The lens should be OK behind a flat port at 28mm, and will actually perform better behind a flat port at 105 than behind a dome port. If they have a port that will give you full extension on the lens at 105 but not vignette it at 28, that's how I'd go. 28-80 should definitely be OK behind a flat port.

My advice: call my buddy Howard Forman at B&H Photo (800-606-6969, i think ext. 2061) and ask him. He knows Ikelite's offerings inside and out, and can tell you exact model numbers on the port(s) you want. Tell him Dave Read sent you. :)

BTW, if you use a dome port, you'll have to put a +4 diopter on the lens to allow it to focus on the dome port's virtual image. No biggie, just one more thing to keep in mind...

Good luck,
