I am looking for a significant increase compared to the SMC1 – already on par with the SMC2 but easier to handle. With the AOI diopters, I often read that their design allows more light to reach the lens, making them easier to work with. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any information about the working distance yet.

Hello everyone, I’m currently looking for a new diopter. So far, I’ve been shooting with a Canon R5 and the RF 100 in a Nauticam housing, currently using the SMC-1 and SMC-2. The SMC-1 has already been sold and will be replaced with an SMC-3. I’d also like to replace the SMC-2, as it’s simply too specialized and hardly usable due to its very short minimum focusing distance. Would you recommend replacing the SMC-2 with a CMC-1 or something from the AOI series? Maybe the 90 or 900 Pro?

great test! Thank you! I'm very excited about the tests with the 10-20 behind a 140 dome. Do you perhaps also have the opportunity to test a 15-35 3.8? This is my current go to lens.

great pictures Chris!

I did it again 😅

Wow cool! Which divesite was this? greetings from the German site of lake C 🙂

Im looking for a Nauticam Extension Rings.... 20mm or 50mm old or the new one 🙂

It’s me again 😅. has anyone experience in booth triggers? I once read in another report that the uw technics is not as well made and seems a bit cheaper and more sensitive. What speaks in its favor is that you don't have to switch it on. I've already realized that I don't have to do that with the Nauticam trigger from time to time.

I got the message from Nauticam - the trigger supports HSS. Great.

Hey, im looking for a new trigger with the possibility of HSS. I found nothing on the Nauticam website if the TTL converter has HSS or not with a Retra pro Max. so which of these two triggers I should use? Housing: Nauticam Kamera: Canon R5 flash: Retra Pro Max / old YD2 and a MF2

Selling here a used but fully functional Nauticam TTL A247363 flash trigger including charger and two spare batteries. Nauticam TTL Trigger for Canon Negotiable price: 350€

ok, thats a realy good point! Mhhh have to think about it 🙂

Is there anything against combining the two flashes Pro max and Prime? They should be identical in terms of handling and not so different in terms of weight underwater. I have ordered the pro max for testing. The display is nice but not absolutely necessary, so I'm thinking about saving a few bucks.😁👌🏼

It would be great if you could share it with us. I'm also looking for this zoom ring and another one for the Canon 8-15 with Kenko Tk. I have a printer but not the drawing skills 🙂

Do you have any idea why the WWL-1B is not in play here? If you are interested, I can provide a RAW of the R5 with the 24-50 and the WWL-C 🙂 One with WWL-C and one with only the 24-50 at a night dive 🙂 1/200 F6.3 ISO 640 1/200 F9 ISO 400

I already have a Retra Pro max in front of me 🙂 So far only one that I have not been able to test due to a persistent cough 🙂

The points you mentioned also make me worry. Unfortunately, I can only find tests with Sony cameras and so far none with a Canon R5, for example. What also worries me about the WWL-C is that you could lose focus a bit. I'm currently jumping into the water and know that I only have the setup for wide-angle and ignore everything to do with macro. If you can change the lens now, you're quickly tempted to take a macro here and a wide-angle there... you might quickly lose sight of the essentials 🙂

That's a good point - I overlooked it or misunderstood it. So the WACP does not work with the RF lenses or is there any experience here? The 28-70 is out due to the really slow AF. Why do people always talk about the WWL-C in the Canon R series and not the WWL-1B?

Hello everyone, I have already been able to test the R5 combination with the RF 24-50 and a WWL-C. The image quality is very good! Now there is also the option to use the RF 24-50 with the WACP-C. Has anyone tested both and can say whether it makes an optical difference? The other option for the WACP-C would be the RF15-30mm, but unfortunately I haven't found anything on this. You are welcome to share your experiences here too 🙂

Hello everyone, during the last safari, the flash tube of my YS-D2 burst. It has now lasted a really long time and has had to put up with a lot - so it's ok. But now I need a replacement. I'm currently considering the YS-D3 or the Retra MaxPro. With all the accessories, the Retra easily costs around 1000€ more. What makes it so much better than a D3 - or rather, is it really that much better? I always have to remember that I need two.... in case it's important, I currently shoot with a Canon R5.

Hello, I'm Michael and I'm from Germany. Glad to be part of this new forum 🙂 I am a wedding photographer above water. Underwater I am currently using a Canon R5 in a Nauticam housing.
