There are not many photos around of the X-T1 underwater - so i thought i'd post some.

 
I've been diving with the X-T1 for around a month now - and its an awesome camera to dive with.  I use the X-T1 with the Fuji 14mm for wide angle and the Carl Zeiss 50mm 1:1 for Macro.  I use the Nauticam NA-XT1 housing, with 2x Inon D-2000 strobes.  The photos are full of colour and really sharp.
 
Heres a few pics from some dives in the Azores Islands - photos taken at depths of around 5m to 35 meters.  
I have plenty more if anyone is interested.

Some more pics of the X-T1 underwater with the Carl Zeiss 50mm. These were taken in the Philippines in April.  Really enjoying using this camera underwater!

These are great! Are these moray eels? They look uncomfortably close :-)

 

I only wish underwater housings were less camera specific. It's a lot of money for one camera that will get outdated soon.

 

Thanks!.  Yeah pretty big Moray eels, taken at night :).  They are ok into you stick a camera in their face and start firing powerful strobes, then they get a bit hissy! 

 

You tend to keep using a underwater camera setup for years - a lot of my friends use Canon G12s.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
