Two years ago I purchased the Ikelite DLM Underwater Housing for the Canon R7 and couldn't be happier with my decision. The lenses I'm using with the Canon R7 and Ikelite DLM underwater housing is the Canon EF 100mm macro lens, Canon EF 8-15mm fisheye, Tokina 10-17mm fisheye, Canon EF 60mm macro, Sigma 10-18mm, and Sigma 4.5mm lenses with their respective dome or flat ports.
The following images are shot from a recent trip to Madeira, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Egypt.

Earlier this year I returned from my first trip to Madeira, Portugal and before that trip I asked myself if I could get circular fisheye images with my APS-C Canon R7. For full frame underwater shooters it's quite easy to use the Canon EF 8-15mm lens for circular fisheye shots on the 8mm end but with APS-C it's a little different. I found a used Sigma 4.5mm lens with the EF to RF adapter mount and with the Ikelite DLM 6 inch Dome Port with Zoom Extended .375 Inch # 5516.16 it's a perfect combo.
