Product Information

The Ikelite 5506 is an SLR flat port designed for use with standard, macro, and telephoto or zoom lenses. Because flat ports bend light as it passes from water into air, this port narrows the lens's angle of coverage and magnifies the image, making it well suited to shooting small subjects at close range.

Who it is for

This port is for underwater photographers pairing a standard, macro, or zoom lens with a flat port for close-focus subjects. Because the flat design magnifies the image, it is a practical choice for divers who spend most of their bottom time photographing small or stationary subjects rather than wide underwater scenes.

Key details

  • Port type: Flat port, recommended for standard, macro, and telephoto lenses.
  • Optical effect: Refraction through the flat port narrows the angle of coverage and magnifies the image.
  • Best use case: Shooting small subjects with standard, macro, or zoom lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lenses work best with the Ikelite 5506 SLR Flat Port?

The Ikelite 5506 is recommended for standard, macro, and telephoto or zoom lenses. Because the flat port narrows the lens's angle of coverage and magnifies the image through refraction, it performs best on lenses used for close-up and macro subjects rather than extremely wide shots.

Why does a flat port magnify the underwater image?

Light refracts as it passes from water into the air inside the port, which narrows the lens's angle of coverage and magnifies whatever is in frame. This optical effect is why flat ports like the Ikelite 5506 are recommended for standard, macro, and zoom lenses shooting small subjects.
