Fast Focus with the 7D Mk 2
Jun 29
The Canon 7D Mark II is one of the top choices for underwater photographers. I’ve used Bluewater Photo’s rental 7D Mark II on my last two trips, logging over 75 dives and several hours snorkeling with the camera. We’ve discussed the macro merits in Macro with the 7D Mk II, and how incredibly sharp the images are with the Canon 100mm macro lens and SubSee diopter, but...
