I work with the AS30 and AS100 ... Both Same on the dimensions and each fit in the old and new housing.
Thank God I had both Unterwasserghäuse for the holidays there. (The new unfortunately only with the round lens) was quite annoying because I always had to get out to get the old housing for underwater shooting. It has nevertheless already too used to the time the luxury to be able to also press the other buttons having to open without the cover. In particular, the back and forth of slow motion and normal shooting or between video and photo.
The aforementioned reflections in the image I've also found. In particular, over water quite disturbing. Depending on the light however, they are also not to be seen.
Total is one of the rectangular underwater lens feel that the sleek design of the Sony compared to other competitors is somehow gone. looks kind of like wanted and failed or poorly tuned patched ... Too bad Sony that would have supposed to examine earlier ...
Underwater shooting the rectangular lens is essential otherwise you see all blurry. With rectangular lens everything is razor sharp as above the water. Waterproof she is. Hardy only in that a change of attitude in the old housing have to open the cover in the event. Very cumbersome snorkeling and it is inevitable that somehow a small water droplets always comes into the interior of the housing. The starts with Wiederverschiessen to sweat and fog up the glass from the inside. Schwups all images are milky. Did I unfortunately realized much too late, and so a lot of visual material was then ... The only remedy is again the case open and 10 minutes in the hotel with the hairdryer everything bone dry before blow it back to the beach ... Everything is not really thought.
People when her if at all possible, you please buy equal the new housing and the right square lens for the new housing. This configuration is really just something for an emergency or if you do not want to play around on the setting during the day.
