Dear divers with experience with Sony, I kindly ask for precious advice! Please see the screenshot below, I basically wrote down the whole rig, as you can see in red are highlighted the only parts that I still need to find out . Can you please:
1. Evaluate if the lens selection and set up is good or if you would choose something else? I found a guy selling a SEL1018 len for 400 eur, seems like a good deal for this lens, right?
I will still use the camera for shooting mostly wide angle big pelagics and half in and out of water
2. Check if I missed something in the rig?
3. Please check the ones left in red color, for these I do not know what needs to be bought? (Basically strobes trigger options & arms/clamps)
4. for the arms, will this setup need some float arms for buoyancy?
5. I have already an Ikelite Tray, will this work? Product # 9523.64 (Tray with Dual Quick Release Handles for Compact and Mirrorless Housings)
6. Regarding the strobe trigger system, the doubt is this one:
I see there are 3 ways to trigger the strobes (YS-D3):
Which is the best in this case? Considering the high performance YS-D3?
Thanks a lot!

6. Regarding the strobe trigger system, the doubt is this one:
I see there are 3 ways to trigger the strobes (YS-D3):
- Electronic synch cord (via m16 bulkhead)
- Fiber optics via built-in flash using fiber optic cables
- Fantasea FA-1 LED Strobe Trigger, but if I read correctly only manual mode work Fantasea FA-1 LED Strobe Trigger
Which is the best in this case? Considering the high performance YS-D3?
- Via electronic synch cord do I get both TTL and manual?
- Via optical fibre cords? Will the fast recycle time of D3 be limited by the internal flash? Do I get both manual and TTL?
Thanks a lot!
