When someone came by to take pics of my tank, they brought something that attached to the front of their camera much like the avast porthole.
These also look cool in that they protect the camera but let you use it still.

I use an 8” top down viewer with a lens hood usually since it’s faster than putting on a lens tube.

If you want something that goes on you lens, you can check these out. I’ve used both and they’re pretty good.

If you got a tap plastic's near by you can always buy a piece of acrylic tubing a smidge bigger than the diameter of your lens and glue a piece of flat acrylic on the end. I did that with good success some years back, and as overpriced as Tap Plastics is, if you buy like 2 inches of tube it ain't that pricey.

Don’t even need acrylic for the tube. Just get some pvc/abs from Home Depot and glue a piece of scrap acrylic from the dollar bin at TAP. Probably can make one for less than $5.
I've got a ton of abs on my truck. That's a great idea.

if you wanna get fancy, get a tapping bit and some nylon screws so you can attach it to the lens. Maybe back the end of the screws with something rubber/silicon so it doesn’t scratch your lens.

Wow, I’m surprised. I’ve had a pretty good experience with them with multiple things that I have ordered from them - including two portholes. I’ve had great customer service experience with them in the past, hopefully they’ll take care of you.
I just sent an email with pics. I'm assuming I'll hear back soon. The acrylic still had the protective paper on the outside so it would of been impossible to see this on the inside.
Those are bubbles.
