michmo57 Posted December 5, 2015 Share #22 Posted December 5, 2015 I used to own a nikonos iv-a camera mid 80's. Not sure how well the flash would work underwater. You need separation lens from flash. And flash needs to be angled or you pick up particles in the water . Its called "backscatter " Below 30' ft you lose all color except blue and black. You need flash to bring back the color,but flash only reaches out 3 to 5 ft. I should have said you start to lose color at 30'. I think red goes first and then yellow around 40'.Its been along time.

It is a lot for this type of camera. Technically it is useful only for shallow snorkelling trips. Just try to use an LCD under water... The flash is in an impossible position too close to the lens, in 95% of the waters it will create a blizzard in front of the subject, and it is too weak to balance the colours under 5 meters anyway. Whatever else, it is not made for diving. It is a bit of an upmarket go-pro really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted January 20, 2016 Share #28 Posted January 20, 2016 While it is not for me I find it interesting that Leica can actually see a market for this camera and some of the others they have produced lately. I'm guessing there is a small market who buy things like this without any attention at all to price. (Jimmy Choo shoes anyone?) So I don't begrudge Leica for separating these people from their money. I think this has very little to do with photography and Leica may thrive in this market as only they can. BTW recently, one of my Alien Bee flashes fell hard onto concrete and the housing was cracked badly in multiple place. (Unit still worked.) Paul Buff company charged only $35 to replace the housing, test it, and guarantee it for 6 months. $14.09 for shipping it back to me. Quite a contrast in philosophy from a company that charges $95 for a neck strap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynp Posted January 21, 2016 Share #29 Posted January 21, 2016 As a close quarters boat camera...it might be useful. But for underwater, I'll stick with my Nikonos III. Dave S That is precisely why I am interested in this camera. To use it on my boat, without an underwater housing. Another reason why I most probably will be buying the X-U is that sweet little Sony sensor. I know what to expect, used it on our Vario and T's. The price is a bit high for an X camera, but I think about the U113 as a boat equipment, nothing is cheap in the boating world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted January 21, 2016 Share #30 Posted January 21, 2016 Yes, as a snapshot camera for the yachting set I'm sure it will do well - Leica need to get this into Chandlers in the more upmarket marinas around the world. The price is a drop in the ocean! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
