I had similar things (canon 50D and aquatica staff) and i donate them to a young diver that wanna go uw photo. He jumps up to the sky for that even if it was an old system, of which the images are still around and used even in large prints.

One decade now with two lenses, Canon EF 8-15 and EF 100mm macro. But sometimes you need something that will be able to catch the breath of a new site and then to redive for wide angle and macro. I see that > https://www.ikelite.com/blogs/reviews/canon-rf-s-18-150mm-f-3-5-6-3-is-stm-lens-micro-review-results . I ask from Onderwaterhuis.NL, my supplier in uw photo staff, to see if we can find solution for Nauticam x Canon R7. Other ideas for such lenses that can be used around (and sacrifice the wide angle side for the beginning)?

Is so that good???? I own X4 (and use in the past X3) in the Cretan blue waters. I was looking also to the forthcoming DJI - not sure is those issues Insta fix, will be also adressed by DJI. It might worth to wait a little bit (?).

Quite interesting for Sony users! Tokina paved the way decades ago, the Canon follow and the rest is history!

Back from a land-based mission. Cards from Angelbird (v60 rocks!) 2 Lacie rugged for backups and Angelbird cables (i haven;t seen such a speed to transfer images from HDD to HDD). And 1 Samsung T7 SSD for first data unload Use Canon R7 (both JPEG and RAW) for underwater + DJI drone for photogrammetry data collection. End up to 280 GB of material in 3 days.

Thats what i understand - only if i wanna have a backup system (80D in Aquatica) in case of failure during projects (happen in the past and 50D save the game).

A question come now as i own the 8-15 and use on R7 (before on 40D, 50D, 70D, 80D). What i will gain in the long term? Better IQ? one more mm ?

Lovely lens!! I have the former and now am questioned to move to that. 7mm focal length indeed might become tricky but let see who will react faster for that (i can guess Nauticam)! But Olympus had a similar lens (Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7-14mm 1:2.8 PRO) - yet not fisheye and solutions where around from Nauticam.

tomorrow the news! https://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/canon-big-reveal-rf-14mm-f-1-4l-vcm-radical-7-14mm-fisheye-zoom-and-new-powershot-g7-x-iii-coming-feb-4/

Thats great! When the full version will be released?

Seems to be a brilliant approach for 3rd party housing and yes, i wanna see a more space-based housing to have extra battery as the WFH-GP1.

If make a "wrap up" not much is what i can gain in a full combo. I might gain a combo of 130 degrees FOV and a short lens that will allow me to make short of portrait-style for some fish and seascapes as "close-ups" and not versatile macro. Have to rethink the investment ....

Hi mates, For 13 years i use the combo 8-15 with 100m dome (Aquatica) and now 140mm on Nauticam (complete switch to Nauticam with Canon R7 as Aquatica support in Europe is !$#@$). However, i wanna more flex during science missions - mean to have wide and macro at the same time. Thus am thinking to move to WWL II and CMC on the handy 18-45 Canon lens. Has anybody experience on such switch?

Yes and i have a new, not yet in the water, X4 - January 2025. And the housing is not compatible with X5 ... Normal, you will say. The question is "HOW much better is X5 from X4 for use in VR content creation for use in education (ocean literacy, dry dives for persons that cannot dive, etc.).

@Davide DB adding external screen etc in such a system, it will turn into an "expensive" if you see the price of the camera per se. Remote control of them via a surface buoy and connection with laptop, for your river case, or for shallow water applications, could be solution. for me, and will happen if i will grand the funding for BRUVS in seagrass habitats, for which i don't need such externalities, the battery extension is game changer. T-Housing offer a similar solution as well, but here we have a housing for 4 camera models.
