Just want to add one thought. We shoot a whole system / configuration. A great lens can be sheit under water. Nikon 14-24 anyone? So while a lens won’t get sharper or better under water, it might not be as degraded as others. -
Another vote for Stixx.
-
Ahh. Okey. That lens sounds like real sheit then, if it does not even function at a basic level with the FF body. Not that into details about Canon optics, but interesting. I thought those days were over.
-
Not sure it does not make a difference. As a comparison, my z24-50 with a wwl show slight vignette in corners shot dry @24. Nothing when under water. Now I don’t know much about the Canon set-up, but if the lens is 24-50 it should work similar.
-
The z24-50 combined with the wwl-1C on a Nikon mirrorless FF (think they call them 1B and 1C now, for 28 and 24 mm lenses respectively) works very well and delivers very sharp and contrasty images that are much better than I have seen previously with any other rectilinear zooms in (huge) domes. Just asking, the ”test image”, how did you shoot it? Looks like dry, no?
-
Any recommended bait to get close (like 8-15+1.4 close) to dema:s?
-
Hat for my hairless skull and a tee!

I’ll give it a shot going in with low expectations. Doing a liveaboard from Male so might as well. Looks like viz is usually pretty low and hundreds of rays that silt like crazy.
-
Were there any restrictions on using flash / lights on the tiger dives in Fav?
-
What lens does that work with that Kraken optics Dave? How do you find general IQ compared to the Nauticam WWL?
-
MWL, agree that there’s an issue with minimum f14 which is a turn off. The concept very interesting as I personally find myself either @24 or @50 with WWL-1C—never in between. Would be VERY interested in feedback from someone who has used the MWL. The 8-15… yes. If one can find one for sale. People tend to hold on to them. For a reason.
-
No it doesn’t. Fav is a seaplane ride away to the south. There’s a ”new” site in Male that mimics Fav, just near the harbor. So I intend to explore it after the Sharktastic trip. But I figured it will be the same ”rules of conduct” as in Fav (haven’t been to Fav, hence asking the ones who have)
-
And what about Fav and tigers? Strobes? I’m going mid March on a week S Male-Veevu-Meemu-Ari so called ”sharktastic” on Emperor Voyager, then a day in Male with local DC (not decides which yet) to do ”the tank”. Manta in Ari cleaning station Dec 2018.

I was planning to go on a WS in April to Socorro but was put off by this scam tax, replacing it with Maldives ”Sharktastic” in March instrad.

I recently went wet lens too (Nikon z6iii), came from DX (Tokina and 10.5). There are situations I’d want to go full fisheye but I have tried to avoid them, waiting for a z-fisheye to emerge. In vain perhaps 🙂 But the WWL-1B & C are really a super neat, capable and flexible wideangle solution. I have been looking at the Nauticam MWL too, which I think might be better for Canon than for z Nikon, as there’s no z60. Other wise that gives 150 degrees FoV or 60 macro in one package—wet. Nikon FF with z24-50 and WWL 1C (1B as mentioned produce the same FoV with 28- lenses) @24 (130 degrees) @50 (70ish FoV and cropped 20%)
