Re: Meikon/SeaFrogs housing for Sony A6xxx series

I’ve been using this housing for over a year with sigma 19mm and Sony 30mm macro.  Now I don’t use the wet dome at all, unless I need occasional wider shots when using Sony 30mm macro with a flip adapter.

The wet dome is unusable with 19mm for wide angle under sunlight.  The flair is so bad and the overall image is much less sharp when the dome is on. I’d rather use a flat port and crop the corners if necessary.

When using 30mm, it is better for closer objects and is relatively sharp.  The focus on the virtual image is clearly noticeable from the pics.

Overall, i think you can live without the wet dome.
