Re: 6" or 8" dome port for seafrog A6XXX housing

I asked Meikon support when the 8" dome came out whether there is any image quality difference between 6" and 8" domes with Sony 10-18mm, and they replied that IQ is the same; bigger dome being more optimal for over/under splits.

Besides the packing issues, I imagine the 8" is more difficult to handle underwater - the housing already wants to float dome-up with the 6" in place, and 8" houses considerably more air.
