    Tank explosion kills one - Cozumel

    Out of curiosity, how do you know this to be the case? I dove at SCC and I thought it was one of the less professional places I've dove at. I'd be amazed if their tanks were annually inspected with anything approaching the rigor that PSI/TDI would recommend. Rob ---------- Post added...

    2x 24w HID Brightstar video lights with extras - never used

    I have two 24w HID Brightstar video lights (self contained with lithium ion battery packs built in). Never used! They come with 1" ball adapters as well as lantern handles, and a tight beam (non-video) reflector that you can swap in if you want a more typical dive light. They also come with...

    50w HID Light Monkey - w/ standard goodman & video reflectors

    50W Light Monkey HID with both the standard goodman handle as well as a Salvo video reflector with a 1" ball. Perfect way to switch between a super tight and super bright 5000 lumen focused beam up to a very nice wide video beam. Burn time around 2.5 hours. Asking $1100. In very good shape. Rob

    Archon Lights

    That is disturbing. Doesn't look like anodizing, looks like it might have been powder coating or something similar? Was it like that when you bought it? I'll reach out to Archon and see what they say. Rob ---------- Post added April 25th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ---------- It looks like light...

    Archon Lights

    I will warranty any lights purchased from me for at least one year from time of purchase. IE - replace or fix within one year, after that, best effort or some trade in value towards a newer light. I want to treat customers well and build a sense of loyalty, as my favorite dive manufacturers...

    Archon Lights

    Hi, I'm a US dealer for Archon (full disclosure). I'm not familiar with the DH30; it looks like a variation or earlier version of the DH36 - see the current product list at ARCHON. I have some DH36 units that will be selling via Amazon shortly; or if anyone contacts me here, I can ship...

    Poor customer service

    I'm the OP, and I never received a new bag. I got nothing from Akona until I posted this, when I got a probing PM asking to pass the buck. Akona didn't respond to my multiple attempts to contact them directly before I posted this message. Don't be mistaken, the "Sherwood Scuba Rep"...

    Anilao Trip WA September '09 with the New Lumix GH1.

    Yah I tried that but it looks like the uploads are all old (2008) and the link is broken there as well ;) Rob

    Panasonic GF1

    Just to complicate the fish-eye / ultra wide angle thing a bit; I believe the Panasonic bodies when used with Panasonic lenses will software correct some of the barrel distortion. Not sure if that shows up in RAW or only JPEG, and to what extent that would happen on with the 8mm or 7-14mm but...

    Hey Ed - I'd love to see these shots; do you have them posted anywhere else? The Imageshack links aren't working. Rob

    Panasonic GF1

    I'm no expert but I've been reading the forums and just wanted to clear a couple things up - the 4/3rds sensors are not the exact same shape so the crop factor isn't going to have the precision of 2.0, more like "2 ish", small detail. Theres a video on vimeo comparing shots on a GF1 and a GH1...

    Panasonic GF1

    I just ordered a GF1, I can't wait to get it, I've been reading about it on the review sites and (dpreview forum). Looks like the m4/3rs GH1 and GF1 (have a following with videographers) and (Philip Bloom) - apparently a notable proponent of video on dSLRs - one of his blog posts talks about...

    Poor customer service

    I contacted my online merchant, they said since its now out of warranty (it wasn't when I originally had the issue and reported it), they won't do anything, they said all they could do (understandable) is send it into you guys to fix anyways. But since it's out of the 2 year warranty, I am now...

    P&S tips (with & without lenses)

    Thanks for the tips! I had the ISO set manually. I did notice when I changed out the batteries in the flash to some freshly charged NiMH's, it recycles a lot faster - haven't been underwater again yet, but I wonder if the flash was getting weak because the batteries were alkalines and getting...

    P&S tips (with & without lenses)

    Thanks for the reply. I had it in Program mode, thats the closest to manual I can do. I tried a couple different ISO settings I think I ended up using 200 or 400. I did find the right pre-flash setting (2) but next time I try it I'll shut off red-eye flash and try it with 0 pre-flash. I...

    P&S tips (with & without lenses)

    I have a SD960IS with a UWL-100 wide angle and a UCL-165 macro lense, an HID and a strobe (fantasea remora). I took the camera and housing (no lenses) to a pool last night, first time shooting with a strobe before we head out to Chuuk/Palau/Yap on saturday. The pics were coming out quite dark...

    Poor customer service

    It was April or May, submitted via the Akona "contact customer care" web interface. I bought it online, so I can't bring it into the local dealer... Rob
