Nauticam NEX-7 housing announced

[PHIL RUDIN]

Hi Bill,

I think your nudi's look great.

I do have a concern regarding where we draw the line when it comes to moving critters to get a better image. I don't think it was a problem in your photos but I have seen some cases where the shot was a bigger concern than the critter being photographed.

Phil: Thanks for the input. I agree that the shot should never be at the expense of the critter; that is why I only shot the nudis this way and tried to put them back where they were. Interestingly the nudis mostly liked the stage and a few actually crawled back on after I moved them off. Too often I see folks say bending a wire coral all the way to the ground to get a shot of a shrimp or crab or goby rather than trying to get them in context.

Just bought the NEX-7 yesterday, bought the only one they had. They didn't even know they had it yet, the store manager brought it out for me. We haven't had much time to play with it yet but it seems to be really nice.

US seems last in the world to get them. Enjoy

I just got the NEX-7 and was wondering if anyone has tried using the 16mm + fisheye with the port for the 18-55mm lens as opposed to the dome port. If I can forgo purchasing the fisheye port it would save me a lot, and I am a student so this is pretty important. I know there might be some vignetting and was wondering how bad it might be and if anyone might have a sample pic of this so I can figure if I will be able to crop it and save some money. Thanks so much for your help/insights, very much appreciated.

BTW, I am upgrading from the Sealife DC1200 and Sony T300
