The latest edition of Underwater Photography magazine—Issue 146—is now available as a free download.

The issue begins with a handy roundup of the latest industry news and new imaging gear. New equipment highlights include Nauticam’s Midrange Focus Optimizer 3 (MFO-3), Isotta’s smartphone housing, Ikelite’s housing for the OM System OM-5, OM-5 Mark II and Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, Nauticam’s housing for the Sony a1 Mark II and a9 Mark III, and Marelux’s housing for the Nikon Z8. There’s also a wonderful showcase of the winners of the 2025 Shark Photographer of the Year Competition.

Speaking of the MFO-3, Mike Bartick’s review of Nauticam’s unique optic is among the main features in the issue. Others include Ross McLaren’s interesting piece on what’s achievable with a budget underwater camera rig; Phil Rudin’s reviews of Sony’s a7C II and a7CR cameras; and a reproduction of Backscatter’s instructive article on using their Hybrid Flash (HF-1) and Mini Flash 2 (MF-2) in remote mode. To round things off, Angelina Pilarinos talks about what it’s like to work as an underwater photographer on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and Ross McLaren offers his six favorite sites in Scotland.
