Yup, exactly why I am looking for a used one! It's crazy the pricing.

Have you seen what Nauticam is charging for these nowadays? ☹️

Stopping down that far would be a real non-starter with how little light I have available. I wonder if the Weefine version has the same issues. I assume the MFO-3 works fairly well wide open.

Howdy all, I am looking for a Nauticam N120 extension 20 for sale. If you've gotten one please drop me a line! Thanks! Scott

The port charts list the two 30mm macros and the 12-50 so it seems it would work with the 45mm. I'd estimate the field would be be a bit wider than the 12-50 - about 24mm FF equivalent in terms of horizontal field. The MWL seems like a great idea but never really took off and there is probably a reason for that. For one thing it is said it needs to stop down to f16 to be at its best which is well into diffraction softness with m43. It seems not too dis-similar to my situation in Sydney, I mostly dive Macro and regularly see things that would benefit from the MFO3, but possibly might see a big subject - a grey nurse shark shows up occasionally as do other things like wobbegongs, large rays etc. I still dive with the macro setup and now the MFO3 as it covers 95% of what I shoot very well. There is FOMO of course but I'd rather have a system that does well on the most common subjects. I'll occasionally dive with something wider at this site.

Yeah, I've had that problem with the shorts, too 😁.

No I don't have a tether, just need to pay attention when mounting the lens. It's worked OK so far. I used cargo shorts in lembeh, but reverted to a dock on the float arm diving in Sydney. The weight of the lens causes the shorts to fall down over time when walking any distance - not an issue when you are just falling off a boat but a real problem shore diving.

@Maria Munn those are great images. Which strobes from Inon did you use?

@waterpixel Sorry for not replying until now, did not see any notification. The Sea & Sea wet lenses share the same Nikonos mount, so they work with the Nikonos adapter. I started with the Nikonos 15mm, but once I learned about the wider Sea & Sea 13mm I used it exclusively (such as for the shots I shared above). I actually bought several in great condition from the Japanese resell market since they are so rare (~$700). But I would happy to share them with any of you, as they are just sitting around.

The polycarbonate housings have very poorly made controls. Flexible plastic that don't functional well.

So this is what I have been told so far, Marelux will release M43 housings for GH6/7 and OM-1/11. If you go to the Marelux.co web site you will see that both housings are large enough for the Flash Fuel 2100 battery package a combo extra battery and manual flash trigger and the port for the remote trigger. If you compare these two housings to FF and APS-C housings you will see that the port opening is smaller than the 5 inch (125mm) ports for the other MX housing's. Currently the new port size for M43 has not been announced and no port charts have been announced. I am sure that 67mm flat ports will be made and that they will accept Aquista 130 and 110 wet lenses and as such should also accept Nauticam bayonet mount for WWL-1B. The Marelux NA to MX adapters are N120 for WACP-1/2 and N100 for WACP-C. For WWL-1B and Aquista 130/110 they are interchangeable between brands so Aquista to NA with MX bayonet mount and WWL-1B to MX with NA bayonet mount. I have no idea when the ports will be released but it seems logical it would be when the housings are released.

Do you mind elaborating. I’m not familiar with what’s been learned about their buttons and controls.

Looking to buy a used OM-1 (I or II) and an AOI UH-OM1 housing, both or either. If you have one available, please contact me at [email protected]. Thanks, Adrian Gresores

I prefer a bayonet system, too. I dive with the 60mm with an MFO-1 mounted and +5 diopter in my cargo shorts pocket. My question is whether you tether your close-up lenses in any way. I actually dropped my MFO-1 in the water off Grand Cayman after removing it and getting distracted before I could get it in the pocket; fortunately, my wife picked it up.

If the aluminum housing has the same buttons and controls as the polycarbonate they would be a pass. Their new monitor is appealing though.

Keep in mind GPOs are deep in a crack around 95% of the time, or are out and huge. You can't predict which one. I wonder how the 45mm would interact with something like the MWL-1? Wider than the MFO-3.

I've seen Marelux has announced several new housings, including—finally—one for the GH7. @Phil Rudin I noticed they offer a Nauticam-to-Marelux adapter, but the specific series isn't mentioned. I’m assuming it’s for N120. Does this mean there's no hope for those of us with N85 ports and the WWL-1? Also, I suspect that using an adapter would ruin the port alignment, losing that "perfect fit" we’re used to. Does this mean unless you're using ports with extension rings, you basically have to replace everything? On a side note: just shortly before the announcement, I asked Marelux marketing if they had any plans for Panasonic housings, and they told me they had nothing in the works. Definitely a 'great' way to win over a new customer (sarcasm intended). 😁 https://waterpixels.net/articles/product-announcement/marelux-housings-for-the-sony-a6700-canon-r50-panasonic-gh6gh7-and-panasonic-s1r-ii-r176/

Thanks Maria. I am actually looking at the new all aluminum housing now and have not found much online here about them, only the Polycarbonate version. I did watch a YouTube video review and unboxing and that version did not look too bad. The plan would be to use it for diving mostly. Depths to recreational and possibly beyond depending on the subject. If you happen to have any experience with one or can point me towards someone who does, it would be much appreciated. Cheers

Welcome!

Your LX10 has the French Roast drip feature? I always wanted that.

Welcome!

Hey @Scott Audette Welcome to the Waterpixels Family and I'm hoping Florida is a lot drier and warmer than here in Rainy UK today :) I used to live in Miami and am really looking forward to seeing your work. Have a great day! Maria www.oceanvisionsphotography.co.uk
