Hi Fabian, I had a similar problem, but that was 10 years ago. After much consideration, we decided on acrylic because it best met the expectations of the doctor's office. Frames have the disadvantage that they have to be chosen very individually. Acrylic is also the easiest to hang. However, you have to be aware that when the exhibition is over, you will have to store some of these acrylic panels at home. When it comes to prints, I have had the best experience in Germany with “Meinfoto”.

AFAIK Nauticam is working on a dedicated housing for A7V. As the A7RV and the A7V are very similar but not identical in operating the Isotta-solution might be a compromise and not all functions are available.

You are referring to Tiger Beach: I'm a happy user of the WACP-C with 28-60 on Sony A7 IV.

Wow - saw the videos and I'm still flashed. Congrats to you having such a wife.

I absolutely really like the whole video. Short enough not to step out early and long enough to get an good idea how it was there. The cleaner the went into the gills and the shark that had to check out very closely whether the lens is something to eat or not. Great! Can you tell something about the dive center and the location? Looks like quite cold water but impressive clear.

…. Guess how many pictures I delete 🫡

If your partner doesn't take photos themselves, the challenge for you is to take pictures with your partner in which they like themselves. Then the dive will remain harmonious. With macro photography, they could help with lighting or something similar.

It depends on the guides, I suppose. We`ve been there with different diving operators and all of them had no problem with strobes. But there's always much backscatter and the guests are sitting tight, and anyway you're only at a depth of 9m. Either use available light or try to position the strobe as far away and low as possible.

And the new 28-70 has the same minimal focus distance as the old one. Let’s see…

More importantly: will the A7 V fit into the A7 IV housing? I don’t think so, but at least there is some hope. As I use my camera not only below the surface, the precapture-option seems very interesting to me. And 4k60 without crop is a long desired feature.

Found! Thanks a lot

Pleeeeaaase show the Ivanoff-solution?

I do own a 14" MacBook Air with 512GB and 8GB Ram. Even using LR CC is a mess, if you like to use AI denoise and Backscatter removal tool. Ai denoise takes often more than a minute, and switching over to photoshop and coming back ist a PITA. Go for the recommended machine. I think it's the adequate configuration.

I was able to get my hands on the aluminum Seafrogs housings over a year ago at the Boot trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany. They look like Nauticam clones, but they also come with a hefty price tag. Milling housing shells from a block of aluminum using CNC is certainly not a very complex process, especially when you have a proven model that you can copy 1:1. It will be interesting to see the long-term results. The question is really how well the seals, buttons, and surface will hold up in a few years. What I also couldn't tell is whether they were able to replicate such an excellently functioning and battery-saving vacuum system. In the end, it's like the cell phone market: with Apple, you pay extra for the entire ecosystem to be perfectly coordinated and thought out down to the last detail. The other providers have caught up considerably and sometimes work very well.

You stated that the Retra won’t work with the AOI flash trigger- but that refers only to TTL? So in manual mode it should work? And: what port do you use? Flat with WWL1B? Thanks for sharing!
