Now the question is: does it accept a teleconverter?

Hi JB, Could you upload on YouTube a small unlisted video showing the problem? P.S. An Unlisted video on YouTube is a privacy setting where a video is hidden from public discovery but remains accessible to anyone who has the direct link (URL).

Backscatter filters are not the best but worth a try. If you missed it I suggest to read this incredible article on WB and action cameras. Concepts are valid for any camera.

I couldn't agree more. Often technological replacement is confused with the extinction of an entire sector. The idea that smartphones would completely wipe out cameras was based on the assumption that taking a picture is just recording pixels. Following this linear reasoning, if the phone takes good photos for 99 percent of daily situations, the dedicated camera no longer has a reason to exist. Instead, something very similar to what happened in the music market with vinyl is happening. The more mobile photography becomes automated, compressed, and dominated by aggressive computational algorithms, the more people rediscover the value of the physical object, manual control, and an image with a natural optical rendering. "organic" 😁 Just look at kodak and film stocks. it was declared dead but now a lot of movie are shot again on film stock. The phenomenon of the Fujifilm X100 series and Ricoh GR is explained precisely like this: Fuji has intercepted a huge audience that wants the "organic" shooting experience and ready-to-use color rendering, without necessarily having to spend the evening developing RAW files on a monitor. The overtake of Nikon in terms of volumes tells exactly this change of priority in the consumer market. I guess that most of the X100 and GR customers comes form smartphones and not from hard core photography. The roles have simply sorted themselves out in the end. The smartphone acts as an omnipresent visual notepad and finances technological research on sensors, the dedicated camera remains the tool of those who look for deliberate action and control of parameters, and action cams and products like the Osmo Pocket have taken the place of old camcorders for mobile video. Smartphones may cannibalize large numbers, but they will hardly erase dedicated tools as long as the latter continue to offer a user experience that a flat touch glass can never replicate.

While it's tiny, it's a prime lens so you will not get the flexibility of a fisheye zoom and TC

Yes certainly but ours is a niche need. In normal photography today HDR is used. But surely underwater photography will benefit from it too. We need to keep an eye on the reviews of the new high end Chinese phones coming at the end of the year that will use Sony and Omnivision sensors.

We are not very good at predicting market trends 🙃 And anyway I will never tire of emphasizing that the number of smartphones sold is 1.25 billion units, while the entire photography sector, including compacts and mirrorless cameras, did not even reach 10 million. Two orders of magnitude. Technology advance comes from smartphones.

Something more serious
