Impressed with this lens
You can shoot f/5.6 and it is still holding up. F/4 is too much. F/8 sweet spot for most cases
Full frame does not seem to mean shooting at f/16 if you have the right lens

Thanks for sharing this... what dome port did you use?

As per video description 180mm wide angle port

Thanks (I watched the video with the sound off....)
By any chance have you had a chance to dive with the Tamron 17-28mm and the 180mm port in open water? I'm specifically interested in its ability to handle sunbursts/sunballs - as in, how good/bad is the flare and ghosting with this set up?

Great videos, I really enjoyed watching them... Looks like you were diving deeper than in the shallows(!?) so I guess you wouldn't have experienced ghosting/flare at those depths...!?

There are some shots with the surface
This lens generally doesn’t flare has very small ghosting that only occurs topside with the sunball in the frame
Underwater I don’t see how this will ever be a problem
Besides I don’t get this issue with any of my lenses or domes
i have seen examples with the wacp-c but I have never experienced an issue myself

Thanks for the info... I'm looking to take more pics incorporating sunballs/sunbursts and I just want to make sure that before I splash out a huge sum on ports, extensions, and gears, that I'm not going to get a whole load of flare/ghosting...

This is the video forum so does not really cover the idea of sunburst shots which I would normally take with a fisheye or distorted optic not rectilinear
I do not anticipate this lens to have issues but that is not my intended use either
