ok, so I only meant to get a cheap compact. then I some how ended up with an e pl5.
then I realised how much the housing was. then I realised how many more accessories are needed ( who knew some simple bits of plastic that probably cost pennies to make are so expensive? I mean, roll on 3d printing...)
anyway, i've begged/ borrowed/ stolen/sold half my other possesions on ebay, and have most of the parts now. the main point of going for the e pl5 was I saw some beautiful, sharp images that had been taken with the new 60mm lens. and I really want to take macro images, otherwise it would have been sony rx100.
what are the pros/cons of using the 60mm versus a wet diopter with the 14-42? what are the biggest things you can photograph with the 60mm?
if a wet diopter, which are cheapest, and what is a good "quick snap on/off" type attachment? is the ptmc-01 worth getting? or are others better?
although I wouldn't mind using the 60mm on land too... but maybe there are cheaper lenses from other brands I could use on land?
also, I have a ys-02 strobe, what's the cheapest plate/arm system? does it really need to add buoyancy? it's only a small setup, not sure of in water weight, but can't be too bad. or do people try to have cameras that float up if lost?
THANK YOU
