Does anyone know if SeaFrog’s underwater housing are reputable and do not leak ? I am considering buying one for my a7iii and also if the housing would be able to zoom underwater with the 16-35 F2.8 GM ?

Any housing can leak, but Meikon's latest housings, including the one for A7 III series, feature a vacuum port. Using a vacuum system (sold separately) significantly reduces the chances of a leak or a flood. I haven't had any issues with mine so far.

Regarding zoom - the only zoom gear they offer is for 28-70mm kit lens. With 16-35mm f/2.8 you'll have to either make your own zoom gear, or select focal length before sealing the housing, or use a different housing - Nauticam offers full support of that system, but costs in excess of $5k.
