    Oly E410 and other thoughts

    Reefmaster Mini access door stuck

    one thing you mite be causing it to not opine is a pressure difference if you cleaned it on a hot day and sealed it back up and the housing cooled down there would be a vacuum on the housing. that could make it really hard to open if not impossible to open if you ever take it on a plain make...

    D80 and 18-200mm VR DX

    i find that that with my camera i need a lens that is at-least 17mm or wider to get a decent wide angle shot. my camera has a 1.6x crop factor. Also it is a plus if you can find a lens that focuses to within a 6 inches of you subjects. a foot is acceptable if you are diving in very clean water...

    Pt. Lobos Carmel Bay, California

    Don't do it in the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it afterwards in photo shop or some sort of editing program. the camera does not do a very good job at this plus if you don't like it you cant undo it if you do it . i would just focus on getting close to your subject. and you should see some...

    Anyone actually dive with a 6cf pony?

    i have used both a 6 and a 13 CF tanks and there is not much difference in size i like the 13 CF bottle better the the 6 CF bottle because it will give you enough time to do a safety stop at deeper depths. the 13 CF bottle is also negative at full and empty. i have very good air consumption and...
