Re: Sony 90mm Macro and +6 diopter

I find that holding the camera absolutely still while it focuses is the key. A bit of movement from finning, current, surge, whatever, and it will just keep hunting, but if you hold it still, it's okay. Doubly so with a diopter - I'm currently on a liveaboard, practicing shooting it with a +13 diopter (Weefine WFL-05S), and while it's bloody difficult to lock focus with it, it does work. Manual focus is not available with my housing.
