Which Wet Lenses for Bunaken and Lembeh? (Video)

1 posts
  1. I am about to get on a 12 nights trip to Bunaken and Manado and I will be taking the following lenses with me (all wet lenses I shoot with a Panasonic LX7)

     

    I shoot video, if it was stills I would have no doubts about choice

     

    Wide

    Inon UWL-H100 (LD Bayonet) - 100 diagonal fov

    Nauticam Wet mate (M67)- 84 diagonal fov

     

    Close up

    Inon UCL100 (M67+LD Bayonet)

    Inon UCL165 (M67+LD Bayonet)

     

    My crucial dilemma is what mount to take in water. If I take the LD bayonet the Inon UWL-H100 does not allow zooming as the image gets blurred. If I take the Nauticam Wet Mate I can use the zoom but I have less field of view. Zooming is essential for video if I don't want to be zooming with my fins all the time

     

    I have done some homework and there not seem to be any large wrecks or pelagics requiring the UWL-H100 but I will still take it with me

     

    So my default configuration unless I know there are pygmy seahorses is Wet Mate + Inon UCL165

     

    Anybody that has been in the area can make comments on this?
