  4. The whole premise of the 18-45 with the R50 in Nauticam and AOI with the fixed port is to use it with wet lenses, wide is quite OK, the WWL-1 gives a nice range and focuses up to the port. You can get to 0.8x with a 44mm working distance with the CMC-1, all the data is on the port chart here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15eHIQlhHCVuz8zPu2pzFTHPhgqHwsn0v/view the CMC-1 only focuses between 44 and 81mm so is a bit cludgy compared to a TG-7 in this regard, but certainly it's workable. 44mm working distance is getting a bit small and hard to light though. The CMC-2 would be easier at the cost of only getting 0.6x. These figues would apply equally to the AOI housing, assuming you can mount the right bayonets. Swapping between the WWL and CMC is a bit of an issue, some people are happy to do it, others state they don't want to deal with what to do with the big lump that is the WWL-1B , you need to put it somewhere when you take it off. It can get very close and do semi macro shots though.
  5. Have to wait for the specs to see what the field is as it depends on the projection they have chosen for the design. To get a 180° field the focal length can be anywhere between 11 and 21.5mm. Or put another way 14mm could give anything between 150 and 200° depending on the projection. Most likely though it will hover somewhere around 180°. The 7 Artisans 10mm fisheye gave a full frame 185° field as it was quite a different projection, closer to a rectilinear.

  12. Yesterday

  13. It does depend on the body you chose. For FF and zoom (and not Fisheye). The Canon 15-30 works very well behind a dome (180 and 230). I also use the 14-35 and think it is a great lens, but I do not find that it outperforms the 15-30 underwater. The 14-35 is happier in the edges at 16 and greater mm settings. The 15-30 is more cost effective with no downsides behind a dome. Above water I much prefer the 14-35. So my setup is either the 15-30 or the 8-15mm fisheye taped to 15mm. Some great options for wet optics, but I don't use them (yet). If going crop (R7) - then there are some other great options but I don't have experience with them.
  14. Okay, I'll just ask my dealer if he can let me know as soon as it's available - thank you!
  15. My guess is world wide shipping in 6 to 8 weeks, so I have been told but things are subject to change and I am frequently the last to know.
  16. Hi Phil, thanks a lot – that looks very promising! When do you think the Triple Flip will be available in Europe?
  17. Hi Wahrmut, Did not forget you just had to get the equipment together to show what I think you are asking. First I don't have the SMC2 but the Marelux MV-60 is 5grams less than SMC-2 so close then I also added SMC-1 to show you how they sit on a macro port. The triple flip is about six weeks out from shipping so you will need to judge from the double flip that has the same design. Our first single flip used the same hinge everyone uses which will not support the weight of the SMC-1 beyond a 90 degree angle to the port glass. As a result Marelux designed a better hinge which does support the weight on land. I have attached several photos of the old single flip (old hinge) and the new with both lenses in several possessions,
  18. Welcome aboard! Yet another member with a mighty A7SIII! Ciao
  19. Hi, I'm a video shooter based in Brisbane, mainly diving (both tec/rec) around south east QLD and northern NSW. Have been using a Sony A7Siii for the last few years. Cheers
  20. What I see appears to be the first auto focus fisheye zoom lens actually designed for a mirrorless sensor. The Canon RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L is I am sure a great lens but it is 109.4mm long which is reminiscent of a DSLR lens with a lens adapter attached. My guess is the New Sony lens will come in closer to 83/86mm with minimum focus distance around 14/15cm. I doubt that a Sony 1.4 or 2X TC will work with this lens, more likely an after market TC like those for the DSLR lenses will be needed, hoping to be wrong on this issue. The lens hood and port shade will need to be removed to work at the 8mm end. On the 14mm end the lens would go to a full 180 degrees rather than the 175 degrees with 15mm. I also think it will come in under $1900.00 to be competitive with the Canon.
  21. Now the question is: does it accept a teleconverter?
  22. sonyalpharumors | Sony Digital Camera NewsFirst leaked images of the new 8-14mm f/3.5 FE lensAnd here we have the first leaked image of the new 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G zoom lens! Let me know in the comment system if you spot something interesting on the image...I certainly have ;) Preorders op

  24. Could you please test this? If it can hold the weight, I would be very interested in the Triple Flip Adapter.
