accommodate different lenses.

For lens/port compatiblity check the port charts. You may also call or email our underwater dept.
