E-330 does Lembeh/Wakatobi

[jlyle]

We're back from our three weeks in Indonesia. We spent a week at Lembeh Resort, diving the muck,

and a week at Wakatobi, diving the coral reefs and walls. It was a great trip. I cobbled together

a couple of trip reports, with lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy them.

Great pics! I just got your same setup for the sigma 105, I havn't been able to take it out yet . I first got what I thought would be the right length for the lens...way too short. I checked one of your past posts and saw that you got the longer port, I reordered the right one. I have to put that dive destination on my list...well it's already on the list, I just have to get there. By the way, I've been checking specs on the e-3, the e-330 is going to be alot more popular with divers now.

gballard: Why's that?

<scurries off to read jlyle's reports and live vicariously through him yet AGAIN...>

I think that some people have been waiting to see if the E-3 has liveview A mode. I was wondering if they were going to stick to liveview B, as they did in the E-510 and E-410. It looks like the only camera with that mode is the E-330. It's only my opinion,that someone looking for that feature will go ahead with a $400-$500 E-330.I have been looking at alot of photographic forums and that seems to be the trend.

Wow Jim...awesome shots. Just when I thought I had a favorite picked out I ran into another fantastic shot. I might have to get that 50mm Macro now. See what you're done!!! haha. Super shots.

nNice! You stated you were using a 50mm lens. Is this the 50mm macro lens or a straight 50mm? Trying to factor the magnification in.

Zuiko 50mm macro - specs say max magification is 1:2 ( crop factor is 2.0 ); the film camera equivalent of 1:1. Note: the pygmy images are cropped - they are only about 1/4 inch high...very, very small.
