    micro-four third lens: panasonic 12-35/2.8 vs oly 12-50macro

    I’m debating between the Panasonic 12-35/F2.8 and the Olympus 12-50/macro option for underwater use. Pros for 12-35: great lens for dryland photo and video, fits under the 6” nauticam dome port that I already have Cons: cost (~1k$ +/- 15%) and wont work for macro Pros for 12-50 oly...

    M43 - panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 and Nauticam port xx?

    Has everyone used the new panasonic 12-35mm underwater yet ? And if yes, is there a Nauticam port which can be compatible with it? I was thinking either the 6" or even better the 4" dome #36137 for the Olympus 9-18, but not sure. And hopefully the large zoom lens for th2 14-42 would work...

    Is anyone shooting with magic filter and the Panasonic m43 7-14mm ? It doesnt seems there is a straight forward way to do this, as the 7-14 doesnt have a way to instal filter :-( If anyone has found a DIY approach with good result, I'd be very thanksful to learn it ! thanks

    good in low light vs sharp and crisp and fast focus

    if chosing between two cameras (DSLR, in fact EVIL), what would be the best underwater: -The one with highest dynamic range and great in low ligth -The one which would be the sharpest with lots of details and also the fastest autofocus ? Maybe I should post this on underwater-videography, but...

    second strobe - changing model and brand a good idea ?

    I have an ys-110a and consider adding another strobe. I'm seriously considering the inon s2000 due it's size so in case of travel or when more difficult to bring big rig, just getting the small strobe. I was wondering is having 2 different strobes is a real issue from a color temperature...

    nauticam housing and optimum (reduced) number of ports

    Is there some kind of magic to minimize the number of port for the nauticam housing ? Assuming 3 lens: WA lens (8mm, 7-14 or 9-18) + the 14-42/45 kit lens + oly45 macro lens, could it be a way to only use 2 dome port ? Seems the macro needs dedicated port but: I was thinking the WA 4" for both...

    Hi all lucky nex5n owners! Does any one has some good example of macro shots (still but also video) taken with the 18-55 + the nauticam 67mm adapter and the inon UCL-165 CU lens ? I tried the camera at the shop and it doesnt seem to focus so well when close, but the conditions were not great...

    getting nauticam nex5n with 18-55 port neutral ?

    For those who are lucky to already have this rig, how much does it take to make it neutral ? details on any combination you have would be useful (with arm, type of strobe and/or video light) but i'd be especially interested just to get the camera case neutral first (with the dual arm handler)...

    insulation = f(time, deco)

    I’m wondering if there is some trend/rule of thumb where you add layer or change your undergarment at a certain point. For example: If you usually do rec dive <50min, 55F, with a polartec jumpsuit (let’s say a dui one), then you’d switch to a Xm450 for a tec dive <90min with same...

    Atomic (z2?) first stage with no swivel but 5, 6 or 7 LP ?

    It seems on the atomic website, the z2/z2x first stage can be offered either with turret 5LP, or with no turret but 7LP. It seems some Atomics first stage have no turret but 6LP, so not sure what year or version it might correspond to ? Does anyone know the main differences with these...

    L&M sola 1200 or ikelite pro-2800

    I'm looking for a good video light. Right now only shooting (HD) video with a P&S (Panasonic zs3), I'd like to add one light first to this set up, but eventually will move to a camcorder setup and likely add another light later too. I like the pro-2800 way to attach to the (ikelite) bottom...

    is the latest DUI TLS 350 inflation valve glue

    Does any one know if the apeks chest / inflation valve is glued to the suit, or just supposed to be 'screwed' tight ? My suit was leaking a little there, so I was about to clean the valve and lube the inside o-rings, but when removing the inside cover, the outside valve came out too, and there...

    No way I can compete with Maxbottomtime and I didnt see orcas :depressed: So not a great video, just a very cool day of diving in California. Nothing fancy, nothing deep (45ft max over 3 dives, but 3h total). Just looking at some other places in Europe or East coast, not too bad to be able...

    wide angle/dome or macro/closeup lens : which one do you use the most ?

    I was wondering what uw photographers are mostly using : wide angle with dome or macro. I have a P&S Panasonic Zs3, and was thinking about getting a wide angle dome (I have found a dedicated one for the housing – DYRON : Dyron) But then, I had a closer look at what I’m shooting, and it’s...
