We have an old similar thread here: https://waterpixels.net/forums/topic/729-having-a-housing-serviced/

I always say this: if only a small percentage of smartphone technology were used in action cameras, we would see a leap in their performance. And regardless, sooner or later, we'll find these features in our mirrorless cameras. The sensor has already gone into production, and the first smartphones incorporating it will be seen in a few months. Sony has unveiled the LYTIA LYT-901, a massive new image sensor (1/1.12-type, 200MP) that could fundamentally change smartphone cameras. Here is the brief summary: AI Zoom Breakthrough: The sensor integrates an industry-first on-chip AI processing circuit that handles intensive remosaicing in real-time. 4x Digital Zoom Quality: This allows the sensor to deliver high-quality, 4x digital zoom performance (up to 4K/30fps video) using only a single lens, achieving results previously limited to dedicated telephoto modules. Performance: It features high dynamic range (over $100\text{ dB}$ claimed) and supports up to 8K/30fps and 4K/120fps video capture. Implications: If successful, this technology will allow phone manufacturers to use fewer lenses, leading to smaller camera bumps, reduced costs, and more space inside the phone for components like larger batteries. In short: Sony is trying to replace the dedicated telephoto lens with a single, high-res sensor plus integrated AI processing. CineDDeath of the Triple-Camera Phone?

It is definitely a mistake, and even 540 euros is a lot!

It must be an incredible experience. Bravo!

So Ikelite won the race to publish the first Nikon ZR underwater video! The magenta tone escaped in some clips 😉

Folks, We all get our information online. For our passion, YouTube has certainly become—for better or worse—one of the main sources, and over the years, each of us has their own reference channels. However, however... I would like to avoid exchanges of opinion about what is best turning into a competition of "who has the last link." It would be great if we discussed things through our own personal experiences, and not through videos with sensationalistic titles made by people who film their dirty laundry in their bedrooms. In short, I would like our forum to be a different place. A place for the exchange of first hand informations and not an echo chamber for other people's opinions. Ciao

Welcome aboard Oliver!

If someone is not satisfied with the SMC-3, I'm here 😀

Amazing macro details. The gills are incredible!

There's one on Abebooks for 463 USD 😱

Do you have some clip to see it in action?

Yes, sorry, you are right, I said something stupid. I was thinking about my 45mm. It doesn't make sense on this lens; in fact, I think it's practically impossible to mount a diopter. My only doubt is what would happen if I mounted an MFO-3. I edited my post.

The Panasonic 30mm lens is very underrated, fundamentally because it reaches its maximum magnification practically on the port glass. But actually, for many situations, in my opinion, it is excellent. All reports say that its AF is snappier compared to its 45mm and 90mm macro cousins. If you then need greater magnification, you can always compensate with a light diopter.

BTW, on Instagram I saw an interview of Aquatica by Underwater Photography Guide. They have a prototype of a Nikon ZR housing https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRQ6IaWETB1/?utm_source=ig_web_button_native_share&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D

I came across this video of the NA-ZR housing. It shows the new Nauticam blue port Locking mechanism. basically a green led signals you correctly attached the port. It should be standard on new housings https://www.facebook.com/cghdive/posts/pfbid0n1uVSfkkhGXUdMx9mcNyHQh9xwA8spaaH3GLXA7kmcFumDdwdeHs2PUCbfLhRUBPl

Or, even better, showing where you come from, during a photographic safari? 😁

Come on, guys! What's better than a nice steaming coffee in a Waterpixels mug?

What I wad thinking of actually, is the combination of 8-15mm FE with a teleconverter 1.4x or 2.0x. If you search on the forum it's a hot topic. The first post I found:

Here the first for you, travelling photo retouchers! https://www.tourboxtech.com/

I've been using the PanaLeica for video since many years. Video AF is awful while color rendition and image quality is superb. IDK how it behaves in photography mode.

Wow, amazing!

Hello, Welcome aboard! Regarding the eternal fisheye dilemma among you photographers, you will find tons of content in the forum but I'll give you a small spoiler: teleconverter + Canon 8-15 fisheye zoom. For the details, I'll leave you to the search function. Ciao

being completely different from the Zeiss design of Alex, could you share some photos taken with this lens? Is it this one?

I think nobody saw the housing in the wild yet.
