Canon Vs Sony Lens For Underwater Photography
Yes.

Auto review images A7rV
Try to adjust the monitor brightness manually to "high" ... and no one uses the "auto review" - this blocks the screen. I usually use the histogram view (press two times up on the "wheel") that shows better whether you have under-or overexposed.

Shooting with one strobe?
Hi @Crasoner, All true. Now that I practiced more I saw an additional point - the extension was too short. I‘ve updated to second flash, longer arms and the first tests look promising. Thanks a lot!

Fibre Optic Cables? Make your own....
Hi Tim, I thought about making the middle man - but in the next 6 months I will be travelling very often. Sending to EU would be about 20,-€ but in fact tax will be added. So for example 20m will be around 300.- all in all with the help of @bvanant null That shouldn't be a problem. But then distributing is an additional effort that currently I cannot do.

Flash Duration - more important than color temperature and guide numbers?
Have read all the posts more than once but now I’m sure I get most of the facts. Extremely interesting from technical and practical perspective! To follow up: what is better? Short flash duration or a long one? If my Retra Pro Max has 1/600 flash duration (at full power) I should be able to use 1/1000 without HSS? But no, because in fact the two courtains of the shutter need 1/200 (sync speed) to finish their way? So: how long is the HSS-flash duration? If the tube of the flashlight is slower, let’s say 1/200, is this similar to HSS? Still not getting it all…

Blue Water Macro Dive - East Bali
Incredible beautiful. Much of what can be seen at Nat GEO is worse. Did you switch from auto-ISO to manual? There's one scene where the exposure settings seem to change?

Did you ask i-fiberoptics about alternative shipping other than UPS? I think they stated that you could ask them individually....?

Wwl-b1 with 24-60... What focal length?
Maybe this helps: https://www.usa.canon.com/pro/electronic-range-calculators/angle-of-view?srsltid=AfmBOopuFgvwHXgH0bqclAwuZc_ufA1ykX-Sy2UdmSg6C-fWz8_ckvMu in combination with the Nauticam Port Charts: https://www.nauticam.com/pages/wwl-1-port-chart The converter FOV is 130-70 degrees but the information whether this is vertical, horizontal or diagonal is not given. Let‘s say it is diagonal. The according focal length at 130 deg could be around 10-11mm if used on land. For 70 deg it is around 30mm

Thanks. It took only two Teams-Meetings that should have been an email until first try finished null

Mexico Underwater Camera "Tax" spread to Cancun
Hi Bghazzal, fully agree. The fact that until now no gopro wasn't in scope doesn't mean that it will stay that way. "doesn't matter" seems a bit too optimistic. But one more speculation: there could be another reason why Mexico is not so unhappy about becoming less attractive to divers and underwater photographers. There is a rumour, for example, that no-wake zones for animals have been established not because of the animals, but to keep the cartels undisturbed. Honi soit qui mal y pense....

Paracord was fast in delivering the products and I am ready to go. I measured 36cm from one shekel to the other. How long should be the paracord? 10m? Too short is stupid, too long increases the effort.

Mexico Underwater Camera "Tax" spread to Cancun
AFAIK GoPro has never been in scope. So that doesn't matter. Having the camera in the housing might reduce the risk only a little bit - most of the customs officers know what they are searching for. So best is hoping for the green light if you hit the button.

Comparison of WACP-C with Sony 28-60mm vs. Sony 24-50mm G existing?
When I thought about testing the lens I noticed that the FOV would not increase despite the shorter lower end of the zoom range. Additionally I would need to buy another 35mm Nauticam extension. I think it's not worth the effort as the 28-60 performs extremely well. null

Comparison of WACP-C with Sony 28-60mm vs. Sony 24-50mm G existing?
This question is really interesting. The verdict of this lens says „weak corners“ but who cares about that? https://www.digitalkamera.de/Zubehör-Test/Sony_FE_24-50_mm_F2_8_G_im_Test/14107.aspx The large entrance pupil could be the downside if combined with WACP-C. But the constant length of the lens could be the positive aspect. I‘ll start researching and will come back to this.

[4K] - Night Diving Off Vancouver Island
Great! Short enough to keep the attention high and beautiful images. It's the Lingcod that I liked most: Looking first like a still image then moving the eyes... Nice!

Housing Lanyards
Thanks @kallebumba that helps. My attachment bolts are at least 28cm apart, so 35-36cm of total length should fit. Just placed my order at paracord, took 30m, should be enough.... 😁

Housing Lanyards
Hi Makaron, hi Tim, You convinced me. Looking at my housing the distance between the two holes in the plates is already 28cm. I'd prefer shackles and strong colors, so I'll do one by myself. How much paracord do I need? 5-10 times the length?

Housing Lanyards
How about the length of the lanyards? I saw lengths between 17 an 34cm and different connectors. How do I know which one fits best if I order one?

Retra Strobes Pros & Cons
Please add to the abbreviations. Besides everything @TimG mentioned about the pro max, I REALLY like the focus light. At night snorkeling it is better than any torch. Didnt‘t try macro yet but will do in 3-4 weeks.

Ah, that’s the one next to our hotel, the Kiha Beach. AFAIK Aveyla goes with the liquid salt divers. Did you take the picture at the house reef or on one of the tours?
