Having just entered the dark path of DSLR photography I finally got my housing yesterday.
I have never done any U/W photography before, but was surprised at the total weight of the rig.
I got an Oly E-400/PT E-03 plus a single Sea & Sea YS-110 strobe.
DSLRs don`t come any lighter.
Question: Do you change anything about your buoyancy ?
I usually use 2 kilos of trim weight at the back, but wonder now if this is such a good idea with several kilos of camera in my hands.
Probably wiser to move the weight to the hip.......
And I just realised that the often heard idea of placing one Hand/finger on a dead piece of coral for stability is totally worthless with the DSLR.
I am seriously considering weight lifting excersises before the next vacation.........:shakehead
