    @aquabluedreams There are a couple of used 4000k Kraken lights on eBay. Here's a link to the cheaper of the two: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305857241328?_skw=kraken+video+light&itmmeta=01JE57NGQ0AY8MJYTJQCDM8GJJ&hash=item47368320f0:g:zJkAAOSwE7NnGV~Q&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlDxTjXLweNgO3%2BZHdMs9k2WaPMOQ1I53ZH2VXyLNWGBw9X02k3VaHgFhcOEPgmh7hfDOmbwAjpNdePMCvUFHpIoJWap5GBCnO5LeOqsVK65XXEctE01jHZIwXrMOMuV5f28XrgDeefdabeiFs9kHo--7Q6Osf3DhQSEAAq3DbqxA%2Be8KnPJAEBjXkiwHBKzRMtK5%2BlaAho%2FHWq%2FPkZiegtsPUrrZODyAKrfXnQ2raHsY0oMuz14lbTTvJpBgQxFm8%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8yL1qfxZA

    Hi Kees, Were you thinking of having the third off-camera, more like a remote? Or using this on the rig? It's an interesting proposition, but it may just be unwieldy. Perhaps the simplest course is to shoot as wide as you can and get as close as you can. I shoot Z240s also, but I haven't tried this.

    Aloha Kees! Welcome to Waterpixels!

    I believe you can use this with Affinity.

    I hope I didn't come across as angry, and the other commenters didn't come across to me as angry. Far from it. This has been an good back and forth on the pros and cons of this new software in my opinion.

    @Klaus Thank you. That was a nice report. The diving looks good.
  7. humu9679
    There’s a market for this. I’m buying.
  8. humu9679
    @Klaus @bghazzal I think you'd lose distance focusing, and I don't think anyone is making extension tubes that communicate all the AF instructions, etc, but it's possible. You can reverse the lens, but same problem.

    One hopes that we will only occasionally shoot a really crap photo, but if you only get one frame, and you want to save it - this is pretty good. Frames we would otherwise throw out, such as this photo below, will be salvageable.

    I have the Macro Port 45 and zoom gear. Oh, and you can use the Port 45 with the WWL-1 if you ever decide to go there. Here are photos showing an A6000 housing, port 45, flip diopter holder, CMC-1; and a camera body with the 16-50 and zoom gear.
  11. humu9679
    You can use the N85 port 45 with the older 16-50 kit lens, then add the 30mm extension to use the Zeiss 50 macro. That's my plan. The old and new 16-50mm lenses don't have great reputations optically, but I think they do the job at the price point they sell for.
  12. humu9679
    @bghazzal The specs and capabilities of the A6700 are great, but it seems you are having to resort to chewing gum and gaffer tape to make this work.

    @coweyman This not an "air" lens but a dome which corrects the wide angle perspective underwater: https://www.ikelite.com/products/dc1-6-inch-dome-for-olympus-tough-tg-5-tg-4-tg-3?_pos=2&_fid=8c3e30f03&_ss=c

    @coweyman You probably want to use Ikelite's wide lens and port: https://www.ikelite.com/products/dome-port-for-olympus-fcon-t02-lens-and-adapter-kit?pr_prod_strat=pinned&pr_rec_id=72cff6f69&pr_rec_pid=3943133118533&pr_ref_pid=3925976088645&pr_seq=uniform There may be other combinations that may work. If you had an Olympus or Seafrogs housing there are wet lens options from Backscatter, Kraken, Inon. If you don't want to shoot fisheye, you might attach an "air" lens, which basically restores the wide view that a flat port takes away underwater. Backscatter has one. I find the air lens is a good addition to the basic Olympus kit because it allows you to shoot macro without removing the lens. You might look around for Ikelite options. Regards, Craig

    Saw that. Very sad news.

    @cashmorephoto Aloha brah! I'm based on Oahu, too. I'd hold on to the TG-7 and GoPro - sometimes those things come in handy! Regards, Craig

    @gozturkeri Welcome to Waterpixels! If you're new to photography, you've certainly Gone Big with your first step out the door! Phil Rudin, a Marelux ambassador and general font of knowledge, is on the forum if you have thoroughly researched Marelux and can't find the answer.

    @JWNZ Welcome Waterpixels James!

    Looks like it can use Affinity software. I haven't tried using that in years.
  20. humu9679
    Holy shit!

    I'm using Sony in a Nauticam housing, and to me, there are a few choices. You can still use your Tokina 10-17mm with an APS-c body with a 140mm dome. There are other primes / zooms you can use with larger domes. Then there's the WWL, Inon, Kraken, et al wet lenses, and in a league of their own, the WACP-1, 2 and C (which has fewer APS-c options). If I had extra dollars, I might go the WACP route, but I'm happy with the portability of the wet lenses. You can travel with one port, the WWL and close up lenses.
  22. humu9679
    I have the original WWL-1, and it works fine with the USD $45 replaceable float collar. Same glass. Much cheaper.
  23. humu9679
    @Wags Welcome! You’ll find some newer people, too. There’s also been some discussion about the Action 4 of late.
  24. humu9679
    Thanks @PeterN That was great!

    I think weighing the whole rig in with a luggage scale in a tub or pool is the way to go. My preference is to be slightly negative, and not tipping upwards or down. Then, I add buoyancy offsets, say with Stix floats (jumbo are +181g each; large are +96g), or buoyancy arms.
