Yeah, the Ikelite dome leaves some things to be desired. If they increased the dome radius from 6" to 8", life would get a lot easier. In any event, I love my NikV/15mm setup for WA work. I don't see myself going back to the housed system for WA in the future unless through-the-lens composition is necessary for particular shots. I'd consider switching to a better system, but it doesn't make sense to buy a new housing for my N90s at this point. When I'm ready to buy a top-$$ housing, I'll buy a new camera body at the same time. Preferably a digital camera, but I'm not planning to hold my breath on that front.

As for the shutter lag, well, "yeah." Not a major consideration for (again, I shoot mostly WA work), but it would drive me insane anyway.

So why, exactly, does this shutter lag exist in the first place? It would seem to me that the delay would occur *after* the image was captured, not before.

Shutter lag, that's the half of it, or is it third of it? (5)
