Ant sent us this capture of an AVCHD video made with the Sony NEX-5. The NEX was protected from the salt water with an inexpensive Dicapac WP-H10 waterproof case. Ant was on his honeymoon at the time as well. Congratulations to the Mr. and Mrs. Ant.
Fakhrudin, looks like the 18.55mm - if you click on the image and zoom in you can read nicely ;) great cheap case, going to get it for the Japanese snow - hopefully keep that moisture out that 'destroyed my last one'

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage.

Sony A7 ii with a Mamiya 645 80mm f/1.9 lens via Kipon Baveyes Focal Reducer. Here is a review of the Kipon Baveyes medium format lens focal reducer adapter for Sony A7 cameras. This adapter has a lens element that concentrates the medium format image circle down to the size of a 24x36mm sensor of the Sony A7 cameras with a 0.7x factor. The 80mm lens above has an equivalent focal length of 56mm. The concentrated light also gives us one stop of extra light. The f/1.9 is an equivalent f/1.36, a very fast medium format lens. This a manual focus lens adapter. Kipon Baveyes Medium Format Lens Focal Reducer Review by @mattiasburling Read the complete review at gunpowdervideo.com . Thanks @mattiasburling ! Check out Kipon for all available medium format focal lens reducer adapters. Let's go a step further by adding the TECHART LM-EA7 Autofocus Lens Adapter with the Kipon Baveyes we can have a medium format lens autofocus system. from Mathieu Gasquet

Hypothetically, this works with the Nex-3 too right? Any word on when a true dive housing for the Nex-3 comes out?
ReplyDeleteare you able to use the zoom with this case?
ReplyDeleteDoes it work with both lenses 16mm & 18mm ?

ReplyDeleteCool! I want this, what's the difference between Dicapac for high-end cameras and the regular Dicapac bag?
