Best Sony Underwater Camera

Best item ever for GoPro underwater action-activities.

I got this lens to shoot underwater video and stills with my Sony A6500 in an Ikelite DL/M200 housing. Sunday morning was my first dive with it. To say that it didn't disappoint would be a gross understatement! This lens is razor sharp, with very fast autofocus. I found that with other lenses on this camera, I had to set the autofocus speed to responsive, which is much faster than Standard. With this lens, I have to dial that back down, as the AF responds a bit too quickly now for my taste! Even with the A6500's 1.5x crop factor, giving this lens the equivalent angle of view as that of a 24mm lens on a full frame camera, this lens's ability to focus at very close distances makes it an excellent lens for underwater work for all but the smallest of subjects. The image I've attached is a saved frame from 4K video I shot Sunday morning. The subject is a curious Sheepshead that came in for a very close up look at my camera! I have several Sigma lenses for Canon: the 24-105 Art and 150-600 Sports, and this very value-priced 16mm prime for the Sony E mount continues that fine tradition of quality glass. Good job, Sigma!

I bought this housing because I wanted to use a good compact Sony camera to capture underwater wildlife. I was frustrated with the GoPro and unimpressive still photos. The housing allows use of all buttons on the camera and functions that allow quality pictures underwater. I have included pictures from my first time use in Kona Hawaii. Make your own conclusions from my experience. I highly recommend this housing.

Best wide option for your Sony FE camera

I took shots at dark. The camera saw what I could not. It is going to be quite useful in my underwater adventures.

I need this product in my sealife underwater camera

keeps the dreaded underwater camera fog at bay.

I will use the Sony camera as WEBCAM. Best accessory adjust the image. I'm satisfied !

I cannot believe that I have not purchased this before. Being a photographer I was always guessing about battery level and underwater also. Now on more guessing. Best thing ever

Used underwater and the clarity and sound was just above anything expected. Best investment so far, durable, practical and perfect for those few moments deserving perfect preservation. Just awesome!
