    replacing Focus light with Video Light?

    This isn't correct, Neo can be charged both externally, or via connecting the charger directly to a battery. More info is available at fixneo.com

    Problem with zoom on Fix housing with Canon G12

    I'm sorry for the trouble. I'm not able to tell from your description exactly what is happening, though. Is the zoom lever centering, or failing to center? Can you feel the lever "skip", where the zoom control jumps over the zoom tab?

    NEW M43 products for Nauticam

    This actually isn't quite true... We haven't ever had the extensions in stock, but are filling orders as fast as Nauticam can ship them. Hopefully we'll have covered our entire backorder by the end of this month. I entered a place holder order for Phil before the part number was ever...

    NEW M43 products for Nauticam

    Just a couple of quick responses: E-PL5 can be installed in the Nauticam E-PL3 Housing with some modifications. This doesn't look like it would be an easily user installable kit, and it has not been established whether this will even be offered for sale, but we can provide this updated housing...

    Olympus 12-50 EZ Underwater Images

    Nauticam's Edward Lai has posted some images from their testing of the new 12-50 EZ lens port and gear system in the Philippines on the Nauticam Smugmug Gallery. This port has a knob to shift between electronic zoom and macro modes on the lens, making a very versatile compact system with...

    FIX UWL-28M52/PT050 compatibility

    Unfortunately, the UWL28 does not work with the Olympus XZ-1. (Neither does its predecessor, the UWL30). The Inon UWL H100 type 1 works very well for the XZ-1 in the Olympus PT-050 housing. For very wide angle, add the Inon Dome Unit II to the UWL-H100. There...

    Canon S100

    UWL-H100 is pretty great with Ikelite S100, but we haven't tried any of the less expensive options on that housing. We get asked by a lot of people what lenses work well, work, and just don't. A resource like this helps us illustrate the differences. It is a data point, not a definitive answer.

    Canon S100

    I don't have the individual files, just the image posted. There are prototypes in the field, so you'll see some real world samples soon. Sharpness of a given wet mate conversion lens is pretty consistent from camera to camera, and these all have good reputations.

    Canon S100

    Fisheye has published a very nice comparison. To summarize, many lenses work well, but FIX UWL-30M52 seems to be the best value.

    FIX battery charger for 1000DX

    Hi Don, I'd actually suggest sending both the battery and charger back for evaluation... The red led sequence is an error, and it could be caused by either. We are able to ship USPS Priority Mail, and our Canadian friends rarely complain about brokerage with that service.

    P*ssed at Inon and Reef Photo

    Larry, Your July 8 email reply (which included a promise to "vigorously transmit" your displeasure on Scubaboard) is open in our support queue. Once I have an answer I'll reply there. I don't know whether or not we'll come up with something, but if we can't I hope another retailer or...

    P*ssed at Inon and Reef Photo

    A more productive avenue for your time on scubaboard might be to inquire if any other members have that item you could purchase. Anybody who purchased that mount base, and added an optical cable set for an Inon strobe, probably has that part in their spares bin. lmorin is looking for the white...

    P*ssed at Inon and Reef Photo

    Thanks to Dave Haas for bringing this to our attention. The statement that we didn't try to find a solution for you is completely false. I've sent an email to Inon asking for a part number for that part so we may order it, but it has not been replied to. If we can get the part, we certainly...

    ys-01s with Oly xz-1: TTL??

    Ron, Are you masking the internal flash? Could you take a picture of the front of the flash and post it?

    Nauticam housing for LX-5

    Hi Squit, Our tester says the tripod wasn't moved from shot to shot, and the tripod was weighted with 16 pounds of lead to make lens and camera swaps easy without lots of movement. The LX5 shots are at 24mm, and no zooming is required to knock out vignetting. LX5's lens is almost exactly...

    Nauticam housing for LX-5

    In our testing, the dome attachment did not add a significant amount of usable field of view to LX5 after zooming to knock out vignetting.

    Wide Angle Lens recommendation for XZ-1

    We recently evaluated all of these. Both UWL-H100 28M67 Type 1 and Olympus PTWC-01 look good, and offer similar field of view. I'd recommend the Inon lens because it has better optical coatings, the ability to expand the fov with their dome port, and replaceable m67 threads allowing it to be...

    XZ-1, PT-050, and Wide Angle Lenses

    We tested all of the lenses we could get our hands on on a weighted tripod to control distance, and I thought I'd share the results here. Control, No Lens Nauticam Wet Mate Dome Port (in air fov) Olympus PTWC-01 Inon UWL-H100 28M67 Type 1 Inon UWL-H100 28M67 Type 1 + Inon...

    Nauticam housing for LX-5

    Image stabilization will shift the lens elements enough to cause slight vignetting that is inconsistent in position. Our test shots were from a tripod, and even then I see an extremely small amount in the lower left corner that is not apparent in the smaller sized image posted in our review.

    FIX G11 Housing Problem?

    These are static o-ring seals, so even if lots of crud accumulates under the window there is no movement that can wear on an o-ring and eventually cause a leak. This is nothing to worry about.
