Seafrogs housing with canon 8-15 or Tokina 10-17 ?
My wife is using the Tokina 10-17mm with Nauticam housing for Olympus EM1II plus Metabones 0,71x speedbooster with Zen DP100 (N120 version). In addition, she uses N85/N120 34,7mm Nauticm adapter plus 20mm N120 extension... => this is indeed a perfect and compact rig for UW WA... Regarding pedal hood: The hood is in the way, when the Tokina is used on FF cameras (not recommended, better use e.g. Canon 8-15mm with 1x glassless adapter then (if required)). FF people used to remove this hood then( not recommended, better use e.g. Canon 8-15mm with 1x glassless adapter then (if adapter is required)). A bigger image circle (compared to APSC) is required for FF sensor, the pedal hood already shows up...

Preview of the MFO-2 - Now called MFO-3
This is a comparison between the Nauticam and the Marelux being used by Tom Kline and others. AOV range, weight both in and out of water, and focus range are some of the differences as well as lens design.

gear to take to Red Sea
I dive out of Eilat a lot (northern Red Sea), so different routes than a Hurghada liveaboard, but the same water type. Agree this is mostly wide-angle country for that itinerary. Wrecks and reef walls are the main show. If you're thinning the bag after Indonesia, leave the macro kit home. I shoot a phone in a housing and a GoPro with no strobes, which forces the keep-it-simple habit. What I'd actually want on a Red Sea boat: a camera you can grab every dive without fuss, a spare battery or two, and hands free for buoyancy. Agree with the two-wetsuits tip already in the thread for November. Beyond that I'd rather leave options I won't open at home.

Seafrogs housing with canon 8-15 or Tokina 10-17 ?
I've been happily playing with my new gear (Sony A6400, Tokina 10-17mm in a Saltedline housing with a 6 inches dome port) in the few dives I could do during the summer, here in Marseille. I invested in good strobes (Sea&Sea YS-D3 Duo) which I'm happy with, but less so with the housing. No flooding concerns, but the buttons are squishy and work only half the time (when they work at all...). Thus, I'm looking into getting a Nauticam housing plus a 100 zen dome port. Looking into the used market, but getting lost with port diameter sizes, extensions and the rest ! Do you use your Tokina with a FF body or APS-C ?

Sony 28-60 with Nauticam CMC-2 vs Sony 100mm with MFO-3 ?
Has anyone done a comparision between these 2 setups ? I see good reviews for the 100mm with MFO-3, but not much on the 28-60 with CMC-2. For larger macro and medium size subjects, how do these setups compare ?

Hi from Israel — AOW, mostly Eilat, phone + GoPro
Thanks for the welcome. I'll dig into that ambient-light action-cam article. Phone in a housing and a GoPro with no strobes, so that's exactly the mess I'm usually looking at.

I saw on the Nauticam homepage, that they are selling now MFO-3II: https://www.nauticam.com/products/mid-range-focus-optimizer-3-mfo-3 Does anybody know what the difference to the original MFO-3 is?

Ideas for lens when go scooting diving first
One decade now with two lenses, Canon EF 8-15 and EF 100mm macro. But sometimes you need something that will be able to catch the breath of a new site and then to redive for wide angle and macro. I see that > https://www.ikelite.com/blogs/reviews/canon-rf-s-18-150mm-f-3-5-6-3-is-stm-lens-micro-review-results . I ask from Onderwaterhuis.NL, my supplier in uw photo staff, to see if we can find solution for Nauticam x Canon R7. Other ideas for such lenses that can be used around (and sacrifice the wide angle side for the beginning)?

The diving in Bali is great this time of year, perhaps you should pickup the equipment there😃😃😃

Insta360 X6 vs DJI Action6 vs Sony A1 LOW LIGHT comp
To be fair I forgot to put Action6 into low light mode. However in low light 'Supernight' mode it does not record with DlogM. Everything baked in. X6 does record in iLog in night mode. Names of videos say the source and processing. !Note! View HDR versions only on HDR capable screens. No color or exposure tweaks were performed on any clip. Only conversions and factory LUT applications. For the fun of it I threw in Sony A1 clip. Only Slog3 to HDR conversion.

Hi from Israel — AOW, mostly Eilat, phone + GoPro
Hi all. I'm Ben. Based in Israel. AOW, somewhere in the low hundreds of dives, a lot of them the same sites in Eilat because for a few years that was the weekend: drive south, dive, drive back. I shoot a phone in a housing and a GoPro. No strobes. So most of my underwater frames come back blue, and I'm here to learn from people who actually know what they're doing with light and colour underwater. Happy to be useful where I can. Mostly listening for now.

gear to take to Red Sea
Definitely wide-angle for the day dives. I’ve pretty much given up on daytime macro in the R/S. Macro makes good sense though for the night dives and, yep, not something too demanding in terms of “finding “ the subject in the viewfinder. So 60mm on FF. As CCRphoto says, it’ll be starting to get a bit nippy. Wrap up warm, Mike 😜

gear to take to Red Sea
yep - three night dives are planned so I will take a short macro lens and port anyway which shouldn't upset the other half too much... definitely planning a hoody and tracky bottoms for the evenings
