Which housing and WA lens do you shoot with? Amazing work!
Hi Cumbo. Thanks for the kind words regarding my pictures. I loved my G9, which I housed in a Patima housing, and I used external Inon wet lenses. For the two wide angle shots, I used the Inon UWL-100 lens with the Inon fisheye dome lens unit add-on. For the close-up shot, I used the UCL-165M67 close-up lens. I actually have two of the close-up lenses, which I stacked together when photographing the real tiny stuff.

As I previously indicated, I've since upgraded to an SLR (Canon 60D), but I still have the G9, the Patima housing and the lenses - I've just procrastinated on posting it online for sale. Even though the camera's coming out today are far superior, the G9 is still a great camera, especially when paired up with the housing and lenses I used. I probably wouldn't have upgraded, except for the fact that I do a significant amount of deep wreck diving (150' to 300' depth range), and I needed a setup with a better sensor, so I wouldn't get the grainy shots when I cranked-up the ISO in darker conditions.
