Scubanoobi thanks for sharing. I’ll be in Galapagos in May so hopefully I have water conditions as nice :) I can’t wait to check out the area and check out the dives. Any recommendations for getting three and staying there? I’ll have my LX-10 in hand and ready to start taking photos as soon as I...

No worries Vic I’m still learning myself. I have found that the camera takes good photos pretty consistently in the auto modes without playing with much more than the zoom and occasionally a white balance. The video has been pretty good so far but I also need much more time in the water with...

Vic K how did you make out on your trip with the LX-10? I was not able to get away in January like I had hoped but I am still locked in for Galapagos in May so I have my fingers crossed the LX performs well out there.

Alex B how did you make out on your dive trip? Which wet lens did you eventually settle on for the trip?? How are you doing with the LX-10?

hold your hand in front of the camera as if you were going to take a picture of your palm and that will work to set the white balance if you don't carry a slate. In shallow dives (30ft or less (sometimes even 40ft)) you really don't even need to touch the white balance. The camera does a great...

@AlMitch I completely agree with you, and it has been frustrating. When I initially was doing my camera search I had gotten hung up on the bells and whistles of the LX-10 compared to my old camera that I didn't even imagine that the biggest issue would come trying to find a lens for it. The...

With that short of a time period between now and the day of your trip its going to be tough to try out the 2 different lenses to see which would work "best". When I was looking to replace the Kraken lens with the AOI UWL-09 the folks at backscatter were able to send it to me to test it out...

@LimitedSlip7 I like the Big Blue lights I have a pair of the AL1100RAFO and they seem to do a pretty good job whether I'm doing photo or video. I also have a big blue black molly that I keep in my pocket. I really haven't had any issues with their lights yet but if I do I will share. I think...

I was able to get in the pool finally with my LX-10 camera in the Ikelite housing and 2 different wide angle lenses to try one at a time in the same positions and conditions and what a difference>>> Photo 1040564 was not zoomed and no lense installed so I can get a base line. Photo 1040570 was...

**I moved this over here from the LX10 topic since its also relevant to the different wide angle lenses being tried and tested with the LX10 camera and different housings** I received the AOI UWL-09 pro from Backscatter to test out on the Ikelite/LX-10 camera combo that I have and so far my out...

great video @Scubanoobi !!!

I received the AOI UWL-09 pro from Backscatter to test out on the Ikelite/LX-10 camera combo that I have and so far my out of the water tests look pretty promising. I took several photos at varying distances from a roll of toilet paper (LOL it was there) and it did not have any of the...

Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing.

I just got back from Cozumel and I also noticed that many business still had not recovered or returned since the hurricane hit the island. It was still a great week and hopefully the money I spent while I was there helps the local economy chug along.

You guys were all pretty much spot on. Ikelite does recommend removing the o ring and storing it separately for longer periods so it doesn’t set (hold a shape). Thanks everyone

Thanks @Hoag Looks like you see handling the o rings in a similar way as others. I’m going to do it just like you guys. Pete

go get em!! The guys from Belize Pro Divers will whip up some nice lionfish ceviche right on the dock with you!!! Grab a few beers while your at it to celebrate the hunt. :)

Thanks @AggieDiver and @northernone between you guys it sounds like storing it without the O ring in place is the safer way to go. I guess the Ikelite folks don't pop in on the board too often to offer their own advice, but what you guys are saying makes complete sense.

@RDRINK25 Just wondering if you were able to check the make and model # of the wet wide angle lens you were using. I’d like to take a look at it myself since I’m in the market for one and currently trying out different options. Thanks Pete

@morty343 did you ever get to try out the Inon lens?? I'm returning my KRL-01 but I'm going to get to try the AOI before I buy it.
