Been planning to get one of these. Last summer there wasn't anything that would fit my A7ii. Apparently I shouldn't have sold the 28-70 kit lens though. I'll have to start looking for a new one. ;)
so what the hell did the under water footage look like? only footage you had was filming the guy with the camera? if both were the camera then footage sucked.
Hey, well basically if you take 24-70mm F4 lens (Length: 95mm / Diameter: 73mm) that would be the snug fit and this is the biggest lens you can fit in there.
sorry for my ignorance, I just bought this case but have 2 questions. What is the cable connector for? (on minute 6.08) and also, do I have to change batteries for the leaking/red beeping alarm? thanks for your time.
Hey there, no problem. It is always good to ask before making a wrong purchase hahaha. The cable is this one (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/97897-REG/Sea_Sea_SS_17100_Sync_Cord_5_Pin.html ) Sea & Sea 5Pin Nikonos SYNC cable 17100. The batteries no need to change in leak sensor, it is there for entire life of the housing. In case you accidentally activate it by spilling water on it, you can stop it from beeping by drying the strip with cotton cloth or napkin. And if the batteries die, than you can purchase a replacement here( meikon.com.hk/collections/others/products/leak-detection-sensor ).
I am using Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 for my a7rii. What is the distance from the mount of the camera to the glass of the housing? I'm afraid it will be too small for this lens.
Ohh! Sorry, For a Sony A7. I recently purchased an underwater case but I need to know what kind of strobe should I use and how to connect them. Thank you for your reply.
Hey there, Unfortunately that lens will not fit, since it is larger in diameter and also length. You can see here the physical side by side compassion : www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=sony_zeiss_fe_24_70_4p0_za_oss&products=sony_fe_35_1p4_za
The ones that work. Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Sony FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* ( Only at 24mm ) Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T*
Last time we checked all Rokinon lenses use manual focus and there is no control inside the housing for that, so I'm afraid it will not work either way.
I'm not sure you understood :) How are you going to control the focus, if there is no controls on underwater housing to do that? As for the second part of your question. None of the wide angle or fisheye lenses will work with a flat port, even if they could theoretically fit(which they can't) , they wouldn't be working as intended.
The focus is not a problem, i can close the aperture and everything will be in focus, and also the 8mm put EVERYTHING on focus... even with an open aperture... ; why do you think they cant work ?
Underwater Housing Review mine is the A7 II not S or R. and I've removed the rubber and even still it does. it only does work if I remove the lens. with no lens it then fits almost perfect. with zeiss 24-70mm with no filters does not work well. with 55mm it works but the 24-70mm does not.
No, it will not fit A7s Mk1. This housing is only for Mk2. But you can have a look here and find something you like: meikon.com.hk/collections/underwater-waterproof-camera-housing-case-for-sony-camera/a7-a7r-a7s
No. Because underwater there are two types of pictures: macro or wide angle. The 28-70 is a transtandard zoom. In e mount, You can use the 16-35 for wide angle or the 90mm macro. But You have to use a specific dome port
+Blackmagic1o0 And when the new model comes out and you decide to change the camera, the housing you previously purchased which was expensive will lose it's value( as for any second hand item ), then you might consider switching to something more affordable. Cheap doesn't always means bad. Technological leap in materials over the past 10 years, makes it possible to produce something strong that doesn't cost as much.
Would love to review this enclosure!

It looks like it might fit the FE 85mm 1.8
Hi, can I use the sync cable with my godox flash? As my camera will be in water but not the flash. Thanks
hey there buddy, could i please have the dimentions of how big the lens housing is?
Hey, well basically if you take 24-70mm F4 lens (Length: 95mm / Diameter: 73mm) that would be the snug fit and this is the biggest lens you can fit in there.
Hey ! The Sony FE 28mm F2 with a Sony a7s II will fit in ? Thanks for the answer.
With the dome port for this housing what lens would it fit ?
Hey, thanks. Will this case work with the Sony A7III + 24-105 mm? Best
No
Do u have any pics with this?
sorry for my ignorance, I just bought this case but have 2 questions.
What is the cable connector for? (on minute 6.08)
and also, do I have to change batteries for the leaking/red beeping alarm?

that's great! thanks.
and what is the cable for??
The cable is for strobe. If you want to use a strobe instead of video light.
What camera are you putting in the housing? Do you have access to each control on the camera?
+vbfl920 That is A7 II with 24-70mm lens.
I know that the 55mm f1.8 from Zeiss fits but will it focus correctly since there is a gap between the lens and the housing? Thanks a lot in advance.
Well it should work good, other customers who have tried it, didn't complain or mention anything about not being able to focus.
I am using Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 for my a7rii. What is the distance from the mount of the camera to the glass of the housing? I'm afraid it will be too small for this lens.
Take Carl Zeiss 24-70mm lens and when lens is at 24mm that would be the distance.
Very cool, would love to try this out. Which lenses are compatible?
+Shutter Discovery You should :) At the moment only 2. FE 28-70mm & FE 24-70mm( only on 24mm)
+Shutter Discovery at the moment only 28-70mm and 24-70mm(only at 24mm).
+Shutter Discovery 28-70mm and 24-70mm (only at 24mm)
Hello,
Thank you for the video. From your experience what kind of strobe and cable should I use? For Sony!
You have to be more specific, are you talking about this model or Sony in general (because units vary) ?
Ohh! Sorry, For a Sony A7. I recently purchased an underwater case but I need to know what kind of strobe should I use and how to connect them. Thank you for your reply.
Hi what is the guitar song at the end?
I have this case for my Sony A7Rii but I can't figure out how to keep the display on once I have closed the case???
You go to your camera setting and switch VIEWFINDER/ LCD MONITOR to LCD MONITOR only.
Which stative do you use?
Shouldn't this housing be able to fit any lens that has dimensions smaller than the 24-70?
Technically yes, but if the lens is smaller in length , you might have vignetting.
Im planning on buying one. But i have the Gmaster lens from sony (24-70 f.2.8). Is it going to fit? Or is it to big? Cheers
That lens is too large and unfortunately won't fit.
I have the sony a7R mark 2 and sony/zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA prime; will this lens be suitable for this model??
Hey there, Unfortunately that lens will not fit, since it is larger in diameter and also length. You can see here the physical side by side compassion : www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=sony_zeiss_fe_24_70_4p0_za_oss&products=sony_fe_35_1p4_za
Will this work for a 55mm Carl zeiss
do you know if this fits the Sony Full Frame Vario T* 24-70mm F4.0 Zeiss Zoom Lens??
The ones that work.
Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
Sony FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* ( Only at 24mm )
Sony FE 50mm F1.8
Sony FE 50mm F2.8 Macro
Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T*
Will this work with the Sony 10-18mm lens? Thanks!
No, this will not work with that lens.
After 2 years are you happy with that Housing ??
Any problem?
Still use it as before. Pretty happy without any issues.
@@underwaterhousingreview5268 any newer housing recommendations ?
i HAVE A ROKINON 8MM 3.5 AND A ROKINON 24mm. do they fix? with the 8mm in the cropp mode, do i have vignetting?
Last time we checked all Rokinon lenses use manual focus and there is no control inside the housing for that, so I'm afraid it will not work either way.
Underwater Housing Review perfect! But my question was about if the rokinon fix in the meikon house? Do they? The 24 and the 8mm?
I'm not sure you understood :) How are you going to control the focus, if there is no controls on underwater housing to do that?
As for the second part of your question.
None of the wide angle or fisheye lenses will work with a flat port, even if they could theoretically fit(which they can't) , they wouldn't be working as intended.
The focus is not a problem, i can close the aperture and everything will be in focus, and also the 8mm put EVERYTHING on focus... even with an open aperture... ; why do you think they cant work ?
Because the lens is "Wide angle" . Flat port and wide angle lens is a no no , huge vignetting :)
Im assuming this will not fit the sony 24-70 g master lens?
You are assuming correct, it will not fit.
does yours also force on the screen when closed? creating some coloring?
I'm scared it will Crack my screen.
That will only happened if you are using S or R model. Easily fixed by trimming the rubber seating posts.
Underwater Housing Review
mine is the A7 II not S or R. and I've removed the rubber and even still it does. it only does work if I remove the lens. with no lens it then fits almost perfect. with zeiss 24-70mm with no filters does not work well. with 55mm it works but the 24-70mm does not.
Would it fit an a7s Mk1 as you only mention Mk2
No, it will not fit A7s Mk1. This housing is only for Mk2. But you can have a look here and find something you like:

Any idea if this will fit the 16-35?

Great review
Cheers!
hi, what about 16-35?
It will not fit/work.
www.kitdive.com/collections/dry-wet-ports/products/dry-dome-port-type-1-extension-ring
Do you guys think this will work on the a7r iii?
No, it won't.
does this work for a7s?
The first generation or the second generation?
First
Nope, for that you need this one.
meikon.com.hk/collections/underwater-waterproof-camera-housing-case-for-sony-camera/a7-a7r-a7s
I have the following lenses
55mm f1.8, 90mm f2.8, 35mm f2.8,
Will any of these fit?
is it compatible with the batis 25mm?
Nope
The quality of the housing seems good but unfortunately 28-70mm is useless underwater...
+Regis H because of f4?
No. Because underwater there are two types of pictures: macro or wide angle. The 28-70 is a transtandard zoom. In e mount, You can use the 16-35 for wide angle or the 90mm macro. But You have to use a specific dome port
+Regis H Thank you! I have 16-35.. but the housing is expensive for 16-35..
+Yangpaholic Y better to pay for something expensive and properly secured then to buy something cheap and loose all your equipment.
