    whale shark diving in belize, may 11-16, 2017?

    Honestly, to save money. Operators are charging at least 185 USD + tax, to snorkel with the whale sharks. Instead I could maybe pay half of that to a fisherman, who, as you say, know the sea's well and know where the whales sharks are. They were there long before the dive OPs and I could imagine...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    Thanks a lot Mattis. You made me reconsider and then decided to invest into some better, yet still very budget lamps. I'm thinking of ordering 2x https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01482BYTQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AUUG3JG62HTVV Apparently each torch has 3x CREE XM-U U2 LED...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    You must have gotten the lights really cheap! The cheapest I can find is on alibaba, for 169usd + 122usd shipping to DK.. :( The only two options I can do with are: 1) This cheap setup to mount on horse shoe thingy ontop of housing. http://tinyurl.com/hrvko6a However, there is risk of...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    Sjovt, jeg er dansk! But I'll stick to English so others can follow ;-) I am amazed by the said scorpion and crocodile fish. Such great detail and quality from the kit lens imo. Have you done a lot of color correcting afterwards, or are the colors in the video just from the usage of lights...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    Heya Mattis. I plan on getting the sigma 19mm as it is quite wide and cheap =) In some months I can let you know how it is. And what a great video! I love the music. I have some questions, the scorpion fish at 06:48 did you use Opteka's macro for that, or is it from the kit lens + dome? Also the...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    Thanks for the quick reply! However, isn't backscatter only mainly an issue with using flash? And not a constant light as I would while filming?

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    A quick question about lighting: I want to buy some UW light and these are my only current options: Either the cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MA6AF4J/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2558Y5X3K7V67 Then place it ontop of the Meikon housing's shoe fitting. OR, this...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    Thanks a lot ggibson. I do plan on getting a strobe / light to get best colors possible. So taking that into account, would you suggest I stick to the kit lens, than using the Sony 35mm? OR , would say the sigma 19mm would be a better bet than the sony 35mm for UW video/photo, and therefore I...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    I didn't get much replies from the other thread, so I will try here. So now a question about lenses. I contacted Meikon and they said the following lenses fit: Sony E 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 PZ OSS (Manual zoom available, set camera to autofocus) Sony E 20mm F2.8 (Autofocus only) Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    Hey Mbs! Good tip regarding the O-rings. Maybe I should invest in some extra ones. Since you've used it so many times - what do you think of the wet-lens dome? For the Meikon housing I can get this flip/pivot, that lets you pivot on the dome in the water. As I have heard others have had a bit...

    Sony A6000 / A6300 meikon housing review

    Awesome H20doctor! Is there a specific reason for why you chose to not buy the Meikon bundle that also came with a tray and handle? I am considering just getting that to save me the hassle ^^ But great set-up. And good idea with testing the kit on a dive before putting in your camera. I should...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    Thanks so much Lars! I will mostly be filming underwater and so found a great deal on ebay for the A6000 + kit lens and the Sony 35mm 1.8. I have also read on other forums, specifically DPreview, that the 35 1.8 should also fit, so I am really crossing my fingers that it does once I get the...

    Sony 30 Mm F3.5 Macro - Any Good Under Water? Alternatives?

    Hey Lars! I am really considering getting the A6000 + the Meikon set-up as it is such a cheap option for great UW photography and video. Did you decide on some lenses for it that you can recommend that fits the Meikon housing? Thanks!
