Anilao 2024

[ChrisH]

A few pictures from my trip to Anilao (Philippines) in September 2024. Unfortunately the weather was very bad and we had high water temperatures, too. So there were not that many critters around as I was used to. Also Blackwater diving was not possible because of the weather.

 

Equipment used:

Nikon Z8, Nikon Z 105mm Macro, Nikon 8-15mm Fisheye with 1.4TC (first picture); Trioplan Copy (last picture)

Seacam Housing, Seacam D150 Strobes, Retra Snoot

Super stuff Christian! That Trioplan is manual focus? Also, did that fit easily into your existing ports?

Yes, the lens is manual focus only. A hell to use with DSLRs, but with focus peaking on the Z8 it is much easier to use. Having a external viewfinder is also very helpful!
But everything must be set before the dive: you dial in the aperture and focus distance and then you search for subjects that fit the settings.  
Yes, the lens did fit the port (plus extension) I already had. The lens needs an adapter, as it has a M42 mount.
