Ikelite recommends their W20 screw on wet lens for wide angle conversion. It will vignette a little and the camera lens can be zoomed to 35mm to cancel that. That works for most people. Other brands of wide converter do not cause as much vignetting. The Olympus PTWC-01 is better in this...

I've stayed many places in the Dauin Beach area. For luxury, this is highly rated. And quite expensive relative to the places I usually stay ($200 per night versus $30-50). It's amazing how retirement changes your perspective on expenses. I've been quite content at El Dorado, Pura Vida, and...

There are no guarantees of sighting pelagics, they follow the food which follows the current and weather. Malapascua is good for thresher sharks, but I think they are seasonal, and you will be too late. They typically go to a cleaning station at 5AM and divers wait there, it's fairly deep so...

I'm holding my order until this is resolved.

Personal opinion: The 9-18 with the zen port is a real bargain compared to the others, costing say $1050. For the wider lenses you're looking at $700 + 800 for the 8mm lens and zen port, or $950 + 500 for the 7-14mm lens and zen port. If you are Bill Gates, get one of each. These are...

I checked online for a spec, did not find one. So I took rough measurements from mine using a 6 inch caliper that was too short for the job. It is about 7 inches wide by 6-1/8 inch tall by 6-1/2 inches from front to back (rough, because I have the dome port installed so I measured the...

A rubber band, so simple. Phil Rudin suggested velcro tape for the same function. Both work. Thanks for the tips. I believe you can shoot macro with the dome. Put a close up lens on your lens, inside the dome. I believe the dome is a lens too, and it has the effect of moving the infinity...

The PTWC-01 was introduced long ago (in about 2002?) for use on their housings of that era. I have had one since about then. It mounts directly on the M67 ports of many housings, including the Olympus PT-010, PT-015, PT-018, PT-020, PT-022, PT-027, and PT-050 housings, and others with step...

The Olympus PTWC-01 apparently does not vignette on this housing, according to Yuzo. UWdigitalcamera.com :: Compact camera housing :: OLYMPUS :: OLYMPUS PT-050 for XZ-1 "You can attach 67mm wet type lenses, but wide conversion lens, you see vignetting with INON UWL-100 or some other lenses...

The G12 is a great camera. If your choices are between the Nikon P7000 and G12, go for the G12 and get the standard Canon Housing. The G12 and Canon housing will run under $700 and will be a "good setup". You might want to add a strobe, well worth another $500 when you feel rich again...

When you have multiple problems like this, it makes me think of impact or spill damage to the camera, just a wild guess. That can cause multiple intermittent problems. But here are some things you can try. When you can't download photos, something is wrong with the USB port or cable. The...

Both strobes say they will fire without a fiber cord. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Use a fiber cord for most reliable triggering. It also avoids accidental triggering when someone else's strobe nearby fires.

Focus lights really help the focus speed of the E-PL1 and its younger twin E-PL2. Some niceties: It's really nice if the focus light goes off during the flash, so you don't have a hot spot. And a red focus light, or red filter option, is much less alarming to timid subjects. I've found...

Minor correction: the crop factor is 1.5 for Sony, inherited from Minolta. The smaller Canon DSLRs have a crop factor of 1.6, which is possibly the source of the confusion. Regardless, the 15mm Nikonos lens becomes a 22.5mm lens, and is still quite spectacular optically. I'm curious about...

No Point and Shoot camera that I know of does support TTL flash in Manual exposure mode. The camera makers decided that if you chose Manual, you would want manual flash too. There was a time when cameras did not even have TTL flash, yet somehow great images were made. The flash exposure...

Phil, I saw you apparently moved from Olympus M43 to Sony NEX5 (or do you use both?) I know you were getting great results with the Oly, and wondered why the move. I'm interested in what you see at the pro's and con's of either. Not trying to get a religious debate started, just curious.

You might want to cross post this to the Ikelite forum. Believe it or not, there was a case in the past of a Canon model, I think the S90, that had different dimensions in the European version so the buttons did not touch the camera. Anyway, I know they will resolve this immediately for you.
