You mean the new RF not FE... ?

Hi Rafiq If you want some informations... You can read (in french) ma review of our last trip in Lembeh. Petit séjour plongée à Lembeh du 11 au 21/02/2026 - Compte-rendus de voyages - Plongeur.com - Le site de la plongée sous marine The Solitude Lembeh is a great resort the best where I was in Lembeh.

Hahaha.. I have "some" extension near of waht I will need... The port chart when I buy some other lenses was wrong... ;)

I'm Only FF Silver.. first good point +10 Kg... but in cabin they are no changes.. Did you have more KG ? But Yes it helps to have a lot KG you don't use to explain that some more KG in cabine is not a real problem. ;) I'm sure that if you are a lambda flyer (no Silver or Gold) the situation will be an other at the checking.

No rush, for the price... I have a Isotta and the Zoom gear No problem I make one in 3D printing. like the other I have In september/ october this year I travel to Tahiti... If I can have this lens... why not ( Whale, Sharks ) I all case I will also have my rectilinear WA lens and why not the 14-35 lens (No macro ;) )

Thank you for this review. I'll probaly buy this lens... but I have a little bit time before the next trip... I hope the price will go down...

The Solitude Lembeh is really good. we spent 10 days... only one word "PERFECT" 1 guide for 2 divers it is the rule

I love your check list. How many KG ? for sure more than 7 good luck at the check-in Zürich ;)

I allways remove the handle of my Isotta R5 housing... put it in the backpack to go... and in the laggage way back.

I can't agree with that. I work in CH, and like you don't need more than 20 minute to be in CH. ( No it's depending of the moment of the day... some times when the worker are going to Basel... it can be more than one hour ;) ) My working kolleg from CH are not really happy... appartment insurance etc etc all is very expensive... and in comparaison with France they didn't have a lot of money. BUT strike is not an option It is not in the culture of Swiss-German

If Indonesia start this shit like Mexico some location will have less en less travellers. Lembeh is a good example of location where the count of resort will decrease very fast. I'll take no risk an go north to Philippines if I hear some other case.

You didn't know anything of Switzerland otherwise you wouldn't say that. It's hard to live and work in CH. Salary is high BUT all are expensive.

No no... i'm a patriot... but for flying I didn't trust french airline/airport ... I mainly fly from Switzerland ... strike is a unkwon word for the people in Zurich

Like Singapore Air the "best" compagny is Air France 12 KG in economy. but you have other problem, you are never sure that they will not strike

I had a problem 3 weeks ago when I made the checkin in Zurich with Singapore Air. It was the first time he asked that I put by backpack to see the weight.... 15 KG... ( less than normal, the I didn't have the dome then for Lembeh ;) ) Normaly it is 18 kgs...... Big discussion... but finally it was ok. It is harder and harder to travel.... We had enough weight available with 2 x 30 kgs + 2 x10 extra as frequent flyers... and with 3 laggage we had "only" 55 kgs.... --> 25 kgs available ... but I was not acceptable to put my R5 housing in the laggage.

Yes CFExpress 1GB but I use allways the same 512 GB SDcard... (have some backup just in case with me. I'm not making backup from the pictures every days on the SSD.. "only" after 3 or 4 days diving and then with the Lightroom xmp. I used when I'm back at home the SSD to transfer the data to my RAID over my home PC. Before I bought the new Surface pro I had some free space problems... (only 512 GB in the old Surface) not because the picture, but the vdeo my wife took. With one TB SSD in the new Surface... and for a small trip it will be enough... but for a trip of 3 weeks... I'll prabably run out of disk space.

I m also travelling with 2 Samsumg T7 from 1 TB to backup (2 times) the pictures transfered. That my R5 have 2 card I only empty one the other hold all the pictures (1 TB) Backup baclup backup..... it's important.

same remark as @Dave_Hicks a Surface Pro with Intel CPU not ARM.

I fully agree this idea... I'm using since years now Suface Pro. I have the last model with Intel Processor... with 1 TB HD...Good screen light and It is a REAL PC under Windows 11.

I have an old Isotta housing for my canon G5x... and since 4 year an Isotta with my Canon R5. I'm happy with it... it is a brand from Europe and in the actual situation It is important for me to buy "local".

I noticed that the size of the 7-14 is more or less the same as the 10-20... Good point

As Canon R5 user i'm really happy that Canon bring this lens at the market. I'm waiting the first test on land... and after underwater. As already say I'm using the rectilinear 10-20 mm... I never used fisheyes.. You all are so happy with this fisheyes that I need to test it... I want to show the difference it makes. Not sure i'll be happy for some dive where I take such pictures,where a fisheyes will deform the line

Not sheap .... but if it is a good lens... ;)

No I have the RF10-20 mm Very happy with it... rectilinear... some here didn't like rectilinear... I'm really happy with that. But as soon the new RF7-14 will be available... I probably try it... no sure I'll appreciate it.. but I need to try a fisheyes .. I'm allready have th RFx2 extender if it work with the new RF7-14... why not make test with booth together.

Very interesting part we find here... What I like are not the part (they are good) but the idea from the other... They are so many different methode / concept... I really need to start again building my own parts... .but since 3 month... no time... to many work at work... I need holiday
