I had the same problem this is way i asked about the sony 20-70

About the sony 16-35pz lens this what i thought. This way i asked about the sony 20-70 f4. The combo of the canon fisheye with 2x sony tc That’s a very interesting setup! I’m currently using the Canon 8–15mm with a Sigma MC-11 adapter on my Sony A1 II. Could you explain exactly how you’re using the Sony 2× teleconverter with the Canon fisheye? Which adapters are involved, and does autofocus still work reliably? I’m particularly interested because I recently photographed sharks in Palau and found the fisheye too wide when they were a few meters away. Is it work the same as the WACP? This will be great less weight when travelling.

do you have experience with the sony 20-70 ?

The WWl-1/wACP-c/wacp is not rectilinear also is it will help me to shoot sharks 2-4 metres from my?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from experienced Sony underwater photographers. I recently returned from a diving trip to Palau, where I was shooting with a Sony A1 II in a Marelux housing, using a fisheye lens. While the fisheye worked beautifully for close encounters and large schools of fish, I found it quite limiting when photographing sharks, especially at places like Blue Corner, where they often stayed a few meters away. The sharks appeared too small in the frame, and I felt I was missing shots that a rectilinear wide-angle lens could have captured much better. I currently own the Sony 12–24mm F4 G, which has served me well for underwater photography. However, with Sony’s new dedicated FE 8–14mm F3.5 Fisheye G arriving soon, I’ve decided to add it to my setup. I feel that keeping the 12–24mm may no longer make much sense, since the new fisheye will cover most of my close-focus wide-angle needs. I’m now considering replacing the 12–24mm with a more versatile rectilinear zoom, mainly for sharks, rays, and other large marine animals that don’t always come close enough. I’m considering lenses such as the Sony 16–35mm F4 PZ, but I’m open to other suggestions. My setup includes a Sony A1 II, Marelux housing, and both 140mm and 230mm dome ports. My question is: Which Sony rectilinear wide-angle lens would you recommend for this type of underwater photography, based on actual diving experience? I’m particularly interested in real-world image quality, corner sharpness, autofocus performance, and the ability to photograph sharks at moderate distances. My next major diving trip will be to the Galápagos, so I’d really like to get this setup right.

I’m expecting to get mine around mid-November, along with the Marelux extension ring and zoom gear. I’ll be testing it with both the 140mm and 230mm domes to see which works best underwater. I just couldn’t resist getting this lens! I’m currently shooting with the Canon 8-15mm fisheye using the Sigma MC-11 adapter. While the image quality is excellent, the communication between the lens and camera isn’t ideal, especially when switching to video. I’m really hoping the new Sony will offer better autofocus, video performance, and hopefully even better image quality than the Canon. Happy to share my experience once I’ve had a chance to dive with it!

Hi everyone! I’m Alon from Israel, an advanced diver and passionate underwater photographer. I currently shoot with a Sony A1 II in a Marelux housing, using dual Marelux Apollo strobes. I’ve been fortunate to dive and photograph marine life in places like Palau, the Philippines, Red sea, Mediterranean sea, Azure, Socorro and hope to go to Galápagos. I’m always looking to improve my underwater photography, learn from other photographers, and exchange experiences about lenses, equipment and techniques. Looking forward to being part of this community! Alon
