Every underwater photographer has experienced the frustration: you've captured a perfect shot, perhaps one you've been planning for, only to find it marred by backscatter. The hours spent in Photoshop or Lightroom, painstakingly removing hundreds of these pesky dots, often end in dissatisfaction.

Thankfully, those days are over. Erin Quigley, a renowned American underwater photographer and image editing expert, has developed a solution: the Backscatter Xterminator Photoshop plugin. This tool, designed for ease of use, is a game-changer in the world of underwater photography.

 It is robust yet lightweight, making it ideal for both underwater and land activities. It is dust and stain resistant, and shockproof for drops up to 2 meters (6.5 feet). It features a four-times optical zoom (4.9mm to 19.6mm) and digital zoom extending up to 24 times, ensuring detailed shots. 

The 16.35-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor delivers sharp images. 

This convenient flip adapter, capable of accommodating two M67 lenses, transforms any 67mm-threaded port into a versatile diopter holder, providing easy access to two macro lenses. Crafted from robust, hard-anodised aluminium, this adapter ensures secure attachment to ports with 67mm threads. Its clip-lock mechanism guarantees that lenses remain securely in place during intense shooting sessions.  

The housing is compatible with most Android models, including larger models such as the Samsung S Series Ultra and Google Pixel devices, as well as all iPhones from iPhone 8 through iPhone 15 Pro Max. It pairs seamlessly with the free SportDiver App, which is available on the App Store and the Play Store.”

With a body and lens hood made of black hard-anodized aluminum alloy, the internal lens elements comprise four glass elements and four groups with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating. Comes with a QR2 quick-release bayonet mount system, lens secure line, rear cap cover, neoprene dome cover and larger neoprene pouch for transport to protect its polycarbonate front dome element with hard coating. Depth-rated to 60m (200ft), it measures 99mm in diameter and 40.3mm in height, with a weight of 331g on land and 170g underwater.

Nikon claims that "the Z8 condenses the advanced functionality and performance of the flagship Nikon Z9 into a compact and lightweight body while also maintaining superior robustness and reliability." The Z8's body is 15% smaller than the well-liked D850 and about 30% smaller than the Z9's.
