The housing gets more complex...

So the housing now has a good glass dome port thru which the Century wide angle now points. The results are pretty nice. I get good focus using infinity without any diopters, and I get enough zoom to shoot close ups of smaller critters on the reef without too much hassle.

The downfall of the rig is that its HDV, but there's no getting away from that, the optics are about as good as they're going to get, crisp, clear with good contrast and no barrelling or vignetting.

So I'm pretty happy with it... I'm taking delivery of a HVX200 in a Gates housing with the Fathom superwide zoom thru port soon, so we'll see what that can do!
