Sony FE 90mm F/2.8 macro shot with A7II in a Nauticam housing Images

[PHIL RUDIN]

First dive using the new Sony FE 90mm F/2.8 macro with the Sony A7 II in a Nauticam NA-A7II housing, Two Inon Z-240 strobes shot in manual. All shot at ISO-200 using EFV and Nauticam 45 degree enhancement viewfinder. Octopuses eye F/16 at 1/250th, LizardfishF/11 at 1/125th, Batfish F/11 at 1/125th.

This is one outstanding macro lens.

Phil,
good to hear. Are you planning a more comprehensive review of this lens somewhere? I have a NEX-7 which I assume will work with this lens. Has Nauticam produced a port for this lens or does one of their existing ports work?

Phil what combo of ports and extensions did you use please with the A7II? This is what was kindly suggested to me by ReefPhoto for my NEX7. Could ditch the focus gear and just use AF.

	Nauticam Macro Port 60 for Nikon AF-S 60mm w/ M67 Thread
	Nauticam N85 to N120 60mm Port Adaptor for Sony E-Mount System
	Nauticam SE90-F Focus Gear for Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS

Hi hibneth, shooting for a review of the A7 II with Nauticam housing using 90mm macro and 16-35mm zoom for the Sept/Oct issue of uwpmag.com which will post Sept. 1 this is a free PDF download. I should have a second review for the A7r II in a later issue with more lenses.Hi Alien, I am using borrowed Nauticam equipment at the moment and as you can see from the photo the port configuration I am using is a temporary one. If has a 100mm to 120mm port extension with manual focus (which I am not using) a 20mm port extension and a standard 120mm macro port. The new port for the 90mm macro for A7 (100mm) housings will be a direct mount to the housing and extend the length of the port narrowing at the end to include a ball mount and the standard 67mm thread for accessory C/U lenses and flip adapters. The 100mm design will allow an extra volume of air to offset the weight of the lens and a bit of the housing. I used the system yesterday with two Nauticam 10 inch X 2.5 float arms and the system was very well balanced. Four of yesterdays new photos and the port configuration are attached.

I have the 90mm macro lens and love it above sea level on my A7S. Below, I shoot with the A6000 and the 50mm macro with a Nauticam port that doesn't have a manual focus knob. Shooting macro, that's challenging and I await your reviews with baited breath as I would love to standardize on a full frame platform once and for all.

Phil - I have the NEX-7 in the Nauticam housing. Will the new port for the 90mm need an adaptor for this housing ? I assume so.
Thanks

This is the Nauticam recommendation.
