That looks great! That was the original A7? I’m impressed.

Camera Prices: Have Manufacturers Lost Their Minds?
Housings are pretty crazy, but it’s likely good to remind ourselves that underwater imaging is a small segment of the larger imaging tech world.

Camera Prices: Have Manufacturers Lost Their Minds?
That’s just for DSLRs eh? They are a shrinking part of the market.

Nauticam N100 Flat Port with Focus Knob, M67 to Bayonet Mount Converter II and WWL-1B Wet Wide Lens - $1590 for all
Hi @EllenS In your first photo showing the port, the box in the background is blurred and I can’t make out the model number of the port. Could it be flat port 45 37165? Thanks. cc @scottmurillo

Hello from Colorado!
Welcome aboard @DavidM Lotta knowledge hereabouts. I feel like a rookie here much of the time, like when I was a photography intern at The Denver Post.

UW Technics TTL Converter Issue
I recall there was another Waterpixeler having issues with a trigger a couple of weeks ago and it appears it was a wire that had come loose. Aside from the main issue, were you able to shoot HSS with the UWT and the Backscatter HF-1?

UW Technics 11078 Retra Backscatter Marelux
Thanks Pavel. I’ll look at it.

Hi from NC
Aloha and welcome @hbax

hybrid options?
The Retra Maxi is due out this fall, and the 6000 lumen video light is an add-on. The Backscatter HF-1 seems like a good option, too, and I had one briefly, but decided to get dedicated video lights.

Sony announced the ultimate compact camera today,… but pricy SONY RX1R III
I love compacts, and I might consider this one if it were half the price. Also, I’d prefer a 28mm fixed.

UW Technics 11078 Retra Backscatter Marelux
I have UW Technics’ 11708 flash trigger for the Sony A7c, A7cII. I’m looking for strobes that enable high speed sync (HSS). On its website, UW Technic says this trigger supports the Retra Pro Max, and Marelux Apollo S. I’m curious what other strobes are supported by this particular trigger. Thanks, mahalo, arigato, gracias, grazie, merci, danke. Craig @Pavel Kolpakov

Downsizing from Full Frame to M4/3
I am now old and weak, so APS-c and m4/3 sounds great to me!

Downsizing from Full Frame to M4/3
I used Olympus m4/3 for years then developed Sensor Envy (SE). I moved to Sony full frame with its amazing autofocus, but I have to say that I miss the form factor and great ergonomics of OMS/Olympus every time I shoot the Sony. I think for my needs, which is trying to capture marine life for prints, documentation and social media - that the 1/2 frame-sized OM sensor is quite good. I’ve had no issues making 11x14 prints but haven’t tried going larger, though I’m sure the m4/3 sensor certainly could. And you’ve already figured out everything about full frame is bigger and bulkier. I think m4/3 is great for travel and personal work. If you have a budget and assistants for paid work, then go big. Your clients expect it, though they may have no clue how you really make images.

YouTube quality issue ?
That IS terrible. Shame on Vimeo.

How Ryo Minemizu captures the hidden wonders of the ocean at night - DPReview Article on Blackwater Diving
I thought it was interesting, too, that he was using EF-s lenses in crop mode. Clearly, his images are great, so crop mode be damned. I’ve done that on occasion but I had a less dense full frame sensor (Sony A7c). Maybe the new MFO-2 will be of interest to him.

YouTube quality issue ?
Hi Kristin. Your clips look better than your buddy’s. My take is that you benefit from being closer to your subject and that one sequence of the two fish looks to have some artificial light, both of which are very helpful. Is most of the video straight out of camera without grading and processing? That could be part of it, with differences in what each camera puts out in terms of contrast and color balance. Fun stuff though! Craig
