Sure wish you'd listed that M50ii two weeks ago 😅 Oh well I'm sure someone will get great use out of it.

try this: https://www.paulillsley.com/GoPro_Underwater_Wi-Fi_Cable_Setup/ I'd probably encapsulate the ends in epoxy but for a test they can probably just be left bare. Definitely test your particular camera's app above water to see if the function is useable though.

Is this the regular double flip or the one specifically designed for the MWL?

You need to make an antenna, which is very possible to DIY. I've considered it but the app for my camera is rather laggy.

I'd be happy to trade an N85 Macro Port 65. Conversely an N85 Extension 17 could work for what I'm trying to do. Thanks, Grant

I'd love to be able to adapt Seafrogs ports to Nauticam. Maybe I need to do some designing.

A M4/3 with some intelligent lens choices seems like the way to go. I've had very good luck on the used market shopping for cameras in the 6-10 year old range which still produce excellent results.

I will say this SeaFrogs will sell any part at a reasonable price. I can't get tiny parts from Nauticam at ANY price.

You have to shoot the WWL-1 at 28mm FF equivalent. So yes, HOWEVER, at 14-15mm the lens both performs better and doesn't vignette. CORRECTION: it's 12-50 not 13-50 and I like it although apparently quality varies among samples. It's also quite long which I don't mind.

The housing is aluminum, but I'd really hesitate if their internal components aren't similarly upgraded. I own a SeaFrogs salted for A6xxx as my first housing, overall the housing and port does the job but it's how you interact with the camera that isn't well engineered.

I run the original WWL-1 in front of the rather special (in my mind) Olympus 13-50. I like the bit more reach on the top end along with it being internal zoom and weather sealed. Plus it fits in the 60mm macro port.

I have one in the regular macro 65 port so can't change to macro mode but I find it extremely versatile. At least as a general use lens combined with a mild diopter for larger macro subjects. Internal zoom makes it work very well with wet optics.

Have you tried it with strobes in manual? Tested above water?

Seems like you'd be uniquely served by the Olympus 12-50ez, it's a weird lens but extremely versatile.

Those are great shots Dave. I really struggle to get light into octo dens and you nailed it.
