 Vital filter for underwater photos with appropriate camera February 27, 2003

This Sony VF-MP5K marine filter is either a UR-PRO, or the next best thing, and will restore the natural colors lost underwater due to the properties of water ("Roy G Biv" is the memory device we use to remember the order of "disappearing" colors as we go underwater- Red is the first, the UR-PRO "restores" this.) In good visibility conditions, the filter will be good to at least 20 meters / 66 feet. The depth will diminish with decreased visibility, and this filter is NOT what you want for cold, turbid waters of, say, Northern California. But it works quite well in decent vis and tropical waters (but remove it and tuck it away if you are very shallow, 3 meters / 10 feet.)

The filter does a good job of compensating for the loss of red, especially at moderate depths (30-60 feet). Deeper, where you end up using more artificial light, objects illuminated by strobes and flashlights end up looking too red. Also, the filter is a little dark so you end up losing either a couple f-stops or shutter speed settings making action shots more troublesome. Lastly, it is a little pricey for what seems to be a relatively simple product.
