WTB: Nauticam n120 55mm and 70mm extensions, 230mm dome (or Zen)

All set, thanks. If anyone else is looking for the same dome hijodelmar may still have his, so shoot him a pm. I purchased elsewhere, through no fault of his. -
DIY fiber optic writeup with parts
lylefk replied to chrisdarke's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
Another thanks for this thread, I'm going to make me own based on this info as well. Question, has anyone ever tried to split a cable to fire two strobes with something like this? Working on a project where I'd like to fire 3. I was going to use the recommended Asahi Kasei MCQ-1000. https://www.i-fiberoptics.com/couplers-detail.php?id=4 My thought is to use a heat knife to help create the best end I can to maximize the throughput (is the correct term amplitude?). Or is there a better way to fire a 3rd strobe? I'm using the Nauticam LED trigger and a7riv housing along with a pair of ys-d2j and an older ys-d1. The housing hasn't arrived yet, is it THIS along with the standard connection for the housing side? I also see this one, which looks perhaps like Backscatters version of the Nauticam one I linked to. Thanks all!- 66 replies

Looks like it's sold, I messaged him about the dome last week but got no response.

Seems I can't edit it any more, but still looking for most of this except the 50mm extension, need the 55mm. And need the 30mm. And don't need the 16-35 focus ring. Thanks! Lyle

A7SIII, Lens/port recommendations
lylefk replied to Driftc's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
Hi there, stumbled on this thread and thought I'd revive it now that the sIII is close to fruition. Make any final decisions yet? A couple of thoughts. I've had great luck with the adapted Canon 8-15 on my rIII and rIV, I think you'll be happy with it. Another good option would be either of the 12-24 lenses for your splits. The G version is 20 oz and is great with the exception of flare resistance. The new GM is quite a bit more, and weighs 30oz but fixes the flare issue. I shoot with the 16-35gm underwater and frequently for splits and am really happy with it. That's a good choice as well. A lot of folks suggest the WACP and of course the new one is out as well, but those things are super heavy. I'd expect you'd not enjoy hauling it around. I don't know anything about how to make it work for splits. Finally, you did mention size is an issue but nothing beats a big dome for splits with a nice thin waterline. Matty Smith in Australia makes custom acrylic domes, they are pretty awesome. He does a 12" that really would be amazing for the splits. It's not super heavy because it's acrylic, but it is large and kind of a pain to pack. I've been using one for my Aquatech housing for a couple of years and really enjoy the shots from it. I'm picking up a Nauticam here and will spring for his 17" for that housing. Best of luck with it, hope the housing comes soon! Lyle -

If anyone is still curious about this, check out Kay Burn Lim. He's had this underwater in conjunction with his Red and Nauticam. Pretty sweet footage.
