Nauticam Strobe Positioning Device
Looks like Nauticam came up with 90 degree turning device for camera/strobes. Interesting concept. Not sure will it catch on, but nice to see new things being innovated. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1448516350568679 Video from Taiwanese Nauticam supplier Meta. Ps. Nauticam is really bad on their own social media. Are they more active on Chinese one?

Printed n100 extension rings
Hi Dave, How did these work out? I never went and bought a printer myself, but i found someone at work who has 3 professional printers at his shop. He also has a cnc machine for aluminium milling, im really keen to try out some N100 extension from him made of alu, depending how he can make it from .stl files. Or ill just try out a N100 from printing.

Upcoming big sales
Tbh, i dont remember any housing ect sales for black friday. Some camera/lens deals will surely come around, but i wouldnt have high hopes for the A7RVI to be featured in them, as the "deals" mostly seem to be for older stock. Maybe one option is to shop around Asia? Depending on exchange rate and friends/family/colleagues travelling of course. I have picked up gear in Taiwan, difference ended up paying for flights and a weekend (drinks excluded🤣).

New Sony Fish Eye
Nauticam is pretty bad at updating website/port charts. And also real bad on social media informing on new releases. As it can be sen now, basically only rumors about a new fisheye port and suddenly they are shipping in China. Similar happened with the 100mm macro port. But i think the existing N100-N120 adapter will work just fine. I tried my RS13 which is in a 50mm F1.8 body, with just adapter and 230mm dome, and the adapter is like 1cm too much, shade is visible slightly in the orners. 8-14 is about 2cm longer than the abovementioned lens, maybe i need to go and just buy the lens to test (but i kinda want to hold out for the Laowa still). Also mods might wanna combine this with the other bigger thread on the lens?

The laowa fisheye has been hands on at event in China last weekend but still no news. Please annoy the s*it out of them :) But ill probably buy the Sony one in November if no news from laowa (and significantly cheaper/better/TC/ect).
