Greetings,
I'm using an Ikelite housing for 5DII, and have a port body given by my friend. It is Ikelite standard zoom port body, #5011.16, for lenses up to 3.5". I'm using canon EF17-40L lens. According to its spec., I should be using the extended zoom port body, #5011.24. However, I'm able to fix the lens inside the standard port body with a dome assembly. I test it on land, I don't find any much different in image quality, expect image is wider with the dome assembly attach than without it. Anyone has any experience with this combination? I don't want to purchase another port body if this combination is good enough. Thanks. Enjoy...

you will not see a difference on land, but you will see one underwater.
You can read more about dome port optics.
