Hi everyone,

I'm based in Germany and again I want to jump back into Underwater Photography. In the past I used a Sony A6300 with some strobes and diopters to shoot some macro. Since the camera was limited when it comes to ergonymics I sold my case and camera. Just keept my storbes (Inon Z330). I still shoot some videos and photos on my GoPro but i still want to come back to shoot macro with a good camera.

So I will just look around and see if I can manage to save enough money to start again. Looking forward for some inspirations.

Hi JYK

A warm welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us. You’ll find we’re great at helping you spend money. Not so much at saving it!

Enjoy the forum.

Good news is those z330 are still a fine strobe and any camera from the last 5 years is going to be great.

Aloha and welcome @Jyk The z330s are still good, but having the option to do high speed sync might be something to look at with other strobes. The A6xxx series is fine and can make a lighter, smaller travel kit. Putting the 90mm or 100mm macro in the mix will work, but you will have a 135mm or 150mm equivalent and some might find this too long. You can try the 50mm Zeiss or Sony macro, which will be 75mm and lighter and easier to carry around but some find the lenses a bit slow to focus. This is better with the newer bodies, like the A6600 or A6700.

Another system to consider is OM System. Their bodies are small and ergonomics great. Their macro lenses, like the 60mm (120mm equivalent) is tiny. Great for traveling, sharp and you likely will not be disappointed unless you develop the desire to have a bigger sensor.
