In connection with the possible purchase of C5050 and PT-015. I will mainly use the camera on land, but want the opertunity to use the camera underwater during dive vacations once or twice a year.
In connection with this I request the advice of this fantastic board.
Anyone have any land experience with the TCON-17 (x1.7) tele that Olympus offers for the C5050? Is it worth investing in? I am used to having my 200 mm lens for my film SLR, which I would like to replace by this camera.
Is there any flash/strobe that can be used both on land and during diving?
I am considering buying a Sea & Sea PS-25 DX, plus arm and tray.
Can this be used on land?
As far as I can see I should invest in the following:
1) Initially:
C5050 standard package.
Battery charger + 8 batteries NiMH
AC Power cable
128 MB XD card
512 MB Smart card
RM-1 remote control
PT-015 housing with extra Orings.
2) Option
PS-25 DX #16980
4 extra NiMH batteries
DX base stay #21130
DX arm #21140
optic sync cable
3) Option
TCON-17 Tele lens plus required converter
Any general comments to the above configurations and choices are extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!!!
