Hi there, Looking to buy a MFO-3 - if you have one to sell in EU please message me. Cheers, Michael

Thanks, I saw that one. Unfortunately with shipping and import taxes it‘s too expensive for a used one and I could buy a new one from my dealer.

Hey there, i'm looking to buy one of those adapters. If you have one for sale (new or used) - i'm interested (preferred inside EU to avoid import taxes). Anther item i'm interested in is the double bayonet mount lens holder. Cheers, Michael

I still have a 40 mm Extension (NX?) for the Sea&Sea housings. With Sea&Sea Cap. Shows some wear, minor scratches but is working perfekt. I moved to Nauticam quite a while ago and this was left in a drawer… Asking 175 € plus shipping included for Germany, EU+10 EUR, rest of the world I have to check). Also some Zoom-gears - which I’m happy to give away for free - just cover the shipping costs. 1 Zoom gear Nikkor 18-35 1x CX600 EF 28-80 USM III 1x CX600 EF 28-80 USM IV

Hallo Wahrmut! Welcome to Waterpixels 😊 Nice to have you on board! (War auch schon bei UWpix)

Oh dear… Thanks Oscar! It was - of course - a classic id10t mistake… the camera has so many different menu-points from the D850 that I forgot the easy settings: just needed to alter Menu e1 to 1/250s - it’s working again 🙈 (And the uw technics on Number 7 for the Retras). Sometimes it just needs a hint and a pint and then one has the solution 👍

Dear guys, Maybe someone shooting the Z8 can help out - I have a problem… Today I went the first time with the Z8 and a macro setup underwater. I shoot in a Nauticam housing with the uw technics title-adaptor. My strobes are older Retra pro which I also used with my old setup (D850 in Nauticam, also with the uw technics ttl converter). I was snooting and set the lighting: Strobes on 25 %, f16, 1/200th and ISO 640. lighting was ok to start with. Then I went to f18/f20 and above and wanted to go to 50 % strobe power - but the images were just black. I went down with the strobe power to 25% and the aperture f16 and the images were ok again. Tested with my second strobe: same result. Is there something I set wrong in camera? Did somebody experience the same? All ideas welcome. Thanks, Michael

And additional question for the MFO-Users: do you screw it in the Port thread or does it make sense to get a bayonett mount for it? Even with the older Port? Or wouldn't the distance to the lens fit no more?

Hello Guys, I'm looking for advice: i want to use the Z8 with the Z105 - can one still use the F-Mount Port 18702 (F-Mount Macro Port 87) or does one need the 18708 (Macro Port 80) as Nauticam suggests in its Portchart? I still have a 18702 of my old system and can see that there is a liitle space (should be 7 mm) from the front of the lens. I can use it - but would it be a problem if i want to use the MFO1 near future? Has anybody tried that? Or do i have to bite the bullet and get the other Port (Macro Port 80)? Cheers Michael

Hi Guys, as i got new gear now (was forced to move from my stolen D850-Kit to Z8) i was wondering if anybody shoots the Z8 with an external Monitor and if so - which one would you recommand? I got my new Kit (also Nauticam) as not all of my Ports were stolen, so i stayed with my trusted brand. I got the new version of the 45° Viewfinder but i'm thinking of getting a Monitor instead as my eyesight does not get better with age... (maybe i can still give it back to the shop as it is unused and the shop might get me a good quote) The big questions are: - What will the external monitor display when connected to the camera? The Z8 has two options for its displays (menu d9): show effects of settings or adjust for ease of viewing: will this also affect the external monitor or is it more of a standalone thingi which isn't affected with these settings? - Another one: how does the external monitor behave if i shoot directly in the the sun from a relativ shallow part - will the monitor be too bright or is it still possible to guess what the outcome of the picture will be (i hope you understand what i mean?). - Can one switch from the external monitor to the back monitor of the camera during a dive? Maybe an important extra information: i just do stills, no video. A friend suggested a WED-7 (but he shoots a D810) and is quite happy with it (7" is a large thingi to carry...). But this one has only 500 Nits. The newer ones are 1000 Nits or even up to 3000 Nits. So - many questions and decisions to make... Maybe the video-guys know more about that stuff than the just-photo-guys but happy to hear what you guys think! Cheers, Michael

Hi Guys, still looking to complete my gear again: i'm looking to buy one (or if you have two) M67 to Bayonet Converter Type II. Also a Bayonet holder for strobe arms (doesn't matter which one, i might adapt it to my strobe anyway). To avoid taxes: europe preferred. TIA Michael

i do the same with the bungee - it is also really useful if you have to walk a couple of meters to the sea (or go up a dijk in the netherlands or climb a ladder to the boat or else). On one of my images you can see one shorter lanyard on the right handle: this one is being clipped in a D-Ring on the bcd and with another short lanyard holding the strobesarms together in combination with the bungees it is no problem to walk a few hundred meters with the kit 🙂

Hi Hugues, sorry for my late reply... i bought them online in a german shop: Thal Versand (https://www.thal-versand.de/Karabinerhaken-und-Wirbel/Karabinerhaken-aus-Edelstahl/Einzeln) Cheers, Michael

Hi there, i‘m looking to buy a WWL-C. If you have one for sale please message me. (Please Europe only)

Hello friends, to complete my gear again i'm looking to buy a Nikkor 8-15. If anyone wants to sell (please only Europe, with import taxes it's not of interest). Cheers, Michael
