Hi

I am in Australia but this Aussie supplier could probably be able to help you: http://www.seaoptics...cialshdslr.html That said the f/x rate isn't as good for you guys as it has been in the past!

Alternatively I did just find this: http://www.scubaboar...p/t-370244.html and this: http://www.uwdigital...productid=16123

I think uwdigitalcameras is in the US?

Cheers

Is there a way to shoot macro on the Aquatica AN-5 NEX-5 setup? I like the housing in general and the zoom dome seems rather versatile, but the only flat port available seems to be for the 16mm pancake lens. A 24mm effective lens would make for a rather comically short working distance if you were trying to shoot non-sessile subjects. Behind the zoom dome you could use a dry close up lens, but you'll lose 30% or so magnification and you can't take the diopter off to shoot far subjects.

I'm set on the NEX-5 because of the combination of sensor size and camera size. The Nauticam housing looks nice, I just wanted to make sure that was the only real option for the camera that supports macro and WA before plunking down the $$$. The 10bar seems to have the same limitation of no flat macro port. It does have a wet mount diopter option for the dome, but there's still the loss of magnification, and there doesn't seem to be a good WA dome available for it.

Thanks for any info or suggestions.

Have a look at this option: http://www.acquapazz...nex5/index.html

The housing is compatible with INON ports flat and dome and you can use the wet changeable macro adapter. It got a good write up in the most recent edition of uwpmag: http://www.uwpmag.com/.

Hope this helps. Currently debating between the Nauticam and Acquapazza options myself....
