I've read through the extensive discusion regarding the 7-14 lens (Panny) and Nauticam but I would love to hear thoughts, suggestions, limitations, etc regarding my proposed set-up
- Panasonic GX8
- Panny 7-14 lens
- Nauticam housing with dome port
- 2 Big Blue VLT 2800 lights on arms
Ok, that is the proposed gear. I already own GX8 and the Big Blue lights so I would need to purchase the others.
What I would like to use this set-up for. I might be asking it to cover too wide an area:
- I live in Seattle so dive the Sound so that would be the majority of the shooting
- I plan to hit God'sPocket next fall
- We try to hit the Hawaiin islands at least once a year, we'll be ther this year
- I have the night time pelagic dive booked for this year in Kona
- Have a trip to Austrailia planned for 2016
So what I really want to know is how folks think this set-up will work for all these situations. I can't spend more $$ on a strobe set-up right now, especially since the lens, housing/port will be about $3K.
For the pelagic i'd like to just try the 4K video so don't plan on stills. That could change though. Most other diving will probably involve stills, although the 4K video with the ability to pull stills from the video may be enough for my needs.
Thanks everyone
