bump ^_^

My wife uses the Dive and See DNC-5B https://diveandsee.com/dnc-5b-5-inch-4k-uwater-hdmi-sdi-video-monitor-live-video-lut-option/ Listed as 600 nits, -300g underwater. She is quite happy with it. We dive primarily in the Philippines and shoot macro. She has only complained of it not being bright enough when filming in direct sunlight in shallow conditions (3-5m).

My impression from people that have been there and this thread is that perhaps the fisheye would be a good choice for the mantas (and maybe the dolphins as well?) since they don't seem to mind extreme proximity. The hammerheads in particular though i think is where the fisheye will struggle.

Thanks for the heads up. I own one of the Panasonic variants already so I'm planning on sticking with that one unless it presents any issues.

Thanks for the input. I'm leaning towards the 14-42mm + WWL-1 for my wife and video and then I'll stick with my adapted 8-15mm for stills.

I saw this on the metabones website regarding the 1.0x glass-less adapter: Does your wife shoot video? Just wondering how much this will actually affect the AF.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. It sounds like the 8mm fisheye may not be the best option. I'll start looking around for any of the following: WWL1 + 14-42 kit lens adapted Tokina 10-17mm 12-35mm with the 6" Nauticam dome It will likely some down to if i can find any of these used for a good price!

Hi, looking for a WWL-1B setup to go with the Panasonic LUMIX G Vario 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 II ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S Would be interested in the following items: Nauticam WWL-1B Wet Wide Lens - na-83202 Nauticam N85 Macro Flat Port 35 with 67mm Threads - na-36139 Nauticam P1442II-Z Zoom Gear: Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II ASPH MEGA O.I.S. lens - na-36057 Nauticam M67 to Bayonet Mount Converter II - na-83250 Could ship to either US address or Philippines. Thanks ^_^

Thanks, this is super useful! I'll start looking around for a WWL. Sounds like natural light may be the way to go as we're not going to be spending the $$$ for 20k lumen keldans when we primarily shoot macro ^_^

Hi, planning a potential trip to Soccoro in early December. I'm wondering on what lenses/setup would be most appropriate. From what I can tell the mantas like to get up close and personal, but not sure about the rest of the marine life. I have an adapted 8-15mm Canon Fisheye I shoot on my Olympus EM5-III that I think will cover most of my needs. Let me know if this is wrong. I only shoot stills. My partner shoots video on a GH5-II. She currently only has the Olympus 8mm fisheye for wide angle, the rest of her lenses are for macro. She also has 2 Backscatter MW-4300 lights. Is this going to leave her disappointed? I imagine the 8mm fisheye might not have enough reach for sharks, etc. Would a 14-42mm kit lens with a Nauticam WWL be a better option? Also not sure if she'll regret not having pore powerful lights. Any advise appreciated. Thanks!

Pictures in order: Camera with adapter, lens, and zoom gear Picture of where the camera tray and the adapter didn't fit together Part of the camera tray I had to file/grind down Camera in the housing with the zoom mechanism and 20mm extension Housing with the dome installed as well Hopefully that is useful to someone ^_^

I've been using it for a year or two already ^_^ Except for the filing of the metabones adapter and the corner of the camera tray to get everything to assemble it is very straightforward. I'll assemble it and post a picture when I get some time.

I believe so, it's this one I'm using: https://www.metabones.com/products/details/mb_ef-m43-bt2

happy to help. I'd drop them an email, they always responded to me pretty quickly and should get you sorted with exactly what you need.

Yep, no problem. As mentioned above it requires a part that was not listed on their site at the time, but they were very responsive via email. I have the following setup. This was recommended to me directly by Isotta when I inquired about this setup via email. Camera: EM5 Mk III -> metabones adapter -> Canon 8-15mm (note I had to file the metabones adapter a bit for the housing tray to screw onto the bottom of the camera with it installed, pic included). Housing/port: EM5 Mk III housing -> 40mm extension + gear ( SKU 2548) -> zoom ring (SKU 3546 not on website when I ordered it, but it looks like it is now on there) -> 20mm extension (SKU 0174) -> 4.5" glass dome (SKU 1429)
