every problem has a solution 😜

hey @Davide DBand @Tobyone i have been tinkering the same lately with anamorphic. have you tried shooting anamorphic uw ? very curious of the result... Thank you

hey @DigitalNomad75 i assume from the last post you have managed to open the link 🙂 thank you for reading

hey i could be interested but would need to get them shipped outside of the us can we discuss in pm ?

hey changing a bit the topic im curious as to why did interceptor leave water pixels?? also i was talking to harald from seacam to see if there would be any chance of a gh7 i dont think it will happen either he didn't seemed thrilled with the idea and i don't think isotta will make one either...

I think i recall a story about some parts that were hard to source but that was a while back before they were discontinued....

they are coming soon i had a chat with takuya a few month ago they are VERY aware that they need to replace the z330

@Walt Stearns Hi, fast forwarding to september would love to read more on your af experience on a z8 megadap isaac conversion thank you ! do you get your battery drained from the megadap ?

I highly recommend the UWT over the TRT it is way more reliable in every way

Hey everyone i own a nauticam lens i cant seem to unscrew from my flip holder i assume theres been some aluminium oxydation.. would anyone have any tip to help me ? Thank you

I the end i am taking back and apologise about what i said about the product it does work. The trigger was not working because the camera was on silent mode this cancels any flash triggering. My experience was a disaster and could ve been handled differently and make a difference but like i said balaz reimbursed me in full i still haven't been able to send him back the unit will do that asap.

yes though i realised after that my evf brightness was super high after removing live view i though i was in lighten condition where in reality i might have been attempting to shoot without proper foucing light!

This is too funy man i just realised lol thats so funy that we were together on the same trip and didn t realise !! I think you are right about focus light i'm looking as we speak to order quite a few lights im probably going to go with big blue for the line im still not sure if i should go with 5000 lumen or 9 000 lumen i will add some focus lights smalled than 20 lumen galia even if i use it at half power... I have done some research yesterday mike bartick is also on a z8 he is using the f105 the z105 and seems to be also using the 24-50 but with the wacp-1 instead of the wwl1 not sure if the focusing distance is better with the wacp...

@Barmaglot and @bghazzal@Davide DB actually just came back from smiling seahorse, franck the owner of the boat is one of the most passionate photographers i have had the chance to know funnily enough i knew him before he was diving professionally and did his aow-dm at my place back when i had a center ! Long story short they offer black water trips on every trip if there is enough participant, myanmar just reopened this was the first cruise and we got to do 2 bw dives. It was interesting i have yet to look at my photos, i was on the z8 and must say i was really struggling with the af in black water. I used to shoot a d500 and it was much more efficient for bw. For wa it was great for daytime macro too but for black water without 2 x 5k lumen focus light i would not get a focus and i tried many af-servo the most efficient was af-c with a large box.. i did try using my 16-35 in a 230 mm port to film for macros as well as th 24-50 with wwl1 to film but very hard to get sharpness in both cases. David i can only guess those lenses you quote were on m4/3 so maybe on fx a 50-85mm would be better provided it has short focus distance..

Thank you everyone for the awesome feedback and the input just as a reminder it's not about putting the blame on anyone but really about opening what i believe is a discussion we don t hear about enough, i also want to emphasize how lucky we are to have such cool hobby and time for a passion while some on the planet have much pressing issues.. It is a very difficult topic and the line is very thin it is also very hard to define if tourism is a good or negative thing for habitats i have seen places that thrived thanks to tourism others like in sharm where i have seen the reefs in really bad shape my first time there was in 96 last one was in 23... I know for example in hawai they have strict rules about approaching marine mammals... Like always there are those with good practices and those without a care... my approach has always been to be as humble as possible when in the sea.. i ve always taught one motto to all my dive student a good diver is a diver that never stops learning i believe the same applies in uw photography.. heading out for a cruise in thailand tonight will be off the grid for two weeks apologies if i don't follow up in the threads, merci to all
