Apart from the fact that finding reliable reviews on social media is a bit like looking for a unicorn 🙂 In my opinion, one has to distinguish between use cases. Shooting on land and shooting underwater are two completely different worlds. It has often happened that very good cameras on land were terrible or mediocre underwater. -

Which depth? Here in the Med with medium viz I was able to get consistent results up to 10 meters. I can MWB up to 20 meters but with unpredictable results: the camera performs MWB easily but colors are completely off. Tons of greens. The camera probably sets the colour temperature to the maximum of its scale (even if it is insufficient) and gives a positive response to the user. Unfortunately, Mediterranean water (and it also depends on where) is completely different from tropical water (and it also depends on where) so the results are not at all comparable. Below 20 meters the only decent clips I saw were shot in RAW (Canon C300 MKII, another planet). Maybe @lutfu tried with his GH5 in the eastern Mediterranean which has very clear water.

In a move likely to be embraced by DIY camera enthusiasts, Nikon has introduced a new portal providing repair manuals and parts for self-repair of their cameras. This represents a notable change from Nikon's previous stance of not supplying spare parts to independent repair shops. The new portal offers consumers detailed information on repairing Nikon cameras, including step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting guides, and comprehensive parts lists. Currently, only the 28-400mm F4-8 VR lens is featured. This initiative is a positive development for the right-to-repair movement, empowering Nikon users to fix their own devices. However, it's crucial to understand that camera, and particularly lens, repairs can be extremely intricate. Nikon advises that only those confident in their skills should undertake these repairs. I also have some reservations about lens repairs without specialized alignment tools, but a thorough review of the repair manual might clarify these concerns. Nikon repair portal is here: https://parts.nikonusa.com/ Nikon Parts home page has this disclaimer: -
Thank you Phil

Yes hence my question: are there option supported by manufacturers that not imply file and saw? OK thanks
-
Yes I know this is the correct way. I wanted to avoid a trip to the store because actually stainless screws with allen head are harder to find here. I have to go to a nautical hardware store and then maybe go there and find out it's in inches. Anyway it's not a 1/4 20 photographic but it looks like an M6

Hello everyone, What official options are there for owners of other brands of housings to mount Nauticam wet lenses while keeping the qualities intact? Regardless of judgments, it is a fact that these optics have changed the market. Here is an excellent roundup of the various models available. I often see photos of various brands' housings with WWL-1 or WACP or EMWL but cannot find mention in the manufacturers' catalogs. Recently I saw that Isotta has included an adapter for WWL on their site but otherwise... Personally I understand the competitors' intention to defend their brand but I find this behavior even counterproductive because sometimes you are a victim of vendor lock-in. Knowing that you can change housing and still use them or that my housing can use them and I don't have to change it.

Maybe @Aquatica could help me?

Hi all, My buddy lost the screws of his Aquatica GH5 housing handles. Do you know which kind of screws they are? Thanks
-
Welcome back diverssss!
-
Me too but I am trying to figure out if it is possible to adapt them to other housings. I'm surethat Isotta provides adapters to mount Nauticam lenses. I don't know about Marelux and Aquatica. We could open a thread 😉
-
I see that Bluewater Photo lists Aquatica and Marelux GH7 housings for preorder. Maybe they are changing the stickers 🙂 @Phil Rudin do you know anything about this housing? https://www.bluewaterphotostore.com/marelux-panasonic-gh7-underwater-housing/ https://www.bluewaterphotostore.com/aquatica-panasonic-gh7-underwater-housing/

I used the block in the photo for at least five years before I bought my floating arms but you can paint them for a badass looking 😉

My buddy has an Aquatica AGH5 and it's built like a tank. I see Backscatter has the Aquatica AGH6 on sale while Aquatica doesn't list it on their site. 1K€$ less... Isotta never made an housing for it. Edit: Aquatica AGH6bis discontinued but I guess they will change the Sticker...
And it was (actually is) an expensive one. The reason is a mystery to me.
I think a used GH6 housing is like a unicorn.
Yes, as I told you it is cut and shaped like balsa. I got these cubes by drawing a grid with pencil on the pvc block and then cut them with a carpenter's band saw. Then with a hole punch I drilled a 2.5 cm hole to put the arms in. Basically stix but resistant to 150 meters. You can make a cardboard template of the base you need and then transfer it to the block and then cut and shape.
Besides from the mounting (I used a DIY screw mount) I only used it in video 16:9 so I didn't notice these caveats.
Make me an offer, they are taking dust in my drawer...
The EOS C400 camera records in 6K full frame up to 60p in 12-bit Cinema RAW Light. By changing the sensor mode, the camera can record 4K RAW up to 120fps and 2K RAW up to 180fps. This is all recorded in Canon’s latest iteration of Cinema RAW Light, which provides three different recording modes to choose from depending on your file size preference and workflow. Other recording options include the Canon-developed, industry standard XF-AVC codec which can be recorded in 10-bit 4:2:2 with oversampling from the 6K sensor, helping to create rich detail and smooth imagery, at frame rates up to 120P, without the need for cropping the image from the sensor. Canon is also introducing two new recording codecs into the EOS C400 camera, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata. All of these options are recorded to the camera’s CFexpress slot with sub-recording and proxy options available to the SD Card slot, which allows for simultaneous recording even when shooting RAW.
MELVILLE, N.Y., June 5, 2024 —Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is pleased to announce the new Canon EOS C400 cinema camera, with a native RF-mount and full-frame, back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, designed with the film and live production markets in mind. For the first time in the cinema EOS system, the Canon EOS C400 camera features a newly developed 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, with triple-base ISO, allowing the camera to deliver stunning imagery in a wide range of lighting conditions. The base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800 maximize the full dynamic range of the camera. An additional benefit of the EOS C400 camera’s sensor is the support for the next generation of Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel AF II. The back-illuminated stacked positioning offers better light-capturing efficiency, which widens the area of the sensor that can be used for autofocusing. The sensor also empowers faster readout speed, as well as better 4K image quality from 6K oversampling. The EOS C400 camera records in 6K full frame up to 60p in 12-bit Cinema RAW Light. By changing the sensor mode, the camera can record 4K RAW up to 120fps and 2K RAW up to 180fps. This is all recorded in Canon’s latest iteration of Cinema RAW Light, which provides three different recording modes to choose from depending on your file size preference and workflow. Other recording options include the Canon-developed, industry standard XF-AVC codec which can be recorded in 10-bit 4:2:2 with oversampling from the 6K sensor, helping to create rich detail and smooth imagery, at frame rates up to 120P, without the need for cropping the image from the sensor. Canon is also introducing two new recording codecs into the EOS C400 camera, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.

I remember we touched this topic time ago on WP. If you browse all the Chinese lights vailable across the various brand you will discover a lot of similar lights or exact copies TL;DR Understanding who makes what is a mess...
