I'd recommend the Sony 90mm macro lens :) www.bluewaterphotostore.com/sony-90mm-macro-lens If you'd like to go supermacro, I'd recommend the Kraken +13 along with that: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/kraken-sports-macro-lens-krl-05s

thanks a lot!

I personally am hoping for one as I own the Z8!

There are definitely some limitations with the system - the main benefit is that you're able to cut out about 7 lbs of weight when traveling with this system vs a normal full frame camera. We used the autofocus tracking mode to have a versatile and flexible AF point, but it is a bit of a limitation. You can custom set autofocus point control but it is an additional button that needs to be pressed. Our favorite lens with the A7C R and A7C II has been the Canon 8-15mm fisheye with the metabones adapter. The corners are fairly sharp, but with any wide angle lens we do recommend shooting f/13 or higher for sharp corners. Ikelite may come out with a system compatible with the 28-60mm and wet lenses soon, and Nauticam currently does!

@ not sure 7lb is enough to justify the limitation. The overall weight is still significant. I found higher F stop did not help with my 14mm and large dome used with the Sony A1. It is unnoticeable I will agree when you have a diver or other subject suspended in the middle of the frame. When there are in focus details in the frame around the subject it noticeably unsharp. Just doesn’t go well with this height end camera gear. Ikelite needs a better dome ready yesterday 😌

thanks!

It works great! Sony has really upped their game when it comes to manual white balance after the A7 IV. I have some manual white balance clips from Fiji. I'd be happy to share them with you if you reach out to me at nirupam@bluewaterphotostore.com

We wouldn't recommend this lens with the 16-50mm kit lens on the A6700. Instead, we would recommend the Kraken KRL-01 or the Fantasea UWL-09F: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/kraken-krl-01-wet-lens www.bluewaterphotostore.com/fantasea-uwl-09f-lens

It depends on what cables you have. If you're able to get thicker orings, it should fit tighter. Duck tape might be a simple but crude solution. Otherwise, I recommend the Sea & Sea brand cables as they are designed to fit in that strobe: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/sea-sea-fiber-optic-cable-med

It should be ok to do so!

Thank you

You don't need to upgrade all your lenses! You just need the Canon EF-EOSR adapter. Feel free to reach out to use at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com and we'll get you set up with everything you need!

Hi! I think you'll actually find that the image quality is better with the wet wide angle lens and the kit lens. It should be wider and sharper than the 10-20 PZ. We just took the prototype diving with us in Fiji so if you'd like to see the full resolution images, please reach out to nirupam@bluewaterphotostore.com. There is still a few more weeks before the full system comes out - the prototype was being tested in Fiji.

It depends on the camera - I would actually recommend changing the camera settings. If its a Canon then I would turn off exposure simulation. If it's a Nikon or Sony I would turn off the setting called "live view display". If it's an olympus then I would turn on live view boost. I hope that helps!

We're hoping fairly soon! We're working with Ikelite on getting a couple of the kinks ironed out :)

of course!

The Z6 III does work better in low light. If you want the resolution and 8K video, then I would choose the Nikon Z8. But if you don't need the resolution and you want better underwater white balance in your video, I would choose the Nikon Z6 III!

I'll try not to shake the strobe next time!

@BluewaterPhotoStore 🙏🏼

We haven't been able to make the camera overheat yet in that housing, but we've been diving in cold water and have likely not been filming long enough at 4K/60p to make it happen. We'll have to do an overheating test!

Good question! We didn't run into that during any of our shooting. However, I would expect the overheating time to be similar on land. It can be reduced if you have a housing with a larger camera tray like marelux that can dissipate some of the heat. But for the most part run times will be comparable

definitely! Reach out to us at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com and we'll get you set up with the right filters :)

Of course! We'll do that on our next video :)

If you are doing sunball shots or quick action shots of animals like sea lions, it's certainly nicer to be able to shoot at 1/250. For most of my photography I could get away with 1/160 and ISO 100 with my lens stopped all the way down. But there are going to be situations where it's definitely nice to have the extra half a stop. Is it worth the difference in price and size? It's kind of up to you as a photographer!

Happy we could help!! Let us know how it goes :)

We'll keep that in mind for the next one thanks!

Great idea! We'll do that for the next one :) That difference will also depend on the depth and the amount of ambient light

@@BluewaterPhotoStore Very true. Several times Im getting close to the coral and cant tell if my video light is even on...

Unfortunately Sea & Sea doesn't make a housing for the A7C R, but Ikelite and Nauticam do: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/sony-a7cr-underwater-housing

@@BluewaterPhotoStore Thank you for your response, by comparing different housing options for Sony A7R5 which is more durable and value for money option , in your opinion.. thanks in advance :)

@@ajaxgfx feel free to reach out to us at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com and we're happy to give our opinions on the best housings!

I used both! some of the photos were taken with one and some were taken with two :)

Two will give you more ability to for creative photography and control over your lighting. One will be powerful enough to light a scene but there's less you can do with it. If budget is a concern, I would recommend getting two strobes with a lower guide number than one strobe with a high guide number. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to us at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com if you need a recommendation

We'll need a few more details like chest, waist, and hips - but we're happy to size you! Please reach out to scuba@bluewaterphotostore.com :)

We often find that the red light is more visible than the white light!

It's a fantastic strobe for that! You should have more than enough power :)

keine Ursache

thanks!

Sorry about the timing but we hope you're enjoying your nauticam!

@@BluewaterPhotoStore Me and all my floats are enjoying it! :D I wonder if you're allowed to carry the nauticam housing inside a plane though, normally heavy objects aren't permitted, and it really scares me to carry it with me.

@@hinenik Sometimes I tell the airlines that my camera system is valuable if they ever object and I've always been let on with it :)

@@BluewaterPhotoStore Let's hope it works with the European airlines 😆!

It's a better beam than both strobes!

@@linek1234 it doesnt matter, how you stand until guide 20 and 33 strobes? and suddenly made we have 44 guide and it price is 1200 fuck that, I still good with A.8 and guide 33, and even daytime under sun light, not even use over 20 for battery discharge. Have no idea how different your macro and my macro all macro pictures are have only snoot solution not stupid $1200 44 guide strobe.

we have not! It sounds like a lens we need to consider :)
