    Nauticam 180mm vs Zen 170mm Dome?

    I see Nauticam has now released a n85 to n120 adaptor for fitting the bigger DSLR ports on the Mirrorless port system. On the Port Chart, it lists the 180mm Glass Dome and the adaptor (36052) as compatible with the 7-14mm lens. Anyone got their hands on both the Zen 170mm and the 180mm and...

    NiMh Battery Charging (Dive-Xtras DPV) Issue?

    Haven't used my Sierra for a couple months, so I stuck the battery on charge a few days ago. I'm pretty sure the charger was working okay last time I used it! But I think I'm either not reading the instructions probably or my charger is faulty... Anyway... I put the battery on charge and...

    Zen Pen Port to OMD Adaptor - Anyone tried?

    I've been advised by ReefPhoto / Zen (same company) that using the 8mm dome from the PEN series with their new adaptor on the OMD (and I presume the new M1) housing causes slight vignetting - has anyone tried it / see the results? I've got an option on a cheap OMD - so looking at all the...

    Compatibilty of Panasonic Lenses with Olympus Housings?

    I'm looking at 'slowly' moving to a Nauticam housing with a Panasonic GH3 (or the next one..) so while we await the GHx and nautical housings. I'm looking at getting the optically stabilised 12-35mm lens as a start. Would it work with (the OIS) with a Olympus body (I have a E-PL3) and would it...

    Something better than a GoPro3:BE....4000$

    Been a bit bored today...oops... So been looking at upgrades from the GoPros (I have a 2) to something a little more 'prosumer' with MWB etc I think my main issue is stability, even with a tray and float arms, the GoPros are quite easy to shake under water causing blur/movement. So I...

    Thinking out loud - Upgrading to the E-PL5 from the E-PL3 (modifying the Oly housing)

    I know there are a few retailers / instructors on this board, who have to hand all the olympus equipment... So....I was sat here, wondering if the housings for the E-PL3 and E-PL5 are the same shape and wondered if the rear door from the PT-EP10 would fit on the PT-EP05...?? Anybody...

    Hi, Looking at replacing my 2010 (Red) Nova Scotia with the new one. I find the fit absolutely perfect - my current Red Nova Scotia is my THIRD so many years, one I love it that much. Love the idea on the thigh pocket, but I notice the cut is slightly different. Has the sizing changed? If I...

    Opinions? FL-36R (with PFL-E01 housing) or the UFL-2?

    As the UFL-2 is based on the FL-36 (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm thinking of getting the FL-36R and the PFL-E01 housing, instead of the UFL-2. With this setup I can gain the use of a decent flash on-land with the E-PL3, and also use it with while underwater. Look at guide numbers and AoV...

    Olympus UFL1 vs UFL2??

    Can't seem to find any real info on the difference between these two, apart from price! It appears the UFL2 is twice the price of the UFL1, so would buying 2x UFL1 instead of 1x UFL2 be better?? Any information, would be mucho appreciated! Thanks!

    I'm now on the 4th Scubapro Nova Scotia SemiDry - love em! Alas every year I have the same problem. The dual cuffs on both the wrists and the ankles stick themselves together. Maybe I'm not cleaning/washing it properly - but it always happens. Any ideas? I've just got their semidry boots and...

    Question: LP Hose Length on S38 Wing?

    My Hollis S38 wing is in the post in the next week, and I want to order a braided hose for it. Can anyone confirm the actual hose length (that came with the wing) being 22" ? Not the corrugated part, but the hose that you connect to the first stage LP port. Thanks!

    Looking at getting the Elite2 Harness, however will still need around 6kg of weight on top of the 2kg BP. I see Hollis sell a 'QLR Weight System' for the above system, but I can only find photos of the Pockets themselves - I'm having a hard time visualising them actually 'rigged' to a BP and...
