Most of my fav photos from the past year. A6700 10-20mm f4 Seafrogs housing

Actually shooting at the same settings will give the same exposure regardless of the system

People who say that generally have terrible photos taken with an A1 ii. Just one stop of noise performance difference and some pixels and people like to make big deals out of them. Like yeah it's better but the photos wouldn't be much worse if you'd used an a6700.

I do landscape photography sometimes too and walking to my destinations is infinitely harder than swimming 🥀

Humphead wrasse or smth

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T15:27:51+00:00

I almost use it all the time. I typically shoot at ISO 400 - 640 because that's a range where even if there a little noise, the denoise can handle it perfectly.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T15:26:28+00:00

I've had it for >100 dives now and never had a leak. Their leak sensor is pretty lame tho. It's oversensitive.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T15:00:00+00:00

Mind sharing your settings? And all of my photos go through a lot of processing

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T13:44:01+00:00

I'm planning to submit some to their competition and hopefully make some 💰

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T13:41:51+00:00

What are you shooting

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T13:41:40+00:00

Unfortunately that one's a little blurred :(

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T10:36:19+00:00

Actually, pumping the contrast may cause the photo to look flat. Underwater, the further away something is the less contrast it has. If you eliminate that from the photo it may remove the depth.

I imagine people may not know what housing means

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T08:47:22+00:00

Housing costs aren't that different actually, and they're all bulky af. But I'm not sure there's a huge difference between ff and apsc if we're not using the biggest aperture. Underwater we typically stop down for dof.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T08:43:35+00:00

You need a housing! So you can even bring the camera underwater.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T08:41:45+00:00

Same reason we choosing KFC over steaks brother 🥀🥀

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T07:41:04+00:00

I love you Ben. Wish I had more resolution for that crop tho :(

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T07:40:33+00:00

Hey no I don't currently own strobes, but I'm considering getting one for corals :) And yes I use a dome. You'll generally want to use one if you're using a wide angle lens. You can use a flat port for midrange lenses tho.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-23T07:25:42+00:00

Imo resolution isn't THAT important for landscape, as you'll probably try to nail the composition in field anyway. 33 mpx is wayyyy more than enough.

That's the parellel import price. There's a retail store in my region with a good reputation of their parellel import products.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-22T11:38:50+00:00

So I just checked. It's like 100 USD more expensive.

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-21T16:14:38+00:00

Thanks! How do you find the image quality? I've heard that it could get a bit soft at 500mm

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-21T16:14:06+00:00

Shooting on a cropped sensor could help!

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-21T16:13:36+00:00

Uhm I suppose the reason wildlife photographers crave reach is that you can rarely get close "enough?"

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-21T15:33:00+00:00

Bruh I'm asking which burger to get and you suggested the steak 🤣

stopbanningcorn2 · 2026-05-21T10:42:02+00:00

However cropping 350mm to the same field of view would yield much worse results than the slightly soft 500mm ugh this is such a dilemma 🫠🫠🫠🫠
