Hello from southern France

January 25, 20242 yr

Hi! my name is Friso and I have been diving since the early 80s. I didn't really dive a lot for the last 20 years but started again and also went back to underwater photography. I started out back then with a Nikonos V without strobe due to budget constraints, but it was still fun. I now have a Nikon Z8 with Nauticam housing. So far I have 3 trips planned for this year.

Welcome aboard Friso..

Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review
Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review

RichN · October 22Oct 22

James Emery at Backscatter has published a review and a field video of three Nauticam wet lenses that mount on the same macro port: the MFO-1, the SMC-3, and the MFO-3II. All three are 67mm lenses, so on a flip holder you can move among them on one dive without changing the camera lens. They do different jobs. The MFO-1 is the everyday optic: a little magnification, and a shorter focus range so autofocus stops hunting the water column. The SMC-3 is the super-macro lens, about 2.3:1, for the sma
