I’m also not sure about the video lights for still photos. You might consider just getting one strobe to start out. The Atoms sound great, but you can also do all right with used Inon z240s/330s, Retras or something similar. The wide angle wet lens is a must.

Very cool Dave! That’s how I clean my suckers, too.

It does seem that the flash just overpowers what you might see in existing light. Try no flash, long exposure or higher ISO. Where does this anemone live?

Aloha and welcome @Jyk The z330s are still good, but having the option to do high speed sync might be something to look at with other strobes. The A6xxx series is fine and can make a lighter, smaller travel kit. Putting the 90mm or 100mm macro in the mix will work, but you will have a 135mm or 150mm equivalent and some might find this too long. You can try the 50mm Zeiss or Sony macro, which will be 75mm and lighter and easier to carry around but some find the lenses a bit slow to focus. This is better with the newer bodies, like the A6600 or A6700. Another system to consider is OM System. Their bodies are small and ergonomics great. Their macro lenses, like the 60mm (120mm equivalent) is tiny. Great for traveling, sharp and you likely will not be disappointed unless you develop the desire to have a bigger sensor. Craig

Really nice. Thanks.

Aloha and welcome Nick @andersonsmog ! If you’re going to be serious about underwater photography, you might want to spend more money, so the Ikelite may be your ticket. The housings are bigger and more buoyant but they work well, and Ikelite services what they make, which can be an issue with what may be one and done Sea Frogs housings. Later, you may be seduced with the more svelte aluminum housings (Sea Frogs make these, too) made by Nauticam, Marelux et al. I’m on Oahu if you want to DM me.
