AOI Acrylic Dome Port for Sony FE 8–14 mm F3.5 Fisheye G-lens

AOI Dome Port AOI DLP-112 for the Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G Lens

Designed to match the uncompromising capability and creative freedom of Sony’s latest ultra-wide marvel, this new port bridges the gap between terrestrial optical perfection and sub-surface mastery.
 

Dual Fisheye Versatility: From Circular to Diagonal in One Masterpiece
The Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G redefines underwater narrative possibilities by seamlessly transitioning from a dramatic circular fisheye to an expansive diagonal fisheye within a single superb lens. Whether shooting a mesmerizing, artistic 360-degree circular vignette of a diver framed by vast pelagic waters or punching out to a full-frame diagonal fisheye for striking reefscapes and animal encounters, this lens delivers unmatched creative flexibility.
 

To fully support this dynamic range underwater, AOI’s innovative port design features a lens hood that can be conveniently removed and reattached underwater. This engineering breakthrough eliminates mechanical vignetting and physical obstruction when zooming out to the widest circular focal lengths, while allowing quick attachment of the hood when transitioning back to diagonal shooting to safeguard the dome and control stray ambient light.
 

Unlocking the True Potential of Ultrawide Fisheye Imaging

When light transitions from water through a flat port into air, refraction magnifies images by approximately 1.33×, constricting the field of view by 25% and introducing severe chromatic aberration. To counteract this, AOI’s engineering team has meticulously designed a hemispherical acrylic dome port that bends incoming light rays toward a common center of curvature.

By ensuring the camera lens's entrance pupil (nodal point) aligns with microscopic precision to the dome's center of curvature, the system eliminates edge softness, corner blur, and field curvature aberrations. Paired with the Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G, underwater image-makers can fully harness the lens's sweeping field of view and dynamic perspective without optical compromise.
 

Material Integrity and Advanced Optical Engineering
Built to endure the unforgiving pressures of tranquil shallows and technical depths alike, the new AOI dome port is constructed with strict adherence to structural integrity. Under high hydrostatic pressure, even microscopic deflection of a port collar can ruin optical focus. AOI’s marine-grade anodized aluminum collar delivers unwavering structural rigidity down to depth limits.
 

Embodying Passion Possible
At the heart of every innovation lies AOI’s core brand philosophy: Passion Possible. For underwater creators, technical challenges beneath the surface should never limit creative vision.
By turning the complex physics of underwater refraction into a seamless optical advantage and engineering modular solutions like the removable lens hood, AOI empowers image-makers to push boundaries, capture breathtaking perspectives, and bring their deepest creative visions to life. The new dome port for the Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G is a testament to this commitment—transforming the impossible into imagery that inspires.
