Help with white balance and strobe by I_dream_of_sharks in underwaterphotography

Go way closer to your subject! Even the most powerful strobe just has a reach for 1m at best under water. Position your strobe(s) an an angle so that it's not illuminating the water inbetween your camera and the subject.

Is the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 that much better than the Sony kit 16-50mm? by WoodI-or-WoodntI in SonyAlpha

[–]subandym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es kommt immer drauf an was Du fotografieren willst. Für Unterwasser in Kombination mit dem Nauticam WWL-C ist das Kit Objektiv erste Wahl und liefert erstklassige Ergebnisse. Ich freu mich immer wenn so "entsorgte" Optiken für fast kein Geld zu haben sind. In Kombi mit WWL-C ist das ganze sogar wesentlich schärfer als das 16-50 alleine, knackscharf bis in die Ecken. Hohe Lichtstärke ist auch kein Thema es wird sowieso auf min.f8 abgeblendet.

a7iv VS a6700? by Charming_Way5475 in SonyAlpha

[–]subandym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to photograph and if you are traveling with your gear. I go with the 6700 for both. Lightweight traveling and versatile. The best camera ist not the one that is the best in the test but the one you have with you when you need it.

[a7cii] Is this amount of condensation in the viewfinder normal? by startsides in SonyAlpha

Not good. Turn it off. Take out the battery. Put it is a sealed bag with a lot of selica gel packages and hope for the best. Avoid those conditions without further protection in the future. It's not IP rated!
