Anyone shooting with the Sony a6500

Another WA option is the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye zoom on a Sigma MC-11 adapter. That's what I went with, and it's significantly cheaper than the Sony 10-18.

Did you make your own zoom gear for the Tokina 10-17?

I am working on it currently. I'm on revision 10 of my design and revision 7 of actual 3d printed parts. Hoping 1 or 2 more tweaks will perfect it.

Yes is do use a pump. (I have the Nauticam Vacuum system.)

Here are some pics from a trip on the Aquacat shot with that camera (both above & below the surface).

Great shots Hoag. Can I ask what kind of strobes and arm lengths your using? I’m looking into an A6000 myself.

The first dive I had a pair of Sea & Sea YS-01strobes. One of the strobes failed on the 1st dive and I shot the rest of the trip with a single strobe. My arms are a 3 inch and a 5 inch arm on each side.

Since this trip, I have upgraded to a pair of Inon S2000 strobes and I am very pleased with them.
