A quarter of all marine life live on these reefs. I was on a mission for Panasonic LUMIX at the Red Sea to highlight the impotence of healthy coral reefs. I used the GH5s and the 8-18 mm wide angle lens 2.8-4.0, 45 mm macro 2.8, together with the Nauticam underwater housing and I'm very pleased with the result. Thank you Kimmo Hagman for all help, MARES for supporting my job.
