Getting close with a Zen 4-inch glass port
Aug 12
I’ve really grown fond of my Zen 4-inch glass dome port for the Tokina 10-17mm. Zen makes these ports for all housing brands, including Aquatica, Nauticam, Sea & Sea, and Ikelite. Although they are a little expensive at $899, they are well worth it! I can get really close to the subject, like this tiny cowrie you see below, and light it properly. The photos are sharp, even in the...
Underwater photography in the pool with the Sony RX-100 III
Aug 10
We just got our Recsea RX-100 III underwater housings in stock, so I grabbed a camera and tried some shots in the pool with the Dyron wide-angle lens. I didn’t use a strobe, ambient light only, and I was pretty happy with how they came out. This is a great little...

Nikon 80-400mm AF-S VR lens – great for wildlife
Mar 07
Nikon has announced a new AF-S 80-400mm VR F4.5-5.6 lens. This is a full-frame lens and will work equally well on a Nikon D7100 or a Nikon D800. When I started dabbling in wildlife photography, I started off using my 18-135mm lens, and quickly switched to a 18-200mm VR lens. After getting a few decent bird shots in Costa Rica, I decided to splurge and spend about $1,000 on a 80-400mm VR lens....
Mini-review of the Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6
Feb 13
Mini-review of the NEX-5R and NEX-6 I’m a big fan of the Sony NEX series – my main underwater setup is a Sony NEX-5N in a Nauticam housing. So of course I was excited when the NEX-5R and NEX-6 came out. I’ve been able to spend some time shooting the NEX-5N, the NEX-5R, and the Sony NEX-6 recently. I’ll be doing a full review soon including high ISO performance, focus...
Ikelite Wide Angle Port Grants Access to Wet Lenses for the Canon G-15
Feb 07
Looking to use a WET wide angle lens with your G-series Canon camera? In all housings, the port is too long to make effective use of wet wide angle lenses. If you’re using the Ikelite housing, however, you now have access to wet lenses via their wide angle port. By swapping the existing flat port with the shorter, flat, wide-angle port you gain access to a number of wet wide angle lenses,...
