FS: Full Frame Fisheye lens system for Nauticam owners using Nikon Mirrorless Cameras
Hi Igor, To answer question, the Canon EF 8-15 + Fringer II + Kenko 1.4 DGX should work in continuous autofocus and 3d tracking, same as the Sigma 15 with Canon EF mount that I have used on my Nikon Z8. I am pretty certain the Canon EF 15mm full frame fisheye will do the same as the autofocus motor is built in. Its Canon’s RF mount lenses for the mirrorless camera that cannot be used on Nikon Z bodies, as nobody has produced a RF to Z adapter. While the going price for a secondhand Nikon 8-15 is quite higher than the Canon EF version, remember that this lens requires Nikon’s F to Z lens adapter to work. As for the ports required, Nauticam’s port charts for Nikon DSLR camera can be applied the same way when using Nikon F mount lens via the F to Z adapter on Nikon Z mount cameras.

Preview of the MFO-2 - Now called MFO-3
With the MFO-3, the field of view you see through your 100 or 105mm is altered to what you would see with a 50 to 60mm. In essence you have the best of both worlds for macro general macro work. Add a super macro diopter on a double flip holder, and there will be almost nothing you can't get.

Nauticam Wet lens cleaning
Here two things you can do to prevent this. 1. Don’t allow saltwater or freshwater where there is calcium present in the water to dry on the glass. If you can’t keep your housing in the rinse tank/bucket on the boat, wrap a wet towel around it. 2. After the dive(s) when it comes time to rinse/soak your gear in freshwater, be sure to dry off the glass with clean dry towel or cloth as soon as that done to prevent water spots from lingering. Even my face-mask gets this treatment I live in South Florida where our fresh water is loaded with calcium. If you allow them to dry in place they will leave micro deposits where they dry which are total bitch to remove afterward.

You can contact Saga Dive, as they can mill one for either a Seacam or Subal type 4 to Nauticam N120. They did Seacam to N120 for me last year.

Preview of the MFO-2 - Now called MFO-3
I have just started using a Nauticam MFO-3 mounted with a flip adapter with a Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro Lens and found that it worked surprisingly well. The best testament to just how well it performed was during two blackwater dives of West Palm Beach, FL. Blackwater photography, as some of you know can be in creditably challenging. For me, the greatest test came when we found a small paper nautilus on the second night. Although the little sucker never stop moving except to rest on one diver’s fingertip, I came away with more than a five dozen tack sharp images with just a handful of throwaways where the focus didn’t nail. More I shoot with this lens, the more I like.
