I assure you both that my camera does in fact focus, I have had it in the water twice now, focus is not an issue. Dark swimming pools and a slow 1/25 shutter speed and me swimming around will cause blur. I am going in again Sunday I think for additional tests with my strobes. BTW, I picked that blurry pool pic on purpose, I liked the blur, it was intentional.
Shooting distance about two feet:
Held a little more still:
The Y pool that lets me in has cloudy water, they installed a new filter system and it is still cloudy, I swim there three to five miles a week and it is always cloudy, it is not the camera:
All photos above shot at ISO400, shutter was 1/25 to 1/30 and f4.0, no strobe, Av mode I think it was.
The focus thing with me, y'all don't worry about my focus, lol
, when I am testing stuff out or playing around, I could care less about focus and blur and it shows
. When it counts, they will be in focus and no blur. All I am doing at this stage is making sure my equipment fits and works and the strobes sync and the balance of the rig and all my homemade junk works, I am just learning my camera and system right now. I have about three weeks or a bit until I get the rig in the ocean for real, by then all issues will be worked out and my shots will be in focus as always.
I am not using a 28AD mount, I am fully aware of the differences and incompatibility of mounts. I have owned this lens now for 3 years and I think I have a good understanding of what it needs to work at this time. I am using a DIY AD mount on my FIX 67mm kit.
I will get the number for you, just do not recall at the moment, to much wine
. The S90 at full zoom nearly touches the port, it is very very close. Set at 35mm the distance from lens to lens is the same or shorter for the S90 vs the Canon 570 and DC-12, very comparable. They both have intermittent corner vignetting with the 165AD, very similar.
Your focus issue may be related to the mode you are in and your shutter push. Use a slow press or a half press with the S90, if you punch it the shots are often out of focus, especially in auto mode. The P mode is kind of slow also.
My 165AD is closer on the FIX than the Inon mount places it with the Canon 570 and DC-12, both to the port and to the lens. I only have about 1/32 between lens and port now if that.
Turn the focus verification on or turn on safety focus. When you see the square come up and and it indicates proper focus, then shoot, should be good. BTW, when the focus window is on and the window does not pop up that means there is no focus and when the shake warning is alerting as it was in every single shot above, y'all are being to critical. I am going to get some more wineee
, watching Precious, later.
I tell you one other thing, the 105AD lens, I had one and I sold it on eBay some time ago. I was never really happy with it after I got my Inon 100WAL and then I put the dome on it and wish I still had the 105AD. But, I never got the results from it I did with the 100WAL or the 165AD but I hardly think my opinion is conclusive on that.
