Preview of the MFO-2 - Now called MFO-3

I have just started using a Nauticam MFO-3 mounted with a flip adapter with a Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro Lens and found that it worked surprisingly well.

 

The best testament to just how well it performed was during two blackwater dives of West Palm Beach, FL. Blackwater photography, as some of you know can be in creditably challenging. For me, the greatest test came when we found a small paper nautilus on the second night. Although the little sucker never stop moving except to rest on one diver’s fingertip, I came away with more than a five dozen tack sharp images with just a handful of throwaways where the focus didn’t nail.

 

More I shoot with this lens, the more I like.

    No idea. The normal rule in underwater photography is think of the maximum amount you can possibly justify or afford and then double it!

    A point worth raising is that it is difficult to do really precise test shots with and without the MFO-2.  I just wanted to highlight this issue – as surely many with and without shots will be shared

    I asked Nauticam to look into designing such a lens specifically because of the limitations of only having a one "decent" focal length macro lens on Sony FF (90mm) and Canon FF (100mm) camera systems.
