My Fantasea housing finally arrived and my cold has broken a little, so in the water I went today. I'll be giving my opinion of the camera and housing after I use it for a while. I'm all thumbs with this new housing, two strobes, and solid arms
. For today my tasks were to check the housing for leaks and take the camera down to play a little. I took the housing on a quick dip to 60' and no leaks so back to the car to fit the camera in. I usually do all this at home and dry, not wet, in a car, with new and larger equipment. I successfully managed to get the camera in the housing without dripping all over it, but my attention to drippage made me miss one important item that I did not notice until I got back in the water --- THE LENS CAP WAS ON!!!! Back to the car to undo my boo-boo. Once back in the water, I went to the upper cavern to see what I could shoot in low light - not much, the autofocus would not lock onto anything inside the dim cavern. I turned toward the opening and got this shot with the two strobes on full:
I checked the 14mm end of my lens inside the standard flat port with an extension to allow it to zoom to its full 54mm. This also was a test of sunball capture with F22 and 1/250 sec:
Just a couple trys at fish - not too great but not bad:
