Key Features
Restore Your Wide-Angle View
Water naturally magnifies subjects and narrows your camera's field of view when shooting through a flat port. The DL 8" Dome Port corrects this optical effect, allowing your wide-angle lens to capture the expansive scenes it was designed for.
Outstanding Corner Sharpness
The large 8-inch dome creates a more favorable virtual image for your lens to focus on, producing improved edge-to-edge sharpness compared to smaller dome ports. This makes it an excellent option for high-resolution mirrorless and DSLR cameras.
Perfect for Split Shots
Thanks to its generous 8-inch diameter, the dome rises above the water's surface more easily than smaller ports, making over-under images significantly easier to capture with a cleaner waterline.
Built for the DL System
The port mounts directly to Ikelite DL housings and can be combined with compatible DL extension rings to support a wide variety of lenses. It is not compatible with Ikelite DLM or legacy FL port systems.
Durable Construction
The dome is manufactured from optical-grade acrylic, providing excellent image quality while remaining lighter and easier to travel with than glass domes. The body is constructed from rugged acetyl plastic for long-lasting performance in demanding underwater environments. Integrated shades help reduce flare and protect the dome surface.
