The Outex front glass ports match your lens filter thread diameter size. The front lens filter thread size is not your focal length or zoom range.

The Outex underwater housing system that makes camera gear waterproof also allows it to float—even with your heavy camera and lens inside. This works by utilizing the trapped air inside the Outex camera housing as a float, which allows you to control buoyancy by how much air you allow inside the cover. Simply squeeze out the air before you seal it to reduce flotation.
