    Inon Z330 strobe light shade

    One day you will want to get it off, to fit inside a snoot or whatever. it is best to remove from time to time to get the salts out. If you soak it for a few days it will come off, then it is only a matter of occasional rinsing, or do the file job. If you don't like maintenance, find someone...

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    I am really glad you have found an improvement! Thanks for letting us know. All underwater gear seems to need a lot of attention, hope you get past the agro and get back to the fun stuff!

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    I think the wash comment is a full Red Herring. Your rust is inside hinge parts that can not be dried without compressed air - some stainless is just not up to marine use. Regarding the 'rubber band' - they are refering to the rubber 'seat' which is part of the (2 piece) upper left hand...

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    As always Barmaglot is first in line to lend a hand!:cheers: But sorry, I was meaning for Pyndle to put that in, so we can see the parts and movement issues - as what one person calls a post, I call a thingymabob etc, so I thought it would help get to the bottom of the problem. Interesting to...

    It would be really useful for me if you could shoot a video with your phone showing the gear movement and the camera as installed. If that is at all feasible?

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    Yes, so I have been looking at my situation more closely. When the camera is in the housing and 'working' or binding (either) - I take off the front port and look square on the camera lens and I see the camera is not centered. It is shifted to 'user hand Right' or towards the shutter release...

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    Yes, I gave the silicone a try and there is an improvement. I would even say the issue may be gone, but I will want to give it more time to be sure. Great idea, thanks. @Pyndle, you probably are doing this, so my apologies in advance, but you are shifting the zoom gear slightly beyond the front...

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    Yes, I recall you dive with a vacuum active system. I use the Sea Frogs vacuum and operate it per the manufactures instructions which leave you with a neutral vacuum - yes, and I am aware of your opinion on that.:wink: Thanks for the detailed advice - will try. Sorry for you on that score, but...

    Head to head with the 60mm vs 90mm on the OM-1

    True story... the other day I thought I would try this newfangled Chat GPT to supplement my intelligence, I asked it 'how do I draw a square' ... it responded with precise instructions that would lead me to draw a triangle. Tax owing on my land was cut in half !!! I was happy with this new...

    Annoyed with Seafrogs quality (or lack therof)

    I use the same housing on a A6400, using the kit lens and the 90mm Macro used, for 4 weeks last year. I wish I had a good news solution to offer but my experience has been similar to yours. Principally with the focus ring binding. I thought I solved that last year but found on my trip but in...

    AOI OM-1 and the Olympus 90 Macro

    Would you be so kind as to comment further on the additional viewing optic? I am looking at the Oly line and am currently using a Sony6400 w/90mm Macro - I find subject acquisition a devil of a job and am looking for ways/instruction on how to improve this lack of skill. BTW, nice shots ...as...

    Head to head with the 60mm vs 90mm on the OM-1

    Interesting. I am unable to download the originals, but on my monitor the 60mm w/ cmc-1 is far less detailed than the 90mm. To me not surprising as the wet lens will always change the optics. The color balance is surprisingly different. I would be more interested in a straight lens to lens...

    Does the lens get jammed on all RX100 models?

    Does the lens get jammed on all RX100 models?

    Do you think the OP could put a dome on this system? Sure looks neeter than my flip! Can you stack diopters?

    Does the lens get jammed on all RX100 models?

    Mmm, would it be fare to suggest that your housing is in its' 'sunset years' - served its' time. Don't get me wrong, I love Macgyvering older gear/DIY but I often forget how short my time really is. Maybe if I lived at the water, but when you only get a few weeks a year in the water, it's nice...

    Does the lens get jammed on all RX100 models?

    I used to put my diopters on at the bottom, but as I am only using them for macro, that is not a problem. And then I got a flip holder it is without a doubt worth the investment. I think it was about $30 from overseas and I recommend them highly, and no air issues and no dropping. I think the...

    Does the lens get jammed on all RX100 models?

    I have a M2 and a Meikon that have gone on about 70 or 80 dives with no issues. Standard stiff buttons at the 100 foot mark (they loose on assent) but nothing else. I rinse religiously but have never needed to lube the buttons - maybe I should have? Also it is good for small critters using an...

    Iphone housing - Worth it? Which one?

    Oh, I may have been a bit fast to question why there are depth meters as part of the electronic bundles of some of these housings as some camera manufacturers are pairing up with the housing makers and incorporating features that communicate with the housings. So maybe the Depth and Temperature...
