Hello everyone, i m working on an article and could use a small help... i remember a couple of years ago a person that had won a uw photo competition had his price revoked. I can t seem to remember exactly he had faked the image or manipulated the seahorse.. can anyone remember this incident or any incident of the sort ?
Thank you @Interceptor121 for passing on very valuable information and knowledge. I still think there is way to much energy spent and noise made on those wet lenses. Especially when i see images like the one @upy from rafael caballero, his image is dead bang on sharp using a z14-30f4. I keep reading everywhere that the z lens are unsharp uw in the corners and full of aberration I feel more and more like there given way more credits than they deserve
Well i ve had a not very good experience with the turtle but despite this i must say that Balazs still refunded me the full amount and i still haven't even sent him back the unit. Balazs was certainly very reactive to my mails yet it's been hard to communicate at times. I might have been unlucky with that unit it happens. One thing that really sucks on the trigger is that there is no visual aid to notify you when its on or off a little led on the side would be quite nice.
i ve been on the z8 in a isotta housing super happy i was before on a nauticam d500 not only can you adapt the nauticam port using the isotta adaptor i was able to also use my nauticam viewfinder the only think that i had a bad experience with so far was with a ttl trigger manufacturer i won t elaborate here but will do in pm.
I must say that first video you posted @Davide DB from artilis i really wonder what lens he has behind that set up... i wonder if i use my z24-50 on wwl1 @50mm if that would do the trick....
Im heading also heading on smiling seahorse end of feb looking forward to it Franck and camille are good old time friends actually. I have just tried for the second time to organize black water in the uae. it was last sat right on new moon we were difrting with the boat. i had a brigh light set up 80k lumen with a gen set at 6 m 2 keldan8k flux at 10 and 2500 lumen at 15 m.
