First of all the suck up, thanks to everyone on this board for the posts these are without a doubt huge for us beginners.
For the past 4 years I have been using a Casio P&S with no strobe as my first setup shooting macro with the on-board camera flash . It is now nearing Xmas time and I can smell my year-end bonus just burning, I mean burning!
Hopefully the gods at my work will come through. And if they don't, damm it boys I am still going pulling the grenade pin.
Kidding aside here is what I am thinking about spending it on:
Canon S95
Recsea UW Housing
Inon D2000 (single strobe)
ULCS or OpticalOcean tray set
Now you know what is missing, a WAL (UWL-04 or equiv). I am on the fence as I am wondering if I have never had one how much could I miss it
I plan on shooting macro and coral/fish scenes as well as some primitive video (don't hit me Nemrod)
I have poured over this forum and UWPG (this is a huge help) and here is my question:
Based on what I want to shoot can I leave my WAL lens on at all times? The thought of taking it on and off (using a caddie of course to store it) multiple times a dive doesn't seem to make sense to me given that my subject matter has already moved on .
In what instances are you installing and removing your WAL lenses?
As always, many thanks for your thoughts.....Dave
