Nexus Manual Focus Macro Port

[TimIngmire]

I recently bought a manual focus macro port to house my growing range of macro lenses - something that I've been meaning to buy for some time but the retail price has always stopped me.

So at todays Stoney dive-in I had the chance to try this thing for the first time and I'm really pleased with it. In Autofocus mode the lenses have a real tendency to hunt around before getting a lock. This usually results in the lens racking all the way in an out as it sorts itself out - often the noise of this scares critters.

Below is just one shot from today - getting this kind of portrait is much easier with manual focus and the eyes are bang on.

As usual the viz today was dreadful - on some of the shots the fish actually have bits on their snouts where it has landed. This is one of the few where theit isn't to much backscatter.

Very nice photo, almost hard to believe that's Stoney Cove. I was hoping I could report on manual focussing of the Sigma 50mm in my Ike housing, but sadly an o-ring disintegrated in my regulator hose, so there was no second dive for me.
