Aquatica Underwater Lens Chart for Canon 5D Mark III

In addition to lenses, ports are the most important component in an underwater housing system.

Aquatica ports have been used across the film and photography industry, in both the analog and digital age, for the past 25 years, and with good reason. Construction quality, image and color accuracy, and sharpness, coupled with their affordability, make Aquatica ports both reliable and of superior quality.

There are two basic port designs to consider – dome ports and flat ports. Dome ports are generally used with wide-angle and fisheye lenses, while the flat ports are used with macro lenses. Aquatica has four different dome ports available, ranging in diameter size from as small as 100mm/4” to as large as 235mm/9.25”. There are three flats ports to suit your specific macro needs.

The tables below list the most common combinations of these dome ports with lenses, port extensions and focus/zoom gear. For other lenses, please contact us.

Product Description

Installing an Aquatica port is easy. All Aquatica ports have a bayonet mount for quick lens changes in the field. For the last few years, Aquatica housings have been manufactured with a built in port lock. To install a port, simply press the housing port lock button and rotate the port 90 degrees, then release the button. Reverse the procedure to remove a port. It’s that simple. All Aquatica ports can be used in conjunction with extension rings, which are sometimes necessary in order to accommodate longer barrel lenses or, very importantly, to locate the optical center of the dome for optimal performance.

Refer to each housing/port specific lens chart to see if an extension ring is required for your specific lens. An extension to the port-locking collar is available to secure the port to the extension ring (the extension itself is locked in place by the housing locking mechanism).

Note on lens compatibility:
Canon provides 3 types of sensors size, all of which have a direct impact on the field of view coverage of a specific lens. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III has the largest sensor size, a full frame sensor. Please note that there is a separate Canon Type 1 Lens Chart for the earlier models Canon EOS 5D and Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

Canon’s lens lineup is also divided between EF type lenses that will work on all of their DSLR camera body and the smaller EF‐S type which are designed from the onset to work with the 1:6 ratio type sensor (cropped). Please make sure when selecting lenses that they are compatible with your camera model. If you have any questions regarding a camera/lens compatibility, please contact your Canon dealer or contact us at myynti@cerella.fi
