Here's the poll. On your digital rigs, how many of you use the manual focus when shooting? I have an Olympus 3040 and have tried the manual focus - but as some of you may agree, its quite difficult to get it just right! Anyone have any tips?

Is it the inside or outside that's dirty? The inside really shouldn't get dirty since it should be dry all of the time. If its the outside, than just use anything that doesn't corrode the metal or destroy the seal (ala dish detergent should work fine). Just don't use anything on the glass...

Considering that the manufacturer is in Japan! Once these housings leave the country they pretty much don't care anymore. You really can't have it "serviced" as far as I know. Matt, from Marscuba.com was telling me that there is no O-ring kit that he know's of for the buttons. You MIGHT...

Ok - where do I go for Oceanic parts / manuals? I just called the LDS here about getting my delta 4 reg serviced - they wanted somewhere along the lines of $100+ dollars! Absolutely crazy..... Any ideas?

So far the cheapest airfare to cozumel I found was through travelocity.com (about $243, not including taxes + arrival and departure fees, which would be another $200) - HOWEVER most of the days they offer fares are sold out. So, I was thinking of using priceline. Or, does anyone have any...

I've been shooting photos since last June. When I purchased my rig I did some research and found that the olympus 3040 was a good choice because (at the time) it was the only camera which had a cheap (and good) housing available. Now, there are many different models of cameras available that...

Adjust the white balance to compensate for the blue. That is one of the best things about the 3040 - you can custom set the white balance. I bought a small dive slate which I store in my BCD pocket and set the white balance whenever I reach my target depth. It makes a world of difference...

The outline you notice is caused by a couple of things: 1. Most likely the outline is caused by the large difference of contrast between the dark color of the fish, and the bright blue of the ocean. 2. Point 1 plays into 2. Most digital cameras do not seperate areas of high contrast...

Anyone have any info about these regs as well? Thanks!

I see that Suunto makes two (mosquito and vyper?), Diveright makes one or two. I know there is one more that I have seen available, but can't think of the manufacturer right now. Its amazing that more manufacturers aren't jumping aboard the bandwagon, prices would surely come down if there...

I am thinking of buying a second watch, and in the process want to upgrade. Who makes watches that have integrated computers? I am looking for a watch that would incorporate decompression features, as I want to get into deco training soon. Thanks!

Yeah! If you could post your contact I would appreciate it. I contacted Snap-Tite about the wattmeiser earlier today and they said they don't sell them O2 clean from the factory, and gave me a contact of a Co in NY that cleans them......I seem confused here - can anyone clear this up?

Before anyone starts to condesendingly tell me that only a fool would do this - yah, I've heard it already! Anyhow, I am looking for sources for parts, and am having a difficult time finding any. Specifically, does anyone know of a source for oxygen compatible solenoid valves? I am curious...

It got damaged due to my Pelican case being a hair too small. I never realized the cover was hitting it every time I closed it, until I did an overhaul of it.....I want to upgrade to an ikelite housing, but I would like to sell this one on Ebay, and don't think it would fetch a whole lot with a...

Anyone out there know where I can obtain replacement parts for the Olympus PT-007 housing? I am looking for the red shutter release/focus lever combo on the top right hand side of the camera, since mine cracked! Any info would be great, thanks!
