Product Information
The Ikelite 5511.1 FL 8 Inch Dome Kit pairs the injection-molded acrylic Modular 8" Dome (5510.45) with the FL Port Extension for Lenses Up To 2.75 Inches (5510.11), giving underwater photographers an 8-inch diameter dome port, with the dome component rated to 200 feet (60 meters), built for compact super-wide angle lenses.
Who it is for
This kit suits underwater photographers shooting super-wide angle lenses on Ikelite housings who want less edge distortion than a 4- or 6-inch dome produces and who shoot over-under (half-in, half-out) compositions. It is built for wide-angle work; Ikelite recommends the Modular Glass Flat Front instead for macro lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lenses can I use with the Ikelite 5511.1 dome kit?
This kit's included FL Port Extension (5510.11) accommodates lenses up to 2.75 inches (7.0 cm) long, making it suited to compact super-wide angle lenses. If your lens is longer, you can substitute one of Ikelite's other Modular Lens Extensions, sold separately, to match its length.
Will this dome work with Ikelite's Dry Lock (DL) port system?
No. The Modular 8" Dome and FL Port Extension in this kit are built for Ikelite's FL and DLM port systems and are not compatible with the newer Dry Lock (DL) port system. Confirm which port system your housing uses before ordering.
Is this dome kit suitable for macro photography?
No, this kit is designed for wide-angle lenses. Ikelite recommends using the Modular Glass Flat Front instead when shooting macro lenses, since a dome port is optimized to reduce edge distortion on wide-angle shots rather than for macro work.
What housings is the Ikelite 5511.1 compatible with?
The kit attaches via a bayonet-style mount and works with all newer Ikelite 4-lock FL housings as well as older 2-lock housings. It is compatible with the FL and DLM port systems, but not with the newer Dry Lock (DL) system.
