Do the Nimar housings support Rokinon lenses?

Nimar hasn’t tested Rokinon lenses so they cannot confirm compatiblity.

However, if it’s similar in size to a popular Canon lens, it may work.

For example the Rokinon 14mm is very similar in size to the Canon 8-15mm, so it would probably work under this port:

Generally Rokinon lenses are all Manual Focus, so not really recommended for underwater as you don’t want to deal with focus issues with everything going on. You would have to use a very small aperture, and tests several focus points to find the best one, every time pulling the camera out of the housing and back in. Frankly, it’ll be a drag.

Something like the Tokina 10-17mm would be much better to use.

The Tokina 10-17mm is easily supported with the Nimar housings under this dome port:

Or this mini dome port: (better for getting Close Focus Wide Angle shots)
