I made
my first experiences in the underwater photography
with a Canon EOS 5 in an
ewa-marine "plastic bag".
Basically not a bad solution for beginners but very
dissatisfying on the long run.
Permanent condensation problems and limited deep
diving options don't really allow shooting
proper UW photos.
Nevertheless, even with this beginner set one
can sometimes take useful photos like the one of
dolphin 'Oleen' and a snorkeler in
Nuweiba, Sinai/Egypt. |

The
approved Nikonos-V became my first "real" UW
camera which opened the world of UW macro photography
to me:
|
- Nikonos-V & optical viewfinder DF-12
- Strobe SB-105 with arm & tray
- Lens UW-Nikkor 20mm/2.8
- Lens W-Nikkor 35mm/2.5
- Sea&Sea Extension tubes 35M-2 (1:2)
& 35M-1 (1:1)
- Nikonos Close-up outfit (1:3,5)

After
two years of travelling me and my UW assistant got a
bit tired of always dragging XXL-size luggage plus
permanently f...ing around with airport staff during
check-ins. So finally I sold my photo backback and UW
photo case and bought a digital camera plus laptop - a
very good choice:
|
- Canon PowerShot S40
- Canon UW housing WP-DC 300
- Sea&Sea Strobe YS-25DX with flexible
DX arm & tray
- Sea&Sea Fiber optical cable
- Sea&Sea Macro lens 2T (1:2)
- Sea&Sea Conversion lens adapter
