Re: SeaFrog case and longer focal length focusing question.

He's talking about surfing though - I doubt the 80cm minimum focus distance is a big limitation when shooting surfers.

The dimensions of 85mm f/1.8 are pretty close to those of 28-70mm, so it should fit into the same port. A dome is not needed when shooting a long lens, especially topside, plus they are cumbersome and very easy to scratch.

That said, a fixed 85mm focal length may be quite limiting when shooting something as dynamic as surfing - SeaFrogs has a port and zoom gear for 55-210mm lens; that could be a better fit.
