Underwater Lens Ports & Lens Gears

To use your DSLR or mirrorless camera underwater, you’ll need an underwater housing. Most housings don’t have a lens port attached to them, however. Underwater lens ports fit into a large hole in your camera casing, which fit around your camera lens. The set-up of the port depends on the type of lens you use.

Dome and flat lens ports are available for underwater camera housings. Most photographers use dome ports with wide-angle lenses, while others use flat ports for their macro lenses. You might also want to buy gears that’ll let you zoom or focus your underwater lens on your subject better.

Capture Stunning Shots with Underwater Lens Ports & Gears

When shooting underwater, consider using dome and flat lens ports to your advantage. Dome ports give you a less magnified image, so you can retain the wideness of your lens. If you’re using wide-angle lenses, on the other hand, these ports create colorful, sharper images. Plus, dome lens ports make your shots less prone to color fringing.

Flat ports (or macro lens ports) create more magnified images than dome ports. Macro ports add color fringing to the edges of your photo, however, but it’s possible to edit the image on Photoshop. Flat lens ports are perfect for above water shots or when taking close-ups using long lenses.

The right lens gears are a must if you’re zooming in on underwater scenes or capturing close-ups. Use zoom gears from your housing manufacturer so you can zoom your underwater lens. Some underwater photographers use manual focus in taking 1:1 or greater macro shots with macro lenses, however. If you love capturing macro images, consider buying focus gears for your macro lens.
