Thank you Wolfgang & John - your insights are very helpful! I am feeling a lot less overwhelmed now :) Ready to start building this kit out! Happy diving and wishing you all many wonderful adventures above and below the sea.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have a friend shooting with the A7RV and she recommended the Metabones adapter as well. Definitely something i am considering. Cheers!

Stunning visuals! I have been to Atmosphere Resort in Negros Oriental and the diving was fantastic - now putting Anilao on my bucket list :) Thank you for sharing Valerie.

Hi all, long time canon shooter moving into Sony mirrorless territory. I am primarily a wide angle shooter and have been shooting many years with the Canon 5D MkIV + Sigma 15mm fisheye in an Aquatica housing paired with the Aquatica 8" glass dome port & 2 Ikelite DS165 strobes (before that i shot with the Tokina 10-17mm & Canon 7D and dual Sea & Sea 250s also in Aquatica housing.) I have just recently purchased the Sony A7RV body and looking to build a kit around this new camera. Open to all brands and would be very grateful to hear from those who have made the switch to Sony mirrorless & enjoy shooting wide. My first dive trip of the year will be to Tiger Beach & Bimini in April. What is the ideal wide angle lens for this trip? Ideally something that will work well with dynamic reefs scenes as well since I will also using this setup for a trip to PNG and Indonesia this year. Open to all options that are travel friendly and not crazy expensive. I have been reading a lot about the Nauticam optics and been down the rabbit hole of WWL and WACPs to the point where my brain is a bit scrambled. Have not decided on the housing yet, and would like to hear from those that are currently shooting Sony and what lens/optics you really enjoy shooting with. Willing to spend on the right combination- but needs to be easy to travel with! Pic of a beautiful Misool reef scene for attention :) Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Cheers, Sabine
