Thanks Tino. I'm a keen diver and own an a6000. I've been thinking about buying the Nauticam housing and your photo certainly helps my decision. Have you used the a6000 for dive video or only photos? Any information at all would be appreciated.

Hi TonyM53,

 

For me the Nauticam Housing is the best choice for underwater photograhpy with the A6000!

 

My Setup:

 

I use my A6000 primary for photos, for videos rarely. You find some videos from me on Youtube, but they are still made with the Sony NEX-5N an NEX-5:

Hi Tino

 

Thanks for sharing your u/w photos and the details on your setup.

 

I am using the NEX6 with the kit lense for u/w macro in a Nauticam housing. I am considering the Zeiss Touit 2.8/50 as well. Do you feel the Zeiss lense returns better photos than the Sony lenses?

Hi Morton,

 

In my opinion gives the Zeiss mutch more details und quality then the kit-lens.

Hi Tino,

 

I already got the port extension ring so basically no excuses for not getting the Zeiss Touit 2.5/50 :-)

 

However I was hoping Nauticam would offer us a solution so we could bring the upcoming 90mm FE mated with our A6000/NEX with us below the surface. I guess that would deliver good macro results as well......and save you a few bucks if you upgrade to a A7. So far no news from Nauticam regarding this :-(

Hi Morton,

 

I think Nauticam will make an Port for the upcoming 90mm FE Macro. Upgrade to the A7 Serie is for me at the moment no option, because you can use external flashes only with electronic cable and no TTL. Optical cables are not possible, because you have no internal flash at the A7 Series.

 

On the Nauticam website you find this note by the A7 housing:  "The NA-A7 includes a pre-installed Nikonos style 5-pin bulkhead with universal hotshoe connection (x and ground connection only) installed, enabling manual control of the most commonly available strobes, such as the Inon Z-240 or Sea&Sea YS-D1. Additional strobe firing options will be announced at a later date."

 

I hope Nauticam will bring this "special triggering-strobe" in the next time to the market.

Hi Morton, 

 

I have some news about the Additional strobe firing options from Nauticam. The LED-Trigger is available, see infos here:

It will work like the LED-Trigger for Canon, see here:
