Okay, I'll just ask my dealer if he can let me know as soon as it's available - thank you!

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.

Hi Phil, thanks a lot – that looks very promising! When do you think the Triple Flip will be available in Europe?

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,

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

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.

Yes

Now the question is: does it accept a teleconverter?

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

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

I didnt get a great experience using trt but i think it was a bit of miscommunication the product is well built and did well. I use uwt and im quite happy with it

I don't know that I'd actually enter as I'm a more for self-amusement photo taker, but who knows, maybe. But I'm definitely in the zero generative AI slop camp, for multiple reasons. And I think that most of us understand the difference between removing some specks in the water, a bit of crop and the type of AI slop we are talking about being against.

@PomInOz which housing are you using? I'm assuing these are all with the kit 18-45 lens? Thanks for sharing the lovely images and especially for showing such a great range. Super helpful to see more images!

Well, there is that American vs English thing—there are bins and there are bins!

Hello, you still have the focus gear?

Aloha and welcome @PomInOz !

I think Back Scatter did make a useful and honest attempt to provide good data. I also agree with Retra that improvements could be made especially in the graphs and some of the measurement methodology. I really enjoy the side by side comparison where I can pick a strobe and add diffusers. There is no serviceability or reliability chart! Inon and YS for example. Basically throw away strobes. True, I have Inon strobes that are 20 years old and still going and several which developed various problems with switches and disappeared into the nether world when sent off for repair. I will gladly pay more, even a lot more for a strobe that has a strong warranty and can be repaired, serviced and even updated. This is fun! Nearly the same brightness in the center but clearly one strobe is producing a lot more power. The problem with GNs! And then the Maxi vs HF-1, just what I see there, the Maxi has a fuller, smoother light output and is if we must say it, slightly more powerful regardless of the charts, I am looking at it with my eyeballs!
