Thank you Jon for sharing this, it is very helpful. I also have a Nikon D850 but with Isotta housing. Also have the port for the 60mm lens +30 mm extension ring that I use for the 105 lens. Got the TTArtisan 100mm couple of weeks ago and been trying it on land and dry runs in the housing. The photo of the hermit crab is superb! I have few questions/comments please: - What lighting did you use behind the hermit crab to get the beautiful bubble in the background? - I did buy a set of Kenko extensions tubes, and again only tried them on land. They seem to be fun to play with but the depth of field becomes very narrow with every tube added. With the 36mm tube, I measured about 14" minimum focus distance to face of the lens, so a bit longer than yours at 10.5". I could get to 10" only after I piled up all 3 tubes for a total extension of 36+20+12=68 mm. That is probably a bit too much to add and obviously need for extension rings for the port (not sure is worth the investment) - Did you set your f-stop prior to putting camera into the housing? If so, did you tape the dial? - For the focus ring, I don't have a focus gear but I was thinking if this can be pre-set as well? For example, set the focus ring all the way to the right, the focus at the shortest distance. That way, there is no adjustments on the camera, other than getting the distance to the subject to be right. Thanks!

This is amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to explain! I will follow into your steps!

Question please: how do you figure out how to 3D print a focus ring? I have a friend with a printer who will be willing to print things for me, but I don't know what to ask him. I do know what a focus ring is, but is it by trial and error to find the match for the lens and housing? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this! Gathering the pieces to use it with Nikon D850...

Reduced to $275 each!

Thanks so much! It is indeed the autofocus that I am primarily want to switch for. In terms of weight of the setup, I assume they are nearly identical?

Hi everyone, It's been in the back of my mind for about 6 months now whether I should save towards making the switch from my DSLR (Nikon D850) to mirrorless. The more natural transition would be to Nikon Z8 of which I read good reviews about. The investment is obviously large, to the point that I could go other brands as well. Not a Canon person, but Sony has it nice. What I am looking for is thoughts from folks that are shooting Nikon Z8, the pluses and minuses (particularly the minuses). I am well aware of the reviews from Alex Mustard, but wanted to hear more opinions. Thank you!

My favorite housing is Isotta (red housings). Pretty, sturdy, very reliable and not as expensive as the Nauticam collection. They recently released the housing for Z8. It sells for $3,690 in US.

Two VERY bright (9000 lumens each) and versatile video lights from BigBlue, model VP9000P, in very good working conditions. Selling each at $350. The current version of these lights sells for $750 each. They have 1" ball mount. Accessories include 2xGoodman Glove with mount, 2xSilicone Lube, 2xTwo Spare o-rings, 2xLanyard. It has a maximum of 9000 lumens and a 120-degree extra-wide beam that’s perfect for videos and photos as there are no hard edges. They have three intensity levels, lighted battery level indicator and a built-in red led setting for sneaking up on your favorite undersea creatures. Anodized aluminum housing means rugged dependability 100m depth rating.
