Competition entries that prohibit cropping.  Had that 'crop up' in our shootout last year.




#323618 Little Green Shrimp in Lembeh, supermacro video.

Posted by Scuba_SI on 01 January 2013 - 08:27 PM

Here is a short video i shot yesterday of the 'Little Green Shrimp.'  It was shot here in Lembeh using both the Canon 7D and the Canon 5Dmk3 cameras in Nauticam housings.

On the 5Dmk3 i used the Canon MP-E 65mm lens set at 4x, and on the 7D i used the 100mmL with stacked 5x and 10x Subsee Dioptres.

It was, for me, and interesting comparison between the two methods.  the MP-E 65 get's built up as an amazing lens but very few take it underwater, and after shooting this i think for the average holiday makers its not worth taking underwater - might as well stack 2 diopters and have more flexibility for almost the same image quality.

Of course this isnt apples to apples as i would need two of the same camera for that, I will try the MP-E on the 7D soon!

#318704 Any feedback from those using NA-5DMarkIII ?

I just started using a 5Dmk3 today, and as im waiting for parts for my flashes im shooing at high ISO - it is very nice.  I need to get the 'L' 100mm to take full advantage of the focus speed.

Back to hardwired flashes is a bit dull but i think using ttl for the past few years made my photography go backwards.  More keepers but less stunners when it comes to ttl, imho.

Edit: I'm a numpty, didnt realise this thread was for the housing type and not just the camera!  I'm sure the housing is going to be a great one from Nauticam!
