Hi all, on the backscatter page there is an offer for Isotta/Nauticam A7R5 houses and they are telling that these housings are also fitting the new A7V without more further description. Has anybody here experience with that? And there is also an extra house announced from Nauticam for the A7V. What is the difference here, if anyone can tell?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards

Susanne

Hi @Susa - yes, it looks to be correct. That simply means Sony used the same body design for the new a7V as they did for the a7rV. That’s not completely unexpected as the a7rV is a relatively new body design. The a1 and a7sIII also share the same housing, with the addition of a slightly different mounting tray for the a7sIII.

For us, this is a big win! We can use the same housing for two different excellent cameras!

Now if the upcoming a7rVI keeps the same body, well, that will be monumental! But, as in diving, let’s not hold our breath. 🤔😂

Yes, that sounds fantastic!

I'm only wondering why Nauticam nor Isotta are giving this information on their homepage, and why there is an extra Nauticam House for A7V...

Definitely a good question. Seems we don’t know yet. From the released images, they appear to have the same controls. I’m sure we’ll find out in the coming days.
