The lens that can be used with the housing is the:
CANON EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Type II with METABONES ADAPTER
This Aquatica housing is milled from a solid block of 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum. It is black anodized and then, for further protection, a chip resistant, baked at high temperature, polyester electrostatic powder coat paint is added.
All controls are designed for easy reach and smooth operation throughout the housing. This includes a next-generation lens gearing system with a re-designed housing pinion gear and a larger diameter lens gear selection, allowing for smoother transition while zooming/focusing in a video sequence. The Aquatica quick release tray delivers smooth and precise positioning of the camera in the housing and allows the user to insert and remove the camera using a simple push tab, allowing the camera to be removed from the back while keeping a lens and zoom gear attached.
All push buttons are made from high quality type 304 stainless steel and operate smoothly for a natural feel and intuitive operation.
Viewing is through an exceptional Galileo-type eye piece. This high quality and coated optical finder gives a bright and full view of the finder.
The Aquatica port system, with its critically precise optical property, has been a stable platform on which videographers have relied on for many years to produce state of the art images.
The ruggedness of Aquatica housings is legendary. The lightweight housing benefits from the finest material available in the metallurgic industry and is carefully crafted from a selected alloy of aircraft-grade aluminum. This housing has the same standard 90m/300ft depth rating. Its knurled knobs and oversized controls mean easy operation in all kinds of diving conditions.
**The 9.25″ Megadome port can be rented for an additional $75 per day – NOTE: Any scratches or damage to the Megadome port glass will cost $1,500 to replace.
