That is a bunch of great shots!!! Thanks for sharing.

Very very nice Winsu. That is one fatty pygmy ha ha. And the batch of eggs is something you dont see every day. The framed bat fish shot is also really cool.
Hope you put together one of your helpful, good and informative trip reports.

Great shots - I was in Tulamben during the second week of Sep and had a ball - unfortunately we had some very strong currents which made things a little difficult.

Cool shots, I really like the last three as I love nudies, the eggs are "different" and the eel goes "what the f-word?"
One comment though - the fish marked as a pipefish is a cornet fish I think? slim, with a "crockodily mouth" and a few feet long? Cornetfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also called 'Flutemouth' in my part of the world...

Thanks Al,
Indeed the pigmy is huge – with 60mm macro + wet lens fully filled the frame ; and I can’t crop to straighten the position.
Let see if I can write a short report.

Thanks Karl
Practically no current when we dove Tulamben – but two years ago we struggled with strong current and had to crawl to reach the wreck.

Thanks Tigerman,
Actually I don’t know the name of that fish and too lazy to check my fish book. I thought, I couldn’t go wrong with generic name pipefish.

Do you use different ports for the 60mm and the 12-50mm or just one for both? If one port, which one?

For the OMD, I use one port, ie. 4" semi dome port for both lenses. Certainly, this port is much better than flatport on 12mm. Indeed, the magnification (not the quality) is sacrificed for macro, but not an issue unless you want to shoot tiny skeleton shrimp. I also use flip diopter; which is very convenient for macro when I use 12-50mm.
Note - I use 12-50mm if I'm not sure what lense I should use; which give me two focal lenght 12 mm and 50mm without the need of zoom gear.
