  1. HiKenjiang, Welcome aboard! We hope you'll like the community. Ciao
  2. Hi Karlo, Welcome aboard! Video or photo? 😈
  3. Thanks for the detailed feedback from a real use case. Two questions: Did you find any differences or did you have to change anything in your setup since this monitor is supposed to be much heavier than the previous one? Others and I are using the Weefine 5 inch with great satisfaction, but we drew a wild card with the extra features. The Zebras are not real zebras. In short, the firmware feels homemade. How do you like yours?
  4. 28-60mm alone is already a medium to narrow lens. I have the 14-42mm (M43 hence 28-84mm) and CMC-2. Adding a CMC-2 you definitely go in medium macro territory. But don't confuse this configuration with a true macro lens. I made the same mistake naively years ago. I had the WWL and buying a single flip with the CMC-2 was the obvious choice. But if you look at the port chart you notice you have a focus/distance gap. The MFD of the 14-42mm is much greater than the focus range of the CMC-2. And you're therefore forced to be very careful about distances from your subjects. For example, my 14-42mm has a MFD of 20 cm at 14 and 30 cm at 42mm. For example you have a nudibranch at 20 cm from you. You're at 42mm and you can't focus on it but if you put on the CMC-2 it's not in focus anyway and you have to get closer between 77 and 122 mm. Depending on the subject and situation it could be really annoying. I also have a 45mm (90 FF) on which I mount the CMC-2 with the flip and for macro it's a completely different sport. Sure you don't do medium subjects but from small to fairly advanced macro you cover all sizes and distances. Now I don't want to dismiss this configuration that I still use and consider a jack of all trades. But it's not ideal like it was often recommended years ago.
  5. Welcome aboard! We have an amazing article. It says pretty everything on this topic:
  6. Hi Sharyn, Welcome aboard! Ciao
  7. For you nerds: everything you always wanted to know SEE about camera focal plane shutters, leaf shutters and flash sync. Gavin Free explores the intricate mechanics of mirrorless and DSLR cameras using high-speed cinematography. By filming shutter mechanisms, aperture blades, and flash sync operations at up to 80,000 frames per second, the episode visualizes the complex, often invisible processes that occur during every single photograph.
  8. Hi Sean, welcome aboard! Another M43 user here... We hope you like the community Ciao
  9. The big difference is not so much in the housing as in the camera lenses. You must have all seen that you have to replace them, and they even give you a kit with a glove. They are two different technologies. The videos I saw are actually perfect. I would sell the whole X5 kit right away... These shillfluencers are priceless 😄 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dcz5LRWhIK0/?stkn=bWowZG82MzVkdDA=

  11. Hi Dex, welcome aboard! It is a common practice to make an introductory post in this sub-forum and then post freely in the other sections. Tell us something about you. There is a dedicated sub-forum for travel advice and reports: https://waterpixels.net/forums/forum/31-trip-reports-travel/ ciao
  12. No. They are phisically not compatible. I collected another BS. I was too excited about all these fisheye lenses suddenly on the market. I better stay in the video forum 😇
  13. Oops! Sorry for the BS then!
  14. Hi Simon, thank you very much for sharing this preview right here with us and thank you also for the raw files. I read that it does not work with the Sony TC. Is there a chance that it could work with Kenko ones or is there a physical reason with the rear lens element? Thank you in advance
  15. Curious about the new Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G? One of our community members, @Simon Pierce had early access to the newly announced Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G Visit the forum to explore a detailed pre-release breakdown covering underwater housing setups, size comparisons, and downloadable sample shots.

  16. So if I understand correctly, this lens will be huge for users of cropped systems, who will be able to take advantage of the zoom without using a teleconverter. Great news for Sony APS-C users and for M43 users 🏆
  17. Hello Simon, welcome on board! Congratulations on your research on sharks and your work as a photographer. Ciao
  18. A funny video and crazy use of video with an AF demonstration 😁
  19. Welcome aboard! Yet another member with a mighty A7SIII! Ciao
  20. Now the question is: does it accept a teleconverter?

  25. 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).
