3.5" Stereo lens made in 1865 on Sony A7II used underwater (yes, I know, but I have been shooting underwater for ~40 years so it was a bit of fun). Surprisingly effective.https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=229688&stc=1&d=1659437737

Nice. What was your setup?

Seacam housing. The lens, despite its age, has a near enough Leica screen thread (its Imperial but very close) so its mounted on a focus tube from Leitz New York. Just a flat port and single strobe. The focus confirmation of red edges worked absolutely fine even with a small (~1/8") washer stop. All good fun!

I am surprised by the nice color rendition.
