Very nice, will install it and try it for a bit. I also enjoyed RapidRaw, fast development cycle and quick bit of software, although lack of advanced library management, which is key for many of us

Thank you for such a detailed response! Then it's a gen 2 that I have I think a gen 1 wouldn't work on mirrorless. Based on what you say, the protruding element makes the lens longer, and my guess would be that it would not fit the adaptor (Nauticam). I would even question whether the adaptor works for a Gen 1 Lens. (admins, feel free to move my lens to the correct thread)

Curious and a bit offtopic, but how do you tell the various generations apart from the lenses? I have one but no idea if its a gen 1 or , thanks!

Welcome!! where do you dive in Taiwan? i've only ever visited the cities but never tried diving there!

I will happily boycott Mexico diving.. plenty of other places to spend $$ and with good diving!

This is in French but subtitles in English work. Some beautiful shots and i discovered that there are kelp forests in the Mediterranean?!!

Which company are you going with out of curiosity? , i'm tempted to try this too and there are many providers.. Thanks!

Heard good things about Djibouti. Downside: Hormuz..

100% agree with Dave and John here. Your housing will not break down because you don't soak it overnight for a 6 days diving trip (let alone a 14 days diving one if you're doing it). Just rinse it, take a shower with it if you want to make sure, and then dry it properly by bringing it in your cabin. I've seen more floods of cameras/gopros that were left in rinse tanks than from being underwater! :)

Which itinerary will you be doing? If it's a southern one, or "sharktastic", i'd skip the macro one. If it's best of Maldives, there's macro choice, fish portraits typically, but also anemone fishes, and hawk fishes to shoot :)

i don't think it's related at all, it's just that these are poorer countries and when they see someone with gears that cost $$$, they smell blood. I doubt you'll see Saudi taxing any photographers for their gear when they will go diving in the red sea!

Anyone carrying their housing directly with them fully setup? I wonder if it could be a good approach?

thanks all! I was able to install it but it took me about 3-4 hour as i didn't have the right tool at hand. The hardest part was actually inserting the spring below this locking block. I just tried again and again with a tweezer until it was in the right position. Inserting the C-ring (eclip/circlip) wasn't easy either.. Would not recommend doing it (or ask someone with tiny hands to do it) Ultimately, I did insert the spring, but have no idea which of the two springs they provided to use, as the Nauticam adaptor i have (37303, bought in 2018) wasn't listed in the manual. however, it now works and holds the vaccum. Chris : the adaptor I have (37303), without the upgrade, would not let me lock on the newer WACP 1B which I had bought. It would slide in, but would not lock. Now that i have updated it, it works and seems to hold the vaccum. that locking block is a few mm lower in the grooves of the port.

THANK YOU, this is exactly what I needed - super helpful! Can I ask you which part do you own (37305? 37303/37304) ? I'll keep everyone posted on this, i hope i don't have any more questions :)

Hi, I am currently upgrading my old Nauticam sony adapter (100 to 120) using https://www.nauticam.com/products/upgrade-lock-mechanism-for-port-adaptorscompatible-36064-37304-37305 Instructions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZsoDwPUN7HLy37r4JZpkj9ujNsKk_PPV/view I'm struggling to understand how and where to insert the spring on part 3. I just can't seem to fit it (esp the "on top"? the chart seems that it is behind it) Can a charitable soul send me a picture of their locking mechanism so that i can see where the spring fits? Thank you so much! Alex

Fantastic info, thank you everyone for sharing! And beautiful pictures!

By the looks of it, the first pic is definitely with flash while the others are not

Afaik sharktastic doesn’t go to Fav. I did that itinerary a few years ago and it was strobes full power all along. Reflectors can be useful if you have them

I am changing my mind, and thinking about a trip there (although probably liveaboard based) - does anyone remember how strict the local domestic airline (maldivian) was with carry on luggage? There are on the website strict carryon restrictions (5kg) ..

I’ve used my mouth a few times, takes several breaths but works as well. It’s just a bit awkward on the dive deck with everyone looking at you. 😆

Amazing! This should be posted as an article/update on the front page of the website, not visible enough :)

Wow it must be an error, definitely not the same price in euro/gbp/chf . sells new for about 500

As title mention, I'm looking for this piece https://www.nauticam.com/collections/pf-37202 Would want a seller from EU/UK preferably. Thank you

I would highly encourage going second hand (this forum, eBay etc). You can great deals there and this can make the next step more manageable.

Thank you, disappointing on the lens then !
