Brilliant.

It's a bit bulky and likely would be, literally, a drag to haul around clipped to your BC. You could do it by drilling holes in it and threading some cord. The cap clips use small springs, probably sourced for getting wet, but you might want to ask Nauticam if they can tolerate this: https://www.nauticam.com/pages/contact-us Craig

Aloha and welcome!

My Z240s have been good for 4 dives/day using Eneloop Pros with no sign of needing replacement.

Thank you. I keep trying combinations that will make my kit less cumbersome. Maybe one day Google Masks will feature a full frame sensor, edge-sharp fisheye to 100mm macro and strobes firing from our fingertips. Oh, and no tanks of compressed air.

And you were able to zoom through to 50mm? I found that it worked fine at 16mm but would allow for use at 50mm.

Ugh, the tradeoffs! I try carrying the bare minimum in the cabin to make photos if my checked baggage disappears. On my most recent trip, that meant a camera, housing and one strobe. Luckily, I've never lost anything while traveling. Knock wood. Craig

Sounds very much like a dome at this point! 😉

Yup, nobody's fault except our own. I figure it was worth a try, especially because I value that 24mm equivalent perspective. I'm not sure if it's sensor size versus close focusing ability - probably a function of both. This is very likely elementary physics for some of our members. Just a head scratcher for me. Eh, @dhaas does this work on the 1" compacts?

It will likely vignette much less not using the bayonet mount. I tried using an air lens for the same reasons you state, but the bad news is that you're stuck with a semi-wide view. There is no zoom-through capability with the 16-50mm. Craig

Aloha and welcome!

Aloha and welcome Raphael!

Aloha and welcome Cameron! What's your area of expertise at Backscatter? Craig

Keep the interior of the housing dry. If any dust, dirt or sand gets in there, remove those. If there is any moisture in the interior, this will cause fogging when the housing heats up - from the camera or the sun. It sounds as though there is already water inside the housing, or water is getting in through one of the button or dials. When you wash the sealed housing in fresh water, consider pushing and turning all the buttons and dials several times while submerged, this may dislodge any fine debris or sand that can become lodged. Every button and dial is a hole that can allow water, and only an o-ring or two are keeping water out. Also, remove the main o-rings and clean the channels. After the camera is cleaned, leave the back open to dry. Later, seal up the housing without a camera and take it for another dive. You might put some tissue paper in the housing to see if that becomes wet or the housing fogs. If it does, there is likely a leak somewhere. Good luck! Craig

Aloha and welcome!

Aloha and welcome. Diving Thailand is great!

Looks like installation is a breeze. I shudder when I think about installing or removing my old UW Technics trigger.

Aloha and welcome @EllenS

@Mark Don It does look a lot like the waters of Kona, Hawaii. Correct me if that's wrong please.

I sold a Nauticam N120 180mm dome 18809 to Joost Daniels who lives in Monterey, CA. An easy transaction.

I used the EF 50mm macro years ago above water. Slow focusing and very loud (and I wasn't shooting videos). Maybe on a newer body it will show improved focusing speed, but this is a 30-something year old lens.

Aloha and welcome Maroune!

Aloha and welcome Kelvin!

Super!
