MFO-1 and focus limiter

[JohnD]

I almost put this into one of the existing MFO threads but then I thought it might deserve its own space.   I am curious and interested in the MFO-1, but oddly, Nauticam has no instructions or manual for this thing on their website.  Pretty much the only information they provide is sales-type stuff.  I realize there are still few of these in the wild, but I am trying to understand its utility.  If using the MFO-1, do we set focus limiters to the "infinity" setting and not suffer the hunting and focus speed issues that setting can cause, or use the reduced focus range setting?  It seems like it would need to use the unlimited setting given the published focusing range, but ???

 

Perhaps I am just being dense, but maybe Edward Lai or someone else with knowledge could post some additional details about using the thing.

Hello John,

 

Please leave the focus limiter to "infinity".

I just got my MFO today. Not wet yet, but on the bench I only see about 20cm max focusing distance on a Nikon 105 lens. Is this expected?

Hi I try for the first time today my MFO-1 with a Canon RF100  max distance beetween 1 and 2 m... but the first impression ...


Waouh 🥰   Now I go watching the first shoot.

This is a wet lens.  Please try it in the field, or at least a bath tub or water tank that is big enough.

What I noticed is that it is much more easier to take such pictures... before it was complicate to put the focus then it allways go at the bacground. I love that
