drying ports and water optics in the field?
Between dives, I try to keep it as wet as possible. In a rinse tank if shore diving, or in the shade on the boat under a damp towel. At the resort I use air to blow water. If the dive center does not have a blower, I have a small portable one.

MFO-1 and focus limiter
How is it a game changer? And why is it a game changer with her but not you. Thanks.

Nauticam port options for wide(r) angle but not dome
What a great post. The latter indeed!
-
Nauticam port options for wide(r) angle but not dome
That's a sensible approach. I guess my question is, and you provided a suggestion, what is the widest angle I can use with a flat port before I reach limitations that will impact the image.

Nauticam port options for wide(r) angle but not dome
Hello everyone, I have a Sony A7RV and Nauticam housing. I currently have a 90mm macro lens and Nauticam's corresponding port. What non-dome port options do I have for attaching a wide or slightly wider angle lens? I'm considering a second port, so long as its not a dome because I am trying to keep budget on the lower side as I primarily take macro but would like a reasonable option for non-macro. Thank you

A gamechanger doris smarthousing?
A friend of mine with a Sony A7r3 and a Seafrog housing moved to the Easy Dive housing. He's an avid photographer like us - annual trips with no less than 500 photos. He's said there are so many shortcomings with the ED. Many unmapped buttons. Fewer accessories. And the biggest irk is having to exit out of a menu to review a photo. This entails several "back button pushes" to exit the menu system you are in, then enter another system that lets you review photos. Then exit this system and return to the shooting menu system. Then to add salt to the wound, it takes a few seconds when switching between menus. Everyone knows a few seconds underwater not only feels like an eternity, but costs you shots you could have taken. So much wasted time. There are a few other things that I cannot remember now. But I determined that this is more of a commercial camera than a personal one. Think Deep Dive Dubai or aquariums - where they can spend X amount on a housing then only need to pay a bit to upgrade software. A lot of cost savings but not something for an avid photographer. He is now vehemently looking to move to a Nauticam or Marelux. I'm just pointing out that non-mechanical housings have limits.

Tamrom 90mm f/2.8 Macro for Sony E and Nikon Z announced
Thanks for sharing this. Just f/16? Pairing this lens with a diopter means even more forgone DoF. I recall resolution being pretty good up to f/22 on my Canon EF 100 f/2 L.

Nauticam newest MFO-1
Yep. Definitely not US dollars. Copied from a Facebook page in a far eastern language (could be Hong Kong or Taiwan dollars).

Nauticam newest MFO-1
Although I remain confused at the first point above. Most macro lenses working distance (i.e. the minimum focusing distance to record a 1:1) is always less than 1 meter anyways.

Nauticam newest MFO-1
The MFO-1's main function is to cancel the focus distance limitation. Maybe early days and hence the cryptic marketing blurb, but it looks like they've managed to reduce (doubt they can eliminate) the minimum focusing distance. Info from the internet: #81501 MFO-1 (yellow circle) The main features are: 1. The focusing distance can be within 1 meter, eliminating the focusing distance limit of macro lenses (SMC is within 10cm). 2. Improve the overall picture quality. 3. The distance, range and size of photographed objects have increased a lot of possibilities. It is expected to ship at the end of November, priced at $12,000 #nauticam #smc3 #mfo1

Essential Spares for Underwater Photography?
I was also going to suggest the Nauticam vacuum button cap. It should really have been tethered to the body. I know its not aesthetically pleasing and Nauticam does groove on function as well as aesthetics.
