I have a still a dummy question. I have sony compact set up and one of the benefit to move to mirrorless m43 is to have interchangeable lenses and keep compact but if I understand correctly the best option is to use the wet lenses and this can be easily done for both. Hence it seems doesn't make sense to change the lenses? Thanks in advance for spending the time to help me.

Just saw the AOI UH-EPL10 set up and it looks very compact but I don't know if it will be a real upgrade for you

Hi, despite the covid situation the gear syndrome is there and I'm now thinking if the new setup release by AOI with the Pen10 can be a valid upgrade of my compact setup with fantasea and sony rx100iv. My key drivers for improvement are: 1) stay compact 2) improve battery life 3) improve flash recycle time and keep TTL (I use an external strobe) 4) decrease the focus distance without additional wet lens to allow CFWD and/or simil macro I'd like to have more resolution for cropping as well but I know already that this will be a step back. Thanks

Maybe the challenge is the minimum distance of focus, pretty high vs Olympus tg4 Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

[mention]Pavel Kolpakov [/mention] is the uwt ttl trigger fitting the fantasea sony6600 housing? Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

Is the oly setup really the double ? I was really thinking about that or Sony a6xxx. Any comparison pictures ? Thanks Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

Thanks, maybe this is the issue. It is bigger in low light condition. I have read that the minimum underwater is 5inches (underwater photography guide) at 28, is it correct ?

Yes Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

I use flexible spot small to focus on the eyes and then I zoom to 40-50mm and the focus is hunting sometime good or sometime focus not in the eyes Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

Same question for me. I use the IV with single strobe and the challenge is focus hunting when zooming beyond 35mm with difficult light condition.

Thanks for your comments. I like the current setup which I use with a single strobe sea&sea D2 but I have the following pain points: Focus hunting when zooming in difficult light condition beyond 35mm Battery life Recycle time I love the compactness and good image quality. I can’t give the compact size but I’d like to improve the above points.

Hi, I have lately read the article on Ikelite about the best compact setup with advanced performance and in the article they were suggesting the canon sl3 as the real step forward if you want keep a compact setup. I’m a mirrorless fan topside but the argument for the underwater setup make a lot of sense. What do you think? i

You are right most of the pictures are around 2.8 and I should learn to use M but why my friends with the Olympus tg4, Inon S2000 stone and automode is always able to capture good pictures? In theory Sony RX100 should be a better set up...

Since I make few dives per year I always use not rechargeable batteries...anyway thanks for helping
