Why did you sell the whole setup right after the trip?

Nice pix, and thanks for posting! I'm shocked to hear you complain about noise, when comparing with a g10. I mean the sensor is 7-8 times the size. Weren't you always shooting the g10 at ISO 100? Perhaps the epl2 was in auto ISO? Many/most folks prefer to just shoot in RAW...

Burying the ocean conservation forum, under the "marine science and physiology" forum, does both a disservice. Marine science and human diving physiology have nothing to do with each other, and combining them is confusing, and lowers the eyeballs. Making them read the fine print, to find...

DxOMark - Compare sensors They actually had to give up a small bit of SNR and DR, to get the fast readout, for fast autofocus. A great trade off, in my experience.

99% of the fish are exported internationally, and to the mainland. 95% of them die in less than 1 year, if they even make it to a home They have been trying 'no take zones' for the last 10 years, around kona, and they have been ineffective, and ignored. Something stronger is needed.

Aloha Friends, Our campaign to protect Hawaii's reef wildlife from the aquarium trade is now laser focused on a commercial ban through the Abercrombie administration. We need letters to the Governor asking him to end the practice of taking Hawaii's reef wildlife for sale in the mainland...

Please please please, olympus, make an affordable housing for the ep3!! Everybody, go to the OLYMPUS | Global Homepage and pick your region, and find the contact us, and ask them for an underwater housing for the ep3, and not just the epl series. Here is the link for USA: Contact Us I told...

Most of the pany's have a thumbwheel or 2, for controlling the aperture and/or shutter. This is far superior to any menu based system, in my experience.

Hey Rob. Nice shots. Having switched from a dslr, do you mind the user interface very much? Do you shoot mostly manual exposure? How do you find adjusting the settings underwater? All menu based is not ideal in my view, but the price for a housing is great! Something like a pany gf1 (while...

That is great news that the price has come down so much. Last time I looked it was $1200 for cam and kit lens. Now the gh2 sans lens is $765 at the panasonic website. I'd still like a camera to produce great jpgs, especially for land use, and this apparently where the g3 really has made some...

I hope someone houses the g3. The problem with the gh2, is you might as well buy a d7000! For the price, and not much weight penalty. You can get a canon t2i for much less price than the gh2. The housings for the gh2 are as expensive as the slr housings. I just don't see the value! But put...

I've always had great luck, getting ambient light videos, with digicams, using a redish/orange filter, sometimes called UR-pro, (available from ikelite as a wet filter so you can take it on and off). Then I've been able to use auto white balance, and one of these filters, (below 15 feet or so)...

They are out of business. They are not selling the business, AFAIK. The license was one of the few tangible values left, and they gave it up. Here is a moment of gratitude for the original Dive Makai, Tom, Lisa, Kendra, Amy, Alexa. What an incredible operation!

Slow hands, I keep trying to say this clearly. That is a wet lens. It fastens on to a flat port. You cannot get decent IQ by trying to get images through with a 24mm equiv FOV lens behind a flat port. Nothing you do in front of the flat port will fix the fact that the light gets blurred and...

Yeah, shaker thanks. That dome is the one they used to sell for a couple of p&s digicams, but not offering any more. Thanks for your great shots and setup with a true dome on the lx3/10 bar thread. Good work! I wrote ikelite, a number of weeks ago, asking if we could get an lx5 housing with...

I know all that. With Ikelite, the problem is that without a dome port, using a wet lens, on a flat port, that barely has coverage for a 28mm angle, your going to have to zoom way in, on the 24 mm. And not get much value out of that nice wide angle. And even 28mm flat port has lots of...

Jack, or anyone.. The big problem here, is ikelite and 10bar are offering only flat ports, for a 24mm equiv wide angle. Flat ports do not work well even for 28mm! Is the 10 bar wide angle converter lens is flat on top, and flat on the bottom. Is there any way to just get a dome port? With...

Thanks guys. They look pretty good. Is there a way to look at the exif data on flickr? Seems like I've done it before, but not seeing it now. Thanks! Don

Scipionems, thanks for sharing your photos. It looks like fun. My big concern is wide angle. Using 24mm through a flat port has always been considered to lead to bad image quality in the corners, lots of blur and color aberration. Can you show us some shots at full wide open, where we can...
