Re: Sony A1 , 50mm macro, Seafrogs housing w/std port, LED light

main question I would have is why not F/8 or F/11 with a long shutter speed?   1/200th or 1/250th is the norm for most because this is the sync speed on the strobe, but with an LED lighting you're free to range more.    1/200th also fits with classic rules of 2x the focal length, though with IS these days perhaps not so important.    At 50mm, you could still drop 2 stops to 1/100th and satisfy it, but move the aperture substantially, boosting your DoF.
