Upgrading my camera system. All items must go. Asking $4000 if purchased all together or prices as marked for selling items separately. All items are in excellent condition, are full functioning, and have been well taken care of. Any defects are noted. I am happy to send photos of any or all individual items (DM me for details). Shipping from the US. Buyer pays shipping + insurance. All items were purchased in 2019 or later (and there was not much diving done in 2020) Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH5 4/3 Mirrorless Camera - Body Only (MSRP $1599. Asking $1150) - Near perfect condition, included original packaging, one battery charger, spare battery, and strap) Authentic Panasonic DMW-BLF19 Spare Battery (MSRP $79.95. Asking $40) - Mint, holds full charge. USB charging Dual Battery Charger for GH5 (MSRP $49.99 - Asking $25) - Mint Panasonic LUMIX G LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm Lens - H-E08018 - H-E08018 (MSRP $1097.99 - Asking $850) - Mint. Includes bag, hood, front, and rear lens caps but not original box. I bought this new in February and have only used it a couple of times. Great topside lens. Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger for NA-GH5 / G9 / S1 / S1R (manual exposure) - na-26309 (MSRP $267 - Asking $175) - Mint. Includes original packaging and batteries. I used this on only one dive trip as I bought it in April as a replacement for my prior one which broke. Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS II - (MSRP $249.99 - Asking $150) - Excellent. Glass is in perfect condition. Blades, focus, and zoom smooth. Best lens to use with the WWL-1 (sorry...this already sold) Nauticam NA-GH5 Underwater Housing for Panasonic Lumix GH5 & GH5s Mirrorless Cameras - na-17713 with Backscatter Airlock Vacuum System with Manual Valve and Backscatter Airlock Bulkhead (MSRP $3289 - Asking $1750) - Very good condition. All buttons in good condition and o-rings well maintained. Comes with the an extra o-ring and nauticam maintenance kit. The Vacuum system is key to preventing leaks and the lead detector works flawlessly. The casing has some mild cosmetic water spotting that does not affect function. The rear digital display acrylic window has a scratch which has been partially removed with the Novus system but which does not affect the appearance of the digital display underwater. Nauticam M67 Mount Ring for WWL-1 (MSRP $52 - Asking $20) - Brand new in box, never used. This has been a great camera system and has taken phenomenal pictures and video for me, but as mainly a still shooter, I have decided its time to move to a full framed system. The system takes excellent photos though and you can see some examples on IG @keri.lunsford . Happy to answer any questions that you might have and to send photos of all of the items.

I've swapped mine out a couple of times underwater but it is always a pain. Generally, I would just put it down the front of my wetsuit. I had the bayonet mount holder for my ultralight arm but I generally only used that for my CMC-1. In theory, I loved the idea of having both and being able to switch during a dive, but in practicality, I generally would only use one or the other. If I had to remove the WWL-1 it would be to just shoot with the flat port.

I’ve been using the gh5 with the pano14-42 II and WWL-1 for wide angle and CMC-1 for macro for the last three-four years. Extremely versatile setup, but I’ve found that I will rarely take the WWL-1 off underwater. If shooting macro, I will often switch between the flat port and the CMC-1. The zoom gear is a necessity IMO. I also have the pano 8mm with Nauticam acrylic minidome and have been very happy with this for pelagics that I know will be very close. I often switch the two setups between dives. with regards to the flash triggers, Ives used both the mini flash and the Nauticam flash trigger. For my current Seacam D160s, I’ve had issue with the flash trigger providing enough light to trigger the Strobes (but not with the mini flash). I have no issue with the flash trigger and my former Sea and Sea YS-D2js. With the strobe, I generally have to change my camera battery after 2 dives versus 3 with the flash trigger. I’m in the process of changing to a different camera so feel free to DM me if you’re intertwined in any gently used GH5 components keri

Thanks mike! I agree that there are definitely limitations to the canon EF 8-15 fisheye. I suspect I’ll primarily use the 15mm. I agree the Sony A7R4 looks excellent, but the additional consideration is that my Seacam strobes have limited functionality outside of Nikon or Canon. Do you have any suggestions for the best zoom lens/port in terms of image quality?

Hi Chris, thank you so much for your insight. I do some reef work but my primary joy is shorting big pelagics in blue water. With my current setup, I’ve found that when you are likely to have close animal encounter (eg sea lions or makos/blues) the fisheye is excellent, but many other circumstances I prefer the flexibility of the zoom. I’ve found that some pelagics Truely benefit from zoom (although I would prefer them as close as possible). My issue with my current M4/3 setup (apart from the obvious issues with GH5 autofocus) is the resolution for large blow ups (which are the primary shots that I sell) keri

I have the Panasonic 8mm fisheye lens and Nauticam acrylic dome (recently purchased...only used one one dive trip) as well as the 14-42mm II Panasonic lens with zoom gear and N85 35 Macro port (more gently used but in great condition). Also have the WWL-1 and the CMC-1 and the bayonet mount for that port. Changing camera systems so offloading components of my Nauticam GH5 system.

Let me know if you are still interested. I’m in NJ and also have one to sell.

Do you know if your item is compatible with full framed mirrorless cameras such as the Canon R5 Nauticam housing?

All- Relatively new to the forum but I’ve been following for a while. I got into UW photography more seriously about 3 years ago. At the time, I thought I would be more of a video than a still shooter, so I invested in a Panasonic GH5 with Nauticam housing. Since I primarily have been switching between the WWL-1 with Panasonic 14-42mm zoom (I also have the CMC-1 for macro) or the Panasonic 8mm fisheye with Nauticam acrylic minidome. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that my true joy is more in stills than video, and I’ve decided to move to the Canon R5 after my research. My plan is to purchase the canon EF 8-14mm fisheye with dome. I would like to also get a rectilinear zoom option, but it’s unclear to me as to the best option. The WACP-1 or -2 appears to be the best option, but I’m put off by the weight (4 or 8 kg) as well as the cost. does anyone have any recommendations for lens/port options for a zoom rectilinear option for the Canon R5? Thank you in advance for your expertise! Keri

I also have a Nauticam housing with vacuum system/leak detector. Never have felt the need to test with a dunk test. Highly reliable system. Wish I could say the same for my strobes

I'm a diver currently in the NJ area near NYC and underwater photographer. Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been shooting with a GH5 which I bought thinking I would be doing more video than still. Now with more experience, I am going to be upgrading my camera system. Need to sell my old equipment to help offset the cost of the new system. Keri
