Many thanks for the comprehensive answer one again @Phil Rudin Sounds like using these lenses is... complictaed - certainly requires some thought.

Way too much for a Sunday...

@Phil Rudin have you done any testing of the Tamron 20mm & 24mm F2.8 1:2 macro lenses? They may be interesting possibilities for some close focus wide angle images.

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to create something similar to the Inon system by removing the handles off a Nauticam housing and then mating the housing to an aluminium L bracket and using an Arca Swiss system to connect it to a generic tray/handle system.

After reading you post I just found it on the Inon website - must admit that I have never seen it advertised anywhere before. It does look interesting.

I might need to watch the video again😄 Are you serious? It doesn't look gold plated?

Is 45 degrees really that useful? 90 degrees would certainly be useful, but not sure that all the faff vs benefit is warranted just for 45 degrees?

Cheers!

What is the house reef diving and dive operator like there? I just took a look at their website and it seems like it might suit me.

Cheers! Any recommendations for where to shop for Nauticam in Shenzhen?

I'm not sure what he charges - will ask!

Ah OK - cheers!

I think that Nauticam's head office is in Shenzhen, but I once got the feeling that the factory was somewhere else in China (which is not uncommon).

OK Cheers!

It would be interesting to find out what the prices are like in Shenzhen as well - I might try to find out from a mate in China.
