Product Information
The injection molded acrylic 8-inch diameter dome is specifically designed for underwater photography to provide superior optical performance. Compared to a smaller 4- or 6-inch diameter dome, the larger diameter reduces edge distortion on pictures taken with certain super-wide angle lenses and makes shooting over-under shots (half-in, half-out of the water) easier. Domes are ideal underwater for shooting wide angle lenses. If you're shooting a macro lens, we recommend using the Modular Glass Flat Front instead.
This kit includes our shortest Modular Lens Extension for lenses up to 2.75 inches (7.0 cm) in length (product number 5510.11), perfect for use with compact, super-wide angle lenses. The extension threads onto the base of the Modular 8-inch Dome for simple assembly. Bayonet-style attachment to the housing body. Works with all newer 4-lock housings as well as all older 2-lock housings.
Lens Extensions are available in a variety of lengths to accommodate most popular wide angle and zoom lenses. Additional extensions can be purchased separately and used with this Modular 8-inch Dome.

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.
