it says there is a flat lens area that your lens will shoot thru...does this and if so, how does this affect the photo...seems like it is a waste to have an L lens to shoot thru a flat piece of glass that comes no where near the quality of an L glass..
If you don't want your precious L glass directly exposed to the elements, you'll
have to cover it, won't you?
Which is why I often cover my lenses with a high-grade UV-filter.
So you'll have to decide between quality and protection!
am asking as per my other thread I want something to protect the whole lens and camera..1d mk 2, seal it completely out to the outer element where my uv filter screws in....so to seal the whole thing from salt air, spray water and so forth except the uv filter...so would need to secure at that point with gaffer tape i assume?
Afaik, pro-dSLR's all have environmental seals everywhere (partly explaining their high price), which ought to enable them being used in any weather without adverse effects. That's what they were made for.
but using Ewa Marine would appear that the glass you shoot thru would degradate the picture...does it? thanks..t
Of course it does! You add 2 more reflecting surfaces!
Ewa Marine 'containers' can be useful up to 15/20 feet underwater. Max! Wanna go deeper? Then you need a custom built underwater case (and
BIG strobes!). Those run several thousand bucks apiece . . .
I.o.w.: Ewa Marine sets are really kid stuff!
Any hints on making the whole camera waterproof, sandproof and sea air proof would be helpful and appreciated....i know there are underwater hard casings but too expensive right now..thanks..t[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=67243\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Like I said: pro-dSLR's all have environmental seals everywhere (partly explaining their high price), enabling them being used in any weather without adverse effects. That's what they were made for. That's what you paid for.
Underwater photography is a whole different ballgame!
